LITHIUM - MOOD SUPPORT

Support your brain health with the trace mineral lithium. Lithium is an alkali mineral salt that we are most familiar with incorporated into rechargeable batteries found in our laptops, phones and electric vehicles. The truth is that lithium is a naturally occurring mineral, sometimes found in mineral waters, that has profound effects on our brain and overall health. High dose lithium carbonate or citrate have been used by doctors to treat brain disorders such as bipolar and mania. Such high doses of 600-1200 mg daily have often caused heart arrhythmias, muscle tremors, hypercalcemia, weight gain and other negative effects. Lithium bound to oratic acid is called lithium orotate. Many people respond better to it than the other forms, possibly because the dosage doesn't need to be nearly as high; Andean folk in Northern Argentina consume 2-30mg daily in their drinking water (Concha, et al 2010).
