BioStacksLithium and brain
Lithium plays a supporting role in brain. Lithium is a trace mineral found naturally in water and food. Low-dose lithium orotate is used in supplements for mood and cognitive support. In clinical studies, lithium may support neuroprotection and brain health.
Effective dosing
Most evidence supports 500–5000 mcg of lithium daily. Low-dose lithium orotate supplements typically provide 500–5000 mcg (0.5–5 mg) elemental lithium. This is far below prescription lithium doses (typically 600–1800 mg lithium carbonate). Products below this range may not deliver meaningful results.
What the research says
The clinical evidence for lithium in brain is moderate. Prescription form is well-studied for bipolar; low-dose supplement evidence is limited to observational data Learn more
