This provides 1,000 mcg (1 mg) of **Lithium** as lithium orotate — a trace mineral your body encounters naturally in drinking water and certain foods. At this dose, lithium sits in the low-to-mid range of what supplements typically deliver (500–5,000 mcg). Epidemiological studies have linked higher trace lithium intake from water supplies to better mood outcomes in populations, and small clinical studies suggest low-dose lithium may help protect brain cells from age-related decline.

The orotate form is the standard carrier used in nutritional lithium supplements. It delivers elemental lithium at doses hundreds of times lower than prescription lithium carbonate (which runs 600–1,800 mg for psychiatric use), so the safety profile is very different. At 1,000 mcg, you're firmly in the nutritional range — there is no established upper limit or RDA for lithium at these trace doses, and side effects at this level are uncommon.

The formula is straightforward: one active ingredient with minimal excipients (just cellulose). If you're exploring low-dose lithium for mood balance or cognitive support, this gives you a focused, single-ingredient option at a moderate dose. Keep in mind that the clinical evidence at nutritional doses, while promising, is still emerging — most robust lithium research has been conducted at much higher prescription levels.
