KAL Lithium Orotate 5mg (120 Capsules)
by KAL
"Micro-dose lithium orotate — 5mg for mood stability, neuroprotection, and brain health"
Overview
KAL Lithium Orotate provides 5mg of elemental lithium from lithium orotate. This is a micro-dose — prescription lithium for bipolar disorder uses 300-1200mg lithium carbonate. Low-dose lithium (5-20mg) has emerging research for neuroprotection, mood stability, reduced aggression, and even longevity. Population studies show areas with higher lithium in drinking water have lower rates of suicide, dementia, and violent crime. Lithium orotate crosses the blood-brain barrier more efficiently than lithium carbonate.
