Complementary Prescriptions A highly bioavailable lithium supplement. Lithium orotate is a trace mineral that helps to boost and balance your moods. Studies show it also helps promote mental focus and may improve memory. Lithium orotate is easily absorbed, and is 20 times more bioactive than other lithium salts, thereby allowing the individual to take smaller amounts.

Each capsule provides 4.8 mg of elemental lithium. When salts of lithium are ingested, the lithium ions interact with several neurotransmitters and receptors in the central nervous system, resulting in decreased norepinephrine release and increased serotonin synthesis. Lithium, like sodium, occurs naturally in a number of different salts. Lithium orotate is a highly bioavailable form of lithium that is available as a dietary supplement. Because of its superior bioavailability, lower doses of lithium orotate may be used to achieve healthy brain lithium concentrations and relatively stable serum concentrations.
