Description
This is a summary of the website Knysna Health, which provides information on the benefits of lithium orotate. Lithium orotate is a supplement that has been shown to have a wide range of benefits for mental health, cognitive performance, lifespan, and bone density. It is recommended for use only when needed, as it can be addictive and have side effects.
Lithium is an alkali metal, naturally present in trace amounts in minerals, water, soil, fruits, vegetables, and other plants that are grown in lithium-rich soil. It plays a role in the proper function of several enzymes, hormones, vitamins, growth factors, and the immune and nervous systems. Aside from helping patients with mental health issues, lithium has a wide and ever-growing list of health benefits.
Studies and reports indicate that Lithium Orotate may:
Assist with emotional balance, including anxiety and depression
Improve cognitive performance
Increase lifespan
Increase bone density
Improve mitochondria
For nootropic use, we suggest Lithium Orotate (5mg elemental lithium) at a recommended dose of one to two times per day. Many neurohackers use Lithium Orotate only as needed. For example, when feeling anxious or in the middle of a mood swing.
