Lithium Orotate

Lithium as a nutrient can be beneficial in people who are stressed and in activating white blood cells, especially those whose white blood cells are suppressed. Lithium carbonate is a prescription medication often prescribed by psychiatrist. However, carbonates are not well absorbed by the body. People who use this form of lithium require regular blood level checks by a physician to avoid toxic levels. Conversely, when the active mineral transporters lithium orotate or lithium arginate are used at recommended doses of 2 to 3 tablets per day blood levels do not need to be checked, since these transporters are providing only small amounts of lithium as nutritional supplements. Lithium Orotate is one of Dr. Hans Nieper’s formulas.
