Lithium orotate pure powder
€9.50 – €18.00
The renewed interest is largely due to its alleged ability to achieve higher serum and brain lithium ion (Li+) concentrations than those observed with equivalent doses of lithium carbonate, which was first reported in 1978.

A micro spoon is added to Lithium orotate (yellow) = 4/18 mg (approximately).
The product is not intended for human use. For laboratory use only.
Use
Over-the-counter lithium orotate is promoted as a health supplement for use as a low-dose source of lithium; however, very limited clinical evidence exists to support use. Noncontrolled studies have examined the use of low-dose lithium orotate in the treatment of alcoholism, migraines, and depression associated with bipolar disorder.
Dosing
Adequate clinical studies are lacking to support dosage recommendations.
Contraindications
Avoid use in patients with significant renal disease.
Pregnancy/Lactation
Avoid use. Information regarding use of the orotate salt form of lithium in pregnancy and lactation is lacking. Adverse effects have been observed with use of lithium carbonate or citrate. Lithium is excreted in breast milk; adverse events have been reported in breastfeeding infants.
Interactions
None well documented.
Adverse Reactions
Adverse effects have not been reported for low doses; however, at higher doses, adverse effects associated with lithium pharmaceutical preparations (lithium carbonate, lithium citrate) should be expected.
Toxicology
Information is limited. Nephrotoxicity is associated with high doses and long-term consumption of lithium. Short-term use of lithium orotate at low doses may not be associated with these toxicity concerns.
