When salts of lithium are ingested, the lithium ions interact with several neurotransmitters and recepters in the central nervous system, resulting in decreased norepinephrine release and increased seratonin 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.
Suggested Adult Use: 1 capsule twice per day with meals.
