In the early 1900s, people flocked to Lithia Springs in Georgia, a hot spring known for its lithium-enriched water. Hailed for its therapeutic properties as a mood booster, stress reliever, and aphrodisiac, the lithiated water was even bottled and sold. Today, as the spring is seeing a rebirth, so is the mineral seeing a rise in popularity as a nutritional supplement.

Lithium is a naturally occurring mineral found in rocks all over the Earth. It was one of the first elements present when the universe formed billions of years ago. Like two other alkali metals, sodium and potassium, lithium is a mineral electrolyte that every human body requires.

Today, people get trace amounts of lithium from food and water, but some people like to take nutritional supplements like lithium orotate to promote daily calm and clarity.

What Is Lithium Orotate?

A “salt” of the mineral lithium and orotic acid, lithium orotate is often sold as an over-the-counter nutritional supplement. For the body to use lithium, a transporter molecule must carry it. In lithium orotate, the transporter is orotic acid (sometimes called vitamin B-13), a substance that the body also produces naturally.

Lithium orotate offers superior bio-utilization, allowing the mineral to penetrate the intracellular structures of cells, including the mitochondria, glia, and lysosomes.

Lithium orotate is different because it is effective at boosting brain health in extremely small amounts.[1, 2] Connected to the small orotic acid molecule, lithium orotate can penetrate cell walls easily, making it highly bioavailable. Lithium orotate is non-toxic and low levels could be effective for 70 to 80 percent of people who try it.[3]
