Lithium Orotate Usage and Alzheimer’s

Great idea but i do not think it will be enough. As a frame of reference, a therapeutic dose for bipolar is 300-600mg. I will be taking 5.

But to your point there is a large European study looking at populations in areas where lithium is contained naturally in the water source. And they have much lower rates of Alzheimers. There used to be a place in Georgia - name of town was Lithium Springs. But most of the spring is dried up now and what there is seems privately owned. And they bottle it for sale by the quart as I recall - at a ridiculous price.

5mg might be safe, agreed it's a low dose.
I think I read, ,but can't find the reference now, 1 or 2 mg for a limit as the most suggested (by James Greenblatt MD?) before involving your doctor in the decision?
Any supplements should be reported to your doctor(s), of course.
If you are willing to report how things go, it would be interesting, hopefully no adverse effects at a low dose.

Best wishes
