Excellent interview of Dr.Bruce Yankner by Katie Couric on lithium- he said DON'T go out and buy OTC lithium rotate. There are dangers to kidneys and other organs from the sounds of it. Google him, and watch the interview before your start taking any form of lithium, especially high doses! Sounds very exciting though and should be human trials within a year at Mass Gen, he said!

The standard reply from researchers is always to wait for final results from phase 3 studies and officia FDA approval - they need to say those things from a liability concern.
There is an independent credible lab that tests supplements such as lithium orotate - ConsumerLabs. We have purchased one of their tested products to use.
The micro doses and just making sure you hydrate should address any concerns over kidney issues (assuming you don’t have advanced kidney disease).
Our perspective is that the disease is not waiting for FDA approval - thus we are willing to utilize evidence supported approaches such as TMS, 40 Hz light and sound, and lithium to try to slow progression. There are no magic bullets , but even if each treatment approach has only a minor effect, hopefully it will on a cumulative basis have a meaningful effect.

@theglobalnomad1 He is correct. From everything I have read and watched a high dosage will affect your renal system and possibly more.
.03 to 5 mg is the recommended low dosage and probably taking it every other day to start off.
