Have MCI, sharing new intel re Lithium Orotate
Early Dementia & Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) | Last Active: 2 hours ago | Replies (131)Comment receiving replies
Anyone have suggestions about taking Lithium Orotate (aka LiO) with, during, or just after meals? A 1975 NIH study (PMID:1096537) says, "... Lithium should therefore preferably be administered after meals. ..." They found that helped the few subjects who had mild gastric discomfort taking LiO on an empty stomach, and aided absorption in some subjects and situations.
Has anyone here received specific instructions, or have related experiences to share?

As for timing of the dosage, there is a recent editorial by Tomas Hajek.
https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/the-british-journal-of-psychiatry/article/lithium-orotate-distinct-compound-or-simply-li-after-administration/52E4CFC3727F480DF94FBE4E93BFA7BD
He states that because the human stomach is much more acidic than a mouse stomach, LiO would be separated in the human stomach and so the special properties of LiO would not reach the brain, only the Lithium ion. It would be no different than taking LiC. He does say that taking it *after a meal* would probably let more LiO travel to the brain.
Of course, more experiments are needed.
