Lithium Orotate Usage and Alzheimer’s

soonersusan, great idea. Keep us posted. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11954165/

I am going to start taking low- dose Lithium. If you Google, " Life Extension articles on Lithium," you will find several interesting and informative articles. I am going to take 1000 mcg. One hundred caps for $12.00. I think I will take it every other day.

What kind of daily dose are you considering, and have you talked to a doctor about it? Just interested. Please keep us updated

I may have posted this before and if I have please forgive me. Relative to lithium, a highly regarded position, Dr Jonathan Wright, was touting the benefits of lithium many years ago. He was so convinced based on his studies that he took it and had his family members take it. One of the forms was lithium orotate. My suggestion is to research his articles and reasoning and I think then most people who are concerned about Alzheimer's and Dementia will make the decision to take it.

I've been taking a 5 mg ill of lithium orotate once a day for a few weeks. I decided to do so after finding that there were possible benefits and not finding any possible downsides. Avoiding or delaying Alzheimer's is very important to me. I have seen how it can negatively change a person,

Any issues

I've been taking 5mg/day of lithium orotate (Swansons) for a few years now.
Started after discovering the European longitudinal study that showed lower levels of degenerative brain disease correlated to higher levels of lithium in drinking water.
Lately there have been more positive results and suggestions of a possible mechanism.
No issues.
Theraputic doses of lithium for depression are a hundred or more times higher.
Life Extension has a 1 mg product if anyone is concerned about 5mg dose.

I have had my head in studies for months. I have MCI and a profound family history of AD- so I am compelled to pursue this nutritional supplement therapy. It .

I did buy the 1mg capsules and after I complete weaning off my sertraline, I plan to start at 3mg and work up to 5.

And the profile of citizenry in locales that have naturally occurring Lithium was a big issue influence on my decision.

Do you have any noticeable positive effects?

Since I can't be my own control subject, I can't really say.
At least I haven't experienced any noticeable deterioration in my capacities (I'm nearly 77).
It's inexpensive, so even if it helps just a little it's an affordable educated bet.
At these low dosages, there's little chance of detrimental effects.
If I don't end up like my mom by the end of the road, I'll guess I've made some right choices.

Perhaps lithium can be obtained from healthy foods? Such as a Mediterranean or other diet with legumes, plants, whole grains, fruits? The good nutrition thought to help avoid dementia, as well as providing a bit of lithium?

Reference- search on dementia prevention, nutrition, and either Mayo Clinic or Harvard Nutrition Source.
