The wisepowder Lithium orotate is an Orotic acid and Lithium salt. It’s available as a monohydrate. Lithium is non-covalently bound to the orotate ion in this compound, not to carbonate or any other ion. Like most other salts, it dissociates in a solution and provides us free lithium ions in the solution. It is used as a dietary supplement. It was researched a little between 1973 and 1986 before it was marked a dietary supplement. It can be used to treat a few medical conditions, such as Alzheimer’s disease or alcoholism.

The compound is capable of producing free lithium ions in the body. Like any other lithium salts such as lithium carbonates, there are no proper reviews that support the efficiency of the lithium.

Side Effects & Safety

Due to the lack of research on this drug, there’s not much awareness of the side effects. Some pieces of evidence prove that there can be some mildly toxic effects of this drug on patients. For example, in the year 2007, a report was published in a journal that warns that overuse of this drug can cause tremors and nausea.

Final words

Lithium Orotate has always remained in question for both its effectiveness as well as safety. The drug has been very effective, curing a huge number of patients throughout the world. It helps people deal with their depression, anxiety, pain, and much more. The only problem, like any other depression or anxiety medicine like wisepowder L-Ergothioneine (EGT), is overuse. Patients are supposed to use it in the limit. But, they feel good after ingesting the medicine and hence start the overuse of the medicine. This results in dependence on the medicine and some other problems varying from drug to drug; in this case, it can be lithium toxicity. This drug can be very useful provided; it’s used in the limit.
