Lithium Orotate is a natural substance that consists of lithium (an alkali metal) and orotic acid, a transport carrier for lithium that may help increase its bioavailability. &#xA0;It is intended for those interested in supporting neurological health. Lithium orotate can be taken in small doses due to its high absorption rate, as opposed to the popular lithium carbonate which is required at much higher doses and can have adverse effects.&#x2020;<ul id="isPasted"><li style="font-size: 16px;">Supports feelings of calm and well-being</li><li style="font-size: 16px;">Natural mood support</li><li style="font-size: 16px;">Supports memory, brain, and neurological health </li><li><h4 id="isPasted">We all get upset sometimes. For some, it can be difficult to calm down after an outburst.</h4>Lithium has been used historically to support a positive mood and sense of calm during times of high stress, worry, and anger.&#x2020;Lithium Orotate&#xA0;provides a low serving of lithium (5 mg per capsule). This type of lithium is attached to the natural compound orotic acid for optimal bioavailability and efficient absorption.&#x2020;Lithium is a trace element found naturally in drinking water and food. Lithium orotate is a nutritional supplement form of lithium. It supports a healthy mood, memory, and neurotransmitter balance in the brain.&#x2020;The use of lithium dates back centuries. It has long been known to support feelings of calm, well-being, and joy. Lithium orotate is thought to work via its regulatory effect on the brain&#x2019;s excitatory pathways. Lithium orotate naturally supports feelings of calm by promoting GABA (a calming neurotransmitter) and slowing down glutamate (an excitatory neurotransmitter). It may also support the normal growth of grey matter in the brain.&#x2020;Unlike other lithium products used in the 600-900 mg range, Lithium orotate contains only 5 mg of this vital mineral naturally found in mineral water.Lithium Orotate supports healthy:&#x2020;<ul><li>Mood</li><li>Memory</li><li>Neurotransmitter balance</li><li>Cognitive and brain function</li><li>Emotional wellness</li><li>Neurological function</li><li>Lithium concentrations in the body </li></ul></li><li>Lithium Orotate by Seeking Health&#xAE;&#xFE0F; is vegan- and vegetarian-friendly.

There is some research done in petri dishes about lithium helping B12 transportation. According to Dr. Lynch, there seems to be more evidence that glutathione is needed to help bind B12 to transport proteins, than evidence of lithium.
According to one research paper (see screenshot below), &quot;A statistically highly significant direct association was observed between the hair lithium and cobalt concentrations, which suggests a role of lithium in the transport and distribution of vitamin B12.&quot; <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1381936" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1381936</a> <img alt="1139551667024455.KDseq5XgGGNiKKUyynnb_height640.png" src="https://hsfiles.gorgias.help/gm/help-centers/43568/attachments/b961a64a-8232-46c9-99a8-777152e85bba.png"> Another study stated that &quot;...we also investigated possible interaction and synergies between vitamin B12 and GSH and made the intriguing discovery that glutathione can prevent the formation and reaction of the Cbl(I) form of vitamin B12 with xenobiotics, such as those formed in the mammalian metabolism of the industrial chemicals styrene (1), chloroprene (2), and 1,3-butadiene.&quot;
From the same study, they state: &quot;Our findings also indicate that GSH in mammalian tissues, by virtue of its strong binding affinity for cob(III)alamin (33), generates GS-Cbl, which could act as a protective reservoir for vitamin B12 inhibiting alkylation by epoxides and alkyl halides (41). On the basis of studies of nitric oxide with GS-Cbl, a similar suggestion has been made (42). Because of the low physiological concentration of vitamin B12, it seems a reasonable proposal that there is some protective mechanism to prevent its depletion by endogenous reactants. While it has been suggested that GS-Cbl could prevent the reaction of OH-Cbl with protein cysteinyl groups (33), ours is the first demonstration of its protective effect against alkylation by mammalian xenobiotics. Our observations are therefore inconsistent with a previous report (32) suggesting that GS-Cbl is a precursor of the cobalamin coenzymes adenosyl- and methylcobalamin (15-19). The extrapolation of our results to the in vivo situation infers that exposures to chemicals that cause significant depletion of glutathione may ultimately cause a depletion of vitamin B12. In an extreme situation of severely depleted GSH caused by a chemical exposure, typical physiological levels of vitamin B12 may be insufficient to ensure survival of the vitamin.&quot; <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15606130" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15606130</a> Additional Citations and research: <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25809485" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25809485</a> <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24742678" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24742678</a> In summary, they key points here are:
<ul>
<li>It&apos;s complicated.</li>
<li>Lithium may help but glutathione is seems to be more important.</li>
<li>Using hydroxocobalamin seems more stable than methylcobalamin as it also helps reduce Reactive Oxygen Species.</li>
