- The orotate form of lithium is thought to be more easily absorbed in your body compared to other lithium salts
At high doses (900,000 micrograms (mcg)/day or more for an adult), lithium has been used as a pharmaceutical agent to treat manic depression, conduct disorders, self-abusive behaviors, and aggressive behaviors. It has been suggested that lithium, at low-dosage levels, has a generally beneficial effect on human behavior. In addition, lithium is required to induce a neurotrophic factor in the brain that protects against excitotoxins such as glutamate and has been shown in one study to stimulate the division of brain stem cells.
Hair lithium has been shown to be a good indicator of dietary lithium intake. Because a major source of dietary lithium can come from municipal water supplies, the increase in drinking purified water may be a cause of deficiency. Some symptoms of lithium deficiency can include ADD, depression, aggression, infertility, mood swings, and reduced growth rate.
