Can anyone here clarify for me how much lithium orotate to take to obtain the recommended 1 mg of pure lithium? My confusion stems from the fact that every lithium supplement I can find in the U.S. is either 1 mg or 5 mg. of lithium orotate. The capsules I have say they are 1000 mcg (1 mg.) of lithium as lithium orotate. Does this mean the capsule actually contains 23 mg of lithium orotate, which is equivalent to 1 mg. of pure lithium? So I would take one of these daily to obtain the 1 mg of pure lithium for prevention of lithium-deficiency-related diseases? I don't know how to tell whether this capsule contains 1 mg. of pure lithium or 1 mg. of lithium orotate, which would require 23 capsules to get 1 mg of pure lithium.
Yes- it's confusing how the bottles of lithium orotate are labeled, but what's listed as 1mg is the actual 'elemental' or pure lithium which means that it's derived from approximately 26 mg of lithium orotate. So don't take 23 capsules!
Hi Dr. Nehls- no man can be a genius in all fields. I am re-reading your articles- lithium is sounding eerily similar to another "missing nutrient"...Methylene Blue. Its quinone-like abilities suggest other covid cures (ivermectin; artemisin)......any thoughts?
Very good information. Thank you Dr Nehls! Have watched a number of your excellent interviews and learn something each time. This article is an essential reference!
Interesting article, thanks. Lithium and Lithium Orate is sold w/o prescription. One company is https://www.lifeextension.com.

Would lithium orotate be useful for people with epilepsy?
Extremely interesting. Thanks. Lithium Orotate can be bought through a Swedish webshop: https://ecosupplements.dk/product/lithium-orotate-5mg-60-kapsler/
Thank you for the info! Do you have any thoughts on how lithium might affect Multi System Atrophy? My brother-in-law was recently diagnosed with this.
