Share your experiences with Lithium Orotate

A new study published in Nature reports that brains of people with Alzheimer’s disease or mild cognitive impairment had significantly lower lithium levels, and in mouse models a low dose of lithium orotate reversed cognitive decline. (Nature)

In my blog post on “A Simple Mineral Could Stop Alzheimer’s” I reviewed that research and noted that while human trials remain ahead, the doses used in animals were far below levels known to cause lithium toxicity in humans.

Because many people at risk of Alzheimer’s, or caring for loved ones, are already considering or using low-dose lithium orotate, this page invites you to share your real-world experience. The goal isn’t medical advice—it’s to build a community-sourced repository of observations: what worked, what didn’t, dose, timing, side-effects. Over time this may help doctors, researchers and everyday users better understand how people are using this supplement.

How you can contribute

If you’re using lithium orotate (or have stopped) and are willing to share, please post your story below. To make it useful for others, you might include:

• Why you tried it (e.g., “I have a parent with Alzheimer’s”, “I noticed mild memory changes”, etc.)

• What dose and form you used, how often and how long.

• What you noticed: any changes (positive, none, negative).

• Any side-effects.

• Any other relevant context: age group, other supplements/medications, lab tests (kidney, thyroid) if you have them.

• If you stopped: why, and what changed afterwards.

You may remain anonymous (use initials or a nickname) or identify yourself as you prefer. Your comment will appear on this page for others to read.

What we hope to achieve

By gathering multiple experiences, we aim to:

• See patterns: common doses, durations, side-effects, outcomes.

• Help users decide what to ask their doctors about.

• Create a dataset that could be of interest to researchers (though not a substitute for formal clinical trials).

• Give hope and more informed context while the formal human trials catch up.

Important warnings

• The Nature paper is promising—but it is not proof that lithium orotate prevents or treats Alzheimer’s in humans. (PBS)

• Supplements are not regulated like prescription medications. Quality and dosing may vary.

• Lithium—even at low doses—can affect kidney, thyroid, heart function. Do not use it without discussing with your doctor, especially if you have existing health conditions or take other medications.

• This page is for sharing experiences, not for medical advice. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider.
