Message: | The lithium salt of orotic acid (lithium orotate) improves the specific effects of lithium many-fold by increasing
lithium bio-utilization. The orotates transport the lithium to the membranes of mitochondria, lysosomes and the
glia cells. Lithium orotate stabilizes the lysosomal membranes and prevents the enzyme reactions that are responsible
for the sodium depletion and dehydration effects of other lithium salts.
Because of the superior bioavailability of lithium orotate, the therapeutic dosage is much less than prescription forms
of lithium. For example, in cases of severe depression, the therapeutic dosage of lithium orotate is 150 mg/day. This
is compared to 900-1800 mg of the prescription forms. In this dosage range of lithium orotate, there are no adverse
lithium side reactions and no need for monitoring blood serum measurements. url:http://www.fzbiotech.com |
