    Lithium 5mg microdose

    This combination of supplements has been clinically proven to optimise results through its synergistic effects.

    The Benefits of this combination

    May help with long-term brain health and neuroprotection and support mood. Early studies suggest that a microdose could mimic the benefits seen in population studies.

    Microdosing lithium (as lithium orotate) is being explored for mood, longevity, and brain resilience — without the side effects of high-dose lithium salts.

    Regions with naturally higher lithium in drinking water show lower rates of depression, suicide, and neurodegenerative disease.

    Lithium may acts as a 'mitohormetic' nutrient — nudging cells into protective repair pathways that help resist stress and extend cellular healthspan.

    The need to know

    What is it?

    Low-dose lithium has been associated with improved mental resilience, emotional balance, and neuroprotection. It supports long-term brain health by promoting nerve growth factors (like BDNF) and reducing inflammation.

    Unlike prescription lithium carbonate (used at 300–1200mg), microdosed lithium orotate offers benefits at 5mg or less — well below therapeutic dosing, with no requirement for blood monitoring or risk of side effects in healthy individuals.

    It’s being investigated for roles in:

    Mood support and emotional regulation

    Reducing age-related brain shrinkage

    Slowing the progression of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s models

    Supporting telomere maintenance and mitochondrial resilience.

    The Science

    Lithium is best known as a high-dose psychiatric medication, but at low doses (e.g., 1–5mg), it appears to offer a different profile of benefits — supporting neurological resilience, mood stability, and healthy aging pathways, with none of the toxicity or concerns seen at pharmacological levels.

    Lithium orotate is a form bound to orotic acid, allowing for better intracellular delivery at lower doses compared to lithium carbonate. It crosses the blood-brain barrier efficiently and is used in microdoses to engage neuroprotective mechanisms.

    At the cellular level, lithium:
    Inhibits GSK-3β, a key enzyme involved in inflammation, neurodegeneration, and tau aggregation

    Boosts BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor), supporting synaptic plasticity and cognitive resilience

    Promotes autophagy and mitochondrial repair via the mTOR/AMPK axis

    Stabilised mood through enhanced serotonin and dopamine reuptake sensitivity

    Emerging data also links low-dose lithium to:

    Reduced biological aging markers

    Slower progression of Alzheimer’s disease in animal models

    Longer lifespan in multiple species, including flies, worms, and rodents

    Importantly, doses under 10mg/day appear safe, with no known risk of lithium accumulation in healthy kidneys when used intermittently or cyclically.

    When to take it?

    Take 1 tablet a day morning or lunch, can be taken with or without food.

    What are the benefits?

    May help with long-term brain health and neuroprotection and support mood. Early studies suggest that a microdose could mimic the benefits seen in population studies.

    frequently asked questions

    FAQ

    Can I combine different packs?

    Yes. The simple way to combine packs is to just add them to your cart. If you are already a user make sure you are logged in and this will be checked against our current stack. We will show you were the duplicates are so you only add the ones you want.

    Can I add other supplements to the pack?

    Yes. Just add the pack and continue browsing. You can look at the other packs we have put together or view all of our supplements here.

    If I subscribe to a product can I cancel it?

    Yes. We make it easy to pause, change your subscription date or cancel. For some supplements it may take 1-2 weeks to feel the benefit. Check how you feel physically, mentally and after exercise. Sometimes we miss these subtle improvements.

    Are your products made in the UK?

    Yes all our supplements are made in the UK at GMP facilities.

    Are all your products third party tested?

    For simple supplements like vitamin D or B12 these are all tested in house by our manufacturers. For advanced longevity supplements like NMN we test these in an independent UK certified lab. We publish many of these certificates on our website.

    Can I remove some products from the pack?

    Yes of course. We are here to guide you to optimal combinations but the choice is yours.
