When you hear the word lithium, your mind might jump to psychiatric medications or perhaps even battery technology. Let’s spotlight the best hidden secret about lithium: as a trace element, it’s a naturally occurring mineral found in our soil, water, and even some foods and it may be essential for mental and emotional wellness in tiny amounts.

In recent years, a form called lithium orotate has gained popularity in the wellness world for its potential to support mood, stress management, and brain health, all without the high doses associated with prescription lithium carbonate.

So, what is lithium orotate, and why are people taking it as a supplement? Let’s dive into the science and explore its surprising benefits.

What Is Lithium as a Trace Element?

Lithium is a naturally occurring alkali metal that exists in trace amounts in the Earth’s crust, oceans, and mineral waters. While it’s not officially recognized as an essential nutrient like magnesium or zinc, growing research suggests it may play a supportive role in brain development, mood regulation, and longevity.

Studies have even found correlations between natural lithium levels in drinking water and lower rates of suicide, violence, and mood disorders. This has led researchers to explore whether microdoses of lithium might help support mental and emotional health, even in people without clinical psychiatric conditions.
