Lithium orotate is a compound of lithium and orotic acid, which is particularly popular in countries such as the USA due to its potential positive effects on mental well-being. In Germany, however, only lithium carbonate and lithium citrate are officially authorised as medicinal products and described in pharmacological works.
In the USA, lithium orotate is often used as a dietary supplement, whereas such products are not authorised in Germany. Lithium orotate is currently being investigated in low doses for its supportive effect in cases of psychological stress and for the treatment of cluster headaches, among other things. There are also studies investigating its use in connection with post-Covid symptoms and their cognitive consequences, as it is suspected that it could help against micro-inflammation in the nervous system. So far, however, the available data is not yet sufficiently reliable.
It is important to emphasise that lithium orotate is neither approved as a dietary supplement nor as a drug in Germany. It is sold exclusively for laboratory purposes.
