And in some instances, as in the case of manic depression, doses as high as 90 to 180 milligrams of elemental lithium from 900 to 1800 milligrams of lithium carbonate are necessary. Quantities of lithium in that range must be monitored closely to guard against overdose and toxicity. But you really don’t need large amounts to improve your “every-day” brain function. The amounts of lithium I recommend for brain anti-aging range from 10 to 20 milligrams (from lithium aspartate or lithium orotate) daily. The nutritional lithium orotate tablets/capsules usually contain 4.8 or 5 mgs of elemental lithium, and his experience is that 1-2 of these tablets, 2x a day is usually the best nutritional dose.
