Dr. Hans Nieper Lithium Orotate 5mg, 200 Count, Lab Tested, Non-GMO, Gluten Free, Vegan Friendly, Supports Brain Health

Okay, this pill is not a wonder drug by any means but it does its job effectively. I have been diagnosed with Cyclothymic Disorder (kind of like bi-polar, just not as severe). In the past I have taken Zoloft, Paxil, Paxil CR, Tegretol, Depakote, Risperdal, Zyorexa, Topomax, Prozac, and Symbyax. All of these drugs worked for a period of time, but they either lost their effectiveness, or the side effects were too much. The best, in my opinion was Symbyax, but of course it had the worse side effects in weight gain, sleepiness, lack of motivation, and a sense of being lost at times. So I decided to stop using any of these drugs, and searched for something OTC or natural to help calm my CD. That's when I found Lithium Orotate. I was very skeptical of trying this, because some people with mental disorders will exaggerate the effectiveness of a drug, and be victim to the placebo effect. Which in my opinion is fine if it helps ease the symptoms of their disorder, but I digress. So, I honestly went in with an almost negative mindset, thinking to myself this would not work, and I would have to go back to my doctor for another prescription trial and error. I could not have been more wrong. This drug hasn't changed my life by any means, but it has made my life a lot easier. Lithium Orotate honestly just takes that edge off of everything. I still have the ability to get upset, angry, pessimistic, overly confident, somewhat manic, etc. but it is a more controlled version of my feelings and mental state. It almost feels like I am normal person, if that makes any sense. For example lets use a 1-10 system to classifying feelings where 1 is no care at all in anything, and 10 being to the point of caring beyond the limits of a normal human. Instead of going all the way to a 10 when I was off medication, or all the way to a 1 when I was on medication, I stay around a 5, sometimes peaking at a 7 and sometimes dropping to a 3. I feel as though I am experiencing emotions the way I feel like normal people should. I typically just take 2 a day, usually at night after I eat, about 1-2 hours before bed. It does not effect my sleep in a positive or negative way. I have not tried taking this in the morning, just because I have always been hesitant of taking any possible mood altering drug before I begin my day. I have two negative side effects. The first is I have noticed is some days I wake up with a nausea, and once every couple weeks I have experienced slight vomiting. I can not for certain say its because of the Lithium Orotate, because I have experienced this in the past, but it seems since taking this it has increased. The second thing I have noticed is I experience some occasional diarrhea, which I can only chalk up to the Lithium Orotate. Regardless of these side effects, I think they are manageable in comparison to the side effects I have received due to prescriptions. Overall this medication is great for me. I feel confident in its effects to combat Cyclothymia, but I do question it's effectiveness against stronger mental disorders. This is really dependent on the person. I hope this honest review helps others to try this to help even them out. *UPDATE* I have been on this for nearly 2 months now, and the nausea and diarrhea have subsided. After reading up on LO, these side effects are common, and they usually disappear after continuous use. I have also noticed that 2 tablets a day do not do the trick anymore, so I have increased my dosage to 2 pills in the evening, and 2 pills in the morning. I have noticed that this dose works perfectly for me, with no side effects. My only concern is will I have to up my dose again in 2 months. But that is always a concern when taking a mood altering drug. It takes time to figure out dosage. I am currently at 18.4 mg of Elemental Lithium a day, which is still in the safe zone. Most doctors believe that anything under 30-40 mg per day is safe, so I would not recommend going over that. I have noticed a slight increase in weight, roughly a 2% increase, which is negligible. I will continue to monitor this and see if it continues.

A Little Lift for Brighter Days Life throws curveballs. Some days you feel on top of the world, and others... well, let's just say the world feels a little heavy. I've always been interested in exploring natural ways to support my overall well-being, especially when it comes to mood and cognitive function. I'd read a bit about Lithium Orotate and its potential benefits at lower doses compared to prescription forms, and after doing some research, I decided to try the Dr. Hans Nieper tablets. It's been a subtle but noticeable positive addition to my routine. I wasn't looking for a dramatic personality change or a sudden burst of artificial happiness. What I hoped for was a gentle leveling out, a little extra support for navigating the ups and downs. And that's exactly what I feel these tablets provide. It's not an overnight transformation, but over time, I've noticed a greater sense of calm and resilience. The small stressors of daily life seem less overwhelming, and I feel a bit more even-keeled. Beyond mood, I also feel like there's been a subtle positive impact on my focus and mental clarity. It's like the static has been turned down just a notch, making it easier to concentrate and stay on task. It's not a stimulant effect, but more of a quiet support for cognitive function. The tablets themselves are small and easy to take, and the dosage is manageable at 120 mg. Knowing that Dr. Hans Nieper's name is associated with this form of lithium also adds a layer of confidence for me. This isn't a substitute for professional medical advice or treatment, and it's always important to do your own research and consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new supplement. But for me, personally, incorporating this Lithium Orotate into my daily regimen has felt like adding a gentle support system for my mood and mental clarity. It's a little lift that contributes to brighter, more manageable days. If you're exploring options for supporting your emotional and cognitive well-being in a gentle way, and you've done your research, these tablets might be worth considering. For me, they've been a valuable piece of the puzzle.

I have taken about 40 mg per day of this brand for 9 years. Outstanding. Keeps me out of depression. No small feat, especially considering the last six. And 2025 was a doozy. I appreciate you!!!!!!

I bought this two years ago. I bought these pills and also a liquid form of lithium at the same time. Then for some reason just put them aside and forgot them. Then recently I heard that lithium might help with insomnia. I have very stable moods. I almost never get angry or sad. But I have terrible insomnia. I've been to the doctor about it many, many times including a sleep specialist with no help whatever. The only thing I found which helped me sleep was to eat A LOT at dinner time and ALSO eat at bedtime. And, if I failed to to do those things I would wake after a couple of hours and remain awake for the rest of the night often getting no more than 2 hours of sleep at night. You can gain a lot of weight eating in the night after waking. I gained over 70 pounds in just a few months. Eating in the night after waking is guaranteed to put on 1 to 3 pounds a day for me. (Yes I do mean a day.) It is not water weight. It does not just go away later. And for reasons I do not understand eating the exact same thing at bedtime does not have the same weight gaining effect. I have tested this many times. I am quite sure that is true. Very strange. In recent times I have tried to compensate for the need to eat at bedtime by not starting to eat until noon or even 5:00 pm. I have found that if I start eating like this (which amounts to intermittent fasting), I can eat at bedtime and still lose weight. Of course my diabetic counselor objects to this. But I have to follow what my body can do. A further insomnia complication is that I seem to have "going to sleep times" when I can fall asleep. If I hit the right time I will fall asleep effortlessly, within seconds. If I miss the sleep time (about 9:30-10:00 pm) I am awake until the next one in the middle of the night almost without regard to what sleep aids I might take. My Dad had the same waking in the night problem. So it is inherited. He used to routinely take a snack with him to bed, a banana or a sandwich. And the last few days of his life he was not able to sleep at all. I'm sure that contributed to his heart stopping. Bipolar problems run in my family. Neither I, my Dad or my sister got that. But an aunt and cousins did. It makes me think that my insomnia might be somehow related. That was why my ears perked up when I heard insomnia improvement linked to lithium. (I no longer remember where.) So I tried it. The first night I took a whole tablet. I slept the whole night very, very soundly. It felt like a miracle. Then I tried 5 drops of the liquid. The sleep was sound. I skipped it one night and woke in the night as usual. I took the pill upon waking in the night. It had no effect on my sleep. From that I conclude it is not initiating sleep. My preliminary conclusions are that: A. I still must go to bed at the (for me) normal bedtime. Lithium addresses the waking in the night problem but not the falling asleep problem. B. I can starve myself to lose weight as long as I don't go to bed hungry. Whatever I do eat, I have to eat within a short time before bed. C. Not mentioned above, whatever I eat has to be either protein or carbs. Eating fat will not help me sleep. I can eat as much butter and peanut butter as I like without improving my sleep at all.

This product has the "feel" of bipharma lithium(Lithium Carbonate) without the need for blood toxicity tests, and hazerdous possible health side effects; as Lithium Orate(in this product) is better tolerated by the body and you need a lower dose to have effective mood stabilization results. I used to mod a mental health forum where folks with bipolar and mood disorders came feeling desperate for stability. I would link this to them, those who have no insurance and suffer drastic highs/lows or both(when they mentioned their diagnosis). Remember being properly diagnosed maters, anyway.. Lithium, as of 2017 is still the gold standard in bipolar remission(symptoms being dormant). It is even now recomended for women with bipolar to find low dose- safe meds, that don't pose a risk due to dosing, to baby.. To continue treatment once past 12wks with the supervision of the doctor(one extra sono and they'd do a couple blood tests that's it) because bipolar is thought to be more dangerous to mom and baby, then low dose safely monitored meds. I'd even talked to high risk Obs about the research and know of kids who were born without any problems following said protocol. The point is, this stuff can help keep you well, in many walks of life. There's even research stating that Lithium is a brain deaging agent(meaning it helps minimalize side effects of other things on the brain\can be a preventative measure for this who have a high genetic risk of Alzheimer's and that cities with higher levels of lithium in their water have a lower rate of sucide with rare exception. So generally speaking, Lithium is a god send to many, and those I know of with type 1 bipolar or type 2, though they are different Lithium helps either be more stable. This isn't to say medication is the only element of successful treatment, making sure there are no vitamin defficencies/ no excessive caffine/sugar intake/getting enough sleep/trying to eat healthy/self care all those other things can help as well and should be a part of it, as bipolar folks have "common triggers" that involve certain foods(can cause quick highs and lows)/caffine(can cause depression or psychosis in those prone if not moderated) and lifestyle elements(like not enough sleep) can be felt more keenly by those with bipolar but the right meds for the chemical imabalance make a world of a difference even before all that. The only reason I gave this 4 instead of 5 stars is, like big pharma this type of Lithium orate-you can "feel" when you need your next dose so I often recomend to folks they start with this kind for 2-3mths(natural forms of things take longer to get in the system fully) then switch to "Vitamin Research " brand Lithium Orate for continuation so you don't have to feel that "I need my next dose cause my symptoms are creeping up" before the dose, feeling.

UPDATE 21/june/14: Seems that the price of this most wonderful product just keeps going up & up! And some sellers will even charge 2 shipping prices for one shipment...hint..hint. So I recommend the following.... Lithium Orotate 200 Tablets *130mg per Tablet* Providing 5mg Elemental Lithium .-.-.-. A few years ago I began to suffer with panic attacks. I didn't know it was "common"..no, no I thought I was being tested for a whole new thing..¿lol? I HATE chemical medications so I sought NATURAL help. Was directed in so many different directions that I lost count! THEN ONE DAY while I was some searching on-line I saw something about this disorder...which IS NOT A MENTAL DISEASE...being treated with lithium. But that, as well was a chemical. I typed in "Natural Lithium" and read about this product. Checked AMAZON & here it is! I began to notice a difference...BIG DIFFERENCE...the very first day! Soon NO panic attacks!!!!! Oh, I feel a little over stress under certain situations and sometimes I will feel a bit of that old feeling but this Lithium Orotate helps to keep the "scary moments" at bay. I started out taking 3 p/day. (I am told we can take as many as 6 per day.) I now take 2p/day. OKAY, if it worked for me, would it work for my son? He has a form of epilepsy where the seizure is a burst of SERIOUS ANGER...(a big part of the panic I was going through). YES IT WORKS for him/that as well!!!!! I MAKE SURE he takes 3 p/day..another if called for. Yes, he too has noticed a difference in himself. He will NOT leave home without it! Believe me when I say: I THANK GOD FOR THIS NATURAL PRODUCT!!!!! I have directed many, many people here to AMAZON to purchase & sadly the prices just keeps going up!!! Seriously....research all the benefits on Google search..you will be amazingly surprised at all that Lithium Orotate can/will help with and then RUN back here to purchase! [...] Will I purchase again? WITHOUT FAIL ... from sellers that are helpful w/price of the product & shipping!!!

I originally gave this five stars but my opinion has since changed. This could definitely work for some people and this is just my experience/opinion. I liked it at first because I have horrible anxiety and I was very nervous about the start of a new semester in college. To make a long story short, I was obsessing over seeing a girl who I had a terrible group project experience with in which we had to sit down and have a mediation with our professor. I did not know if she would be in any of my classes but since we are in the same major, you tend to see the same people. Anyway, I had not received this supplement until the second week of school but she was not in any of my classes anyway(this does have a point, just stay with me here). I was excited to try this because I battle anxiety on a daily basis (so she was not the only reason I was nervous, it was just something that added to my anxiety) and have been looking for something to replace prescription medication. I had been on it for about a week and a half and then BOOM I went to one of my classes and realized I was sitting right across from her (it was a class of about 15 people). I was really shocked because she wasnt there the first two weeks of class but oddly I barely felt anything. I am positive that this was due to the lithium oratate. If I would have seen her the first week I think I would have walked out of class. So basically I think it helped a lot with the obsessive thoughts and nervousness that was such a huge part of my everyday life. However, it finally clicked in my head that I had been way more moody and quick to anger than usual. I don't want to say I felt more depressed than usual because I was not crying more or feeling sad I just wasn't happy. I'm a quiet person but I was being much more standoffish than usual and I was cold to friends and family when I really didn't want to be. In my head I would feel bad but it was like I couldn't control it. I just couldn't make myself be friendly because I was so over-the-top irritable. About two weeks ago I finally realized that this supplement may have been the culprit. Lithium is mostly used for manic episode (I think) for bipolar disorder so I think it was suppressing my ability to feel happy and conversational. I stopped taking it and it was either the next day or the one after that that I was overly giddy and silly while playing a board game with my friends. This was definitely more like how I normally am with them but it was more extreme than usual. After those first few days I went back to a normal level of happiness: I can have conversations with my mom again without being annoyed and angry like I had been for so long. I will never take this stuff on a regular basis but seeing as how it did help with some of my anxiety issues I may see how it works on an "as needed" basis like the prescription medication. It's definitely not as bad as the anger, tiredness, and irritability I feel after that stuff wears off so I'm hoping it can work for me in that way. I don't want to try this theory out for awhile though because I've been feeling so much better without it right now. For anyone else looking for something to help with anxiety and depression problems, I recently got magnesium, vitamin D3, and choline and inositol supplements off amazon. I just started them but if you look into them, they are supposed to have some helpful effects. so far I think it is helping.

I have been buying this brand of Lithium Orotate for at least four years. They dissolve very easily. Sometimes, they start to dissolve in my mouth before I get them swallowed if I don't wash them down right away. I'm not sure it that's the way it's supposed to be taken, by dissolving in the mouth, but sometimes I do it that way on purpose. Most of the time I just swallow them. They don't seem to have a strong taste. I have not taken it continuously, mainly because sometimes I run out and am not able to buy it again right then, even though the cost is very reasonable in my opinion. I don't remember where I read the recommended amount, since it was so long ago, but at the time I figured out that by weight I should be taking 8 of the small tablets daily, due to extreme obesity. So, that's the amount I usually take unless I am close to running out. The main things I take it to help me with is my heart and anxiety. It does seem to do a good job with that. I don't have the feeling like I'm getting ready to have a heart attack when taking it, at least not like without, especially once I've gotten several doses in my system. The anxiety also seems much better. I'm not sure if the feeling that my heart is doing better is what helps the anxiety or if it's the anxiety doing better that helps me not to feel like an impending or early heart attack. Since it's supposed to be good for both, I don't guess it matters which it is. Of course, when I have them, I will also take other supplements for my heart, like Vitamin E, Vitamin A & D3, magnesium, etc. The Lithium Orotate helps me feel even better than just when I'm taking the other supplements. I would recommend them to anyone, whether you have these problems or not. I consider it good for your general health.
