Lithium assists overall brain function and is commonly used to stabilize mood and treat bi-polar disorder. It is a vital micronutrient found in trace amounts in rocks, mineral springs, ocean water, and nearly all vertebrae tissue, having similar chemical properties similar to calcium and magnesium. It is required for life, yet cannot be made in the body; therefore we must consume it from the environment.

Kelly's Thoughts: As someone who has struggled with depression since a teenager, I'll tell you it works for me. I found out about the power of lithium from my naturopath. It's recommended to start at 5mg dose and work your way up to around 25 mg, or as needed. Doctors, such as Joel Wallach, believe the main cause of depression is a deficiency in lithium.
