Bottom line on dose of lithium for Alzheimer’s prophylaxis:

Lithium 1mg per day or 5mg once a week are no doubt enough to reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s.I believe lithium 5mg daily – or ~150mg once a week – is probably better.  [Lithium orotate 5mg, 20mg, 120mg, and 130mg pills are inexpensive on Amazon.]Lithium 150 mg per day is advisable for anyone with a [...]

NUTRACEUTICALS for depression 8/12/2019, Robert D. McMullen, MD

USING LOW DOSE LITHIUM TO PREVENT BOTH ALZHEIMER’S AND DEPRESSION.
