Please be careful - "natural" does not mean safe! Lithium is lithium, and will get toxic at the wrong levels. LiOr may even be slower to leave the kidneys, which can be a problem.

Since there have been only a few studies of LiOr (3 according to most sources) and no double-blind studies, there are no dosage standards and very little known about side effects and toxicity. Most reports are anecdotal and therefore should be taken with a whole bag of rock salt. If you do try LiOr, please consult with your doctor and keep monitoring blood levels, just to be sure. It may well be worth a try, but with caution!

Here's a PC article about it: http://blogs.psychcentral.com/bipola...thium-orotate/

Given the obvious potential as an alternate to Li salts, you'd think there would have been more studies of it. The fact that there aren't does not bode all that well, in my opinion.
