Isn’t lithium already used to treat bipolar disorder? I don’t know that it’s this lithium orotate they are talking about, but it feels like it would be good data to check rates of Alzheimer’s on people using lithium as treatment for bipolar disorder.

Lithium orotate is a supplement, no longer one of the forms of lithium used for bipolar disorder. I had a relative who took lithium orotate daily and still developed Alzheimer’s.
