Lithium is a naturally occurring trace mineral found in several foods, with the primary sources including certain whole grains and vegetables.
Lithium is present in organs and systems throughout the body and may play an important biological role in humans and other animals. var popupWindow = null; function positionedPopup(url,winName,w,h,t,l,scroll){ settings = 'height='+h+',width='+w+',top='+t+',left='+l+',scrollbars='+scroll+',resizable' popupWindow = window.

Interactions with Dietary Supplements Essential fatty acids In one report, supplementation with essential fatty acids in the form of safflower oil (3–5 grams per day) reversed symptoms of lithium toxicity such as tremor and ataxia (an abnormality of gait).
Controlled studies are needed to confirm the benefit of a lithium-essential fatty acid combination. Folic acid Some studies have found that people taking lithium long term who have high blood levels of folic acid respond better to lithium. Not all studies have confirmed these findings, however.
A double-blind study was conducted combining 200 mcg folic acid per day with lithium therapy. Even though the volunteers in this study were doing well on lithium alone before the study, addition of folic acid further improved their condition, whereas placebo did not.
There is no evidence that folic acid reduces side effects of lithium. Based on the available evidence, it is suggested people taking lithium also take at least 200 mcg of folic acid per day. Inositol Lithium therapy has been shown to deplete brain stores of inositol.
While it has been suggested that inositol supplementation (e.g., 500 mg three times daily) could reduce adverse effects of lithium therapy without reducing the drug’s therapeutic effectiveness, the safety and efficacy of this combination has not been proven.
Treatment with lithium can trigger or worsen psoriasis. In a double-blind study, supplementing with inositol (6 grams per day) for ten weeks significantly improved lithium-induced psoriasis, but had no effect on psoriasis in people who were not taking lithium.
L-tryptophan A small double-blind study found that combining 2–4 grams three times per day of L-tryptophan with lithium significantly improved symptoms in people with bipolar disorder or a mild form of schizophrenia. L-tryptophan is only available from doctors.
It should be taken several hours before or after meals. Sodium Lithium may cause sodium depletion, especially during initial therapy until consistent blood levels are achieved. A low-sodium (salt-restricted) diet can decrease lithium elimination, leading to increased lithium levels and risk of toxicity in lithium users who reduce their salt intake.
