Modern neuroscience research is increasingly focused on finding effective ways to protect and restore brain function. And one promising area of study of our experts is the impact of lithium ascorbate.

The Normotim team conducted a series of studies to investigate the effects of lithium ascorbate on neuroplasticity and neuroprotection in the human brain. What did we find? Our results showed that this compound has remarkable potential for improving brain function and protecting neurons from various types of damage. Let’s take a closer look at the findings.

 

Neuroprotection Against Toxic Damage

One of the key aspects our team studied was the ability of lithium ascorbate to protect brain neurons from toxic damage. In one experiment, we analyzed the impact of glutamate on brain neurons. But let’s start from the beginning.

What is glutamate? In the brain, glutamate acts as a neurotransmitter, an invisible signal for transmitting nerve impulses from one neuron to another. While it’s an important neurotransmitter, high concentrations can become neurotoxic and cause neuron death. This is especially dangerous in cases of traumatic brain injuries and strokes, where damaged neurons release glutamate into the extracellular space, expanding the area of damage. In other words, any negative physical impact on the skull increases glutamate levels in the brain, which is harmful.

However, our research results showed that the presence of lithium doubles neuron survival rates. This raises the question: how can we ensure the body has enough lithium? The answer is to add Normotim’s lithium ascorbate into your diet. Maintaining sufficient lithium levels in the body helps control the negative impact of glutamate, even in severe brain injuries like strokes.

 

Impact on the Myelin Sheath

The myelin sheath, which covers neuron axons, plays a critical role in transmitting electrical signals between neurons. Damage to this sheath can significantly impair cognitive functions and the efficiency of neural connections, leading to a gradual breakdown of the nervous system’s functionality, affecting both physical and emotional well-being.

In our study of neural connections, we examined the effects of lithium ascorbate on the brain neurons of rats exposed to alcohol. In the group that consumed only alcohol, there were 36% irreversible neuron damages. However, in the group where rats were additionally given lithium ascorbate, the damage level decreased to 18%, with a significant portion of these damages being reversible. No magic needed; just the scientifically proven benefits of lithium in the body.

 

Increase in BDNF Levels and Neuroplasticity

One of the most outstanding discoveries made by our team is the ability of lithium ascorbate to increase levels of Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF). It plays the main role in the growth and development of neurons, as well as in enhancing cognitive functions and memory.

Simply put, BDNF is a protein that helps our brain cells (neurons) grow and survive. It is essential for learning, memory, and overall brain health. High levels of BDNF lead to better brain function, while low levels are associated with depression and other issues. BDNF helps the brain recover from stress and injuries, improving our ability to learn and remember.

Increasing the level of this protein promotes the branching of axons and dendrites, which boosts the number of connections between neurons in our brain. This enhances the brain’s neuroplasticity.

The main conclusion from our research is that maintaining sufficient lithium levels in the body supports neuroprotection, improving neuroplasticity, and consequently preserves and improves brain functions. The most effective and safe way to supply the body with lithium is through Normotim’s lithium ascorbate, which contains ascorbic acid, and vitamins B1 and B6.
