Lithium Ascorbate

Next-gen lithium supports mood and brain functions

12 times less toxic than commonly used lithium carbonate, and the effective therapeutic dosage is 10 times lower [1].

Lithium

Lithium acts as a mood stabilizer, reducing anxiety and symptoms of depression [2]. It also prevents the development of acute stress by blocking adrenaline and noradrenaline. Additionally, it has a brain-boosting effect, enhancing concentration and improving memory.

Vitamin C

A natural antioxidant, it empowers lithium’s efficacy. It also contributes to synthesizing the "happy hormone" serotonin [3,4,5], affects mood and cognitive function [5,6,7], and protects the brain against oxidative stress [8].

Vitamin C

Forms an effective combo with lithium

A natural antioxidant, it empowers lithium’s efficacy. It also contributes to synthesizing neurotransmitters, affects mood and cognitive function[2], and protects the brain against oxidative stress[3].

Vitamin B6

Aids cognitive functions and synthesis of serotonin

It supports brain function and synthesizes neurotransmitters that regulate mood, such as serotonin, dopamine, and GABA [1], reducing anxiety and depression [2,3]

Vitamin B1

Improves memory, maintains energy

It is essential for brain function and synthesizing the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which is involved in memory and mood regulation [1, 2]. B1 helps to convert nutrients into energy [3], keeping your high performance level.

Lithium Ascorbate

Dicover how Lithium Ascorbate improves everyday life.

optimal daily dosage

Lithium is essential for our mental well-being. Our body requires 0.7 mg of lithium every day; without it, the risk of mental conditions increases. The pill offers 1 mg of safe and highly effective lithium, supporting mood and mental health.

Powerful Neuroprotective Effect

Lithium & ascorbic acid together create a combo nootropic effect, which boosts your cognitive abilities to maintain brain health.

Increases brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) by 9%. It is a neurotrophic agent  — a protein crucial for thinking, memory, neuroplasticity, and neuronal survival.  It promotes connections between neurons, boosting brain neuroplasticity and cognitive function.

Lithium elevates the levels of neurotrophic factors including Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), Nerve Growth Factor (NGF), and Glial cell line-derived Neurotrophic Factor (GDNF). Both are known to contribute to increased neuronal survival and neuroplasticity, enhancing the regenerative capacity and formation of new synaptic connections among dopaminergic, cholinergic, and serotonergic neurons within the central nervous system. 

Improves memory by lowering levels of anxiety, depression, and chronic stress. Improves visual memory by 83%, auditory-verbal memory by 98%, and muscle memory by 83%.

Reduces alcohol-induced neuron death by half. When the brain is exposed to prolonged alcohol toxicity, Lithium Ascorbate halves neuron death (18% vs. 36%) compared to without it.

Highly Effective Even in Low Doses

  • A new generation lithium salt combines two powerful active ingredients — lithium and vitamin C — in a single molecule
  • It is 12 times safer than lithium carbonate
  • It is 10 times more effective in low doses compared to lithium carbonate

Mood Stabilization

Lithium Ascorbate supplement increases the level of the "happiness hormone"

As the result, it decreases anxiety by 35% on the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS).

Works as an antidepressant, lowering the level of depression by 39% on Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) over 60 days.

blocking the stress hormones

Blocks secretion of stress hormones (adrenaline, norepinephrine, and cortisol), which prevents acute stress from becoming chronic.

By doing this, Lithium ascorbate allows for adequate and logical decisions to be made even under acute stress (the part of the brain that controls emotions happens to be the older part of the brain - it can send signals directly to the body, avoiding the frontal lobe, which controls logical thinking, creating the “fight or flight” response).
