About Lithium Ascorbate
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.
