Description
With this Lithium orotate powder you get Lithium orotate as loose powder. Each batch is tested by LC-MS to 99% purity or higher. It’s $29.99. It’s sold for laboratory research only.
It’s also available as Lithium orotate capsules and Lithium orotate liquid. See all nootropic powders for more options in this format.
What is Lithium orotate?
Lithium orotate is lithium bound to orotic acid. It’s sold as a supplement in the US at doses far below prescription lithium carbonate.
It’s studied in mood and neuroprotection research.

Research on Lithium orotate
Pacholko and Bekar reported that lithium orotate worked at lower doses than lithium carbonate in a mouse model of mania, with fewer kidney and thyroid effects.
Human data on the orotate salt are limited.

Tips for measuring Lithium orotate powder
Buying Lithium orotate as a powder gives you full control. Weigh out exactly what your protocol calls for, make up your own solutions, or encapsulate it yourself.
For small amounts you’ll want a scale that reads to at least 0.01g, and ideally 0.001g. Our digital scale and micro scoops make it easier to get consistent measurements. Weigh onto clean weighing paper, and close the bag or jar straight after so the powder doesn’t pick up moisture.
Making a solution from Lithium orotate powder
To make a stock solution, decide on the final volume and concentration first. For 30mL at 10mg/mL you’d weigh 300mg of Lithium orotate, dissolve it in about 25mL of solvent, then top up to exactly 30mL.
Check the compound’s solubility in your chosen solvent before you start, and try a small test amount first. Store the finished solution in a labelled glass bottle.
Purity testing for Lithium orotate
We test each batch of Lithium orotate by LC-MS, which pairs liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry. The chromatography splits the sample into its components and the mass spectrometer identifies them, which tells you both identity and purity. This batch came in at 99% or higher.
Small differences between batches are normal, so write the batch number from the label into your records. If something looks wrong when your order arrives, like discoloured powder or a cloudy solution, set it aside and don’t use it.
Storing your Lithium orotate
Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use a clean, dry scoop each time, and reseal the container straight away. Label anything you decant with the compound, amount and date, and keep it out of reach of children and pets.
Common questions about the Lithium orotate powder
What can I dissolve Lithium orotate powder in?
That depends on the compound’s solubility and your protocol. Check the solubility data for your solvent first, and test a small amount before making up a full batch.
What scale do I need?
One that reads to 0.01g at minimum, and 0.001g for very small amounts. Our pocket scale reads to 0.01g.
