Supplemental Lithium Imaging, Peripheral Inflammation and Mitochondrial Function (SLIPI-M) study

About the study

It is unclear whether dietary lithium supplementation results in detectable levels of lithium in the brain, or has a noticeable effect on biological systems.

What does the study involve?

Building on previous research conducted by Team Lithium, this study will measure the effects of 28 days of dietary supplementation with lithium orotate, on peripheral biomarkers of inflammation and mitochondrial function. In a subset of volunteers, the relationship between these measures and MRI estimates of brain lithium concentration will be explored. This study project will provide insight into whether dietary lithium supplementation has effects on biological systems that could influence mental health.
