Is this really a 5 mg Lithium Orotate if I'm going to compare to other products? For instance, Ortho Molecular sells a 10 mg Lithium Orotate

Looking at their label, it says Lithium (As Lithium Orotate) 10mg. The product we sell from NCI, says Lithium (As Lithium Orotate) 120mg. If the other brand says "Elemental Lithium (From Lithium Orotate), that would be a different comparison. It appears that Ortho Molecular is selling the same ingredient, but with only 10mg vs 120mg.

Upon further research, this dose yields about 5mg elemental lithium. If another brand sells 10mg, the tablet or capsule is simply larger.

I am not familiar with other products. I believe the tablets has 5 mg Lithium. I did not test myself confirm it.

If it says Lithium (As Lithium Orotate), then you should be comparing "apples to apples."

Not my Product, but looking at the label, I read it as A 5000iu, C 60mg, D 400iu, E 30iuhope this helps. Graham Taylor

I contacted Thorne about this exact thing. they reduced the capsule size to reduce the bottle size. it is still 5mg.

It is lithium salts - the bulk of the 120 mg is salt, I guess. The amt of elemental lithium in each tab is 4.6mg. This seemed to work better than the one I tried that had 5 mg in each cap.

They are 6mg, BUT I WOULD NOT SUGGEST BUYING THEM. They are not nearly as effective as other brands. I contacted their 1-800 number and complained about the lack of effectiveness and THEY DID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT IT !

Dr. John Gray explains it well. He has a video on youtube called "Lithium Orotate improves your mood and your life".This is Lithium Orotate. The stuff that is prescribed is Lithium Carbonate. All the best to you!

Hello Northwoods Nut...Your assumption is absolutely correct. B12 5000 is 5,000 micro-grams or 5MG. The less expensive product, B12 is 1,000 micro-grams or 1MG. I just called Pure Encapsulations and verified that information with them. I opted for the B12 5000 at my doctors recommendation because my B12 levels were painfully low. All the best to you!

I called them up and the actual amount of Magnesium per dose is 100mg which is 25% of one's daily needs but you may be getting magnesium from other sources and one's needs can be variable. The bigger point is that this product is far more absorb-able that non ionic forms so per dose you are getting much more. I take the 2.5 ml per day and I am getting good results both mentally and physically.

The ingredients list/label is shown on the bigger bottle here on Amazon.com (the 180 count, I think). I recently compared it to another product, ingredient to ingredient, this other one being one that has almost 500 five-star reviews and reportedly lots of vet recommendations, and OsteoPet was better, ingredient for ingredient, than this competitor. My boy pup is still doing great with these supplements, and on days he's really active (like chasing squirrels at 12, wow!), then he gets a pain-free aspirin substitute, too. Also here on Amazon. His sister gets Osteo and Zeel, doing great, too. I've rambled. Oops. LOVE THIS PRODUCT!!! The ingredients list/label is shown on the bigger bottle here on Amazon.com (the 180 count, I think).

The regular I think is 450? I know Rogiscal has about 450 as well, so the extra 25mg is professional I guess.

Tim, you may have to look elsewhere online for that info. I will say though, as a vitamin expert this is one of the finest mineral products I have ever used. Still using it. What makes it different is NOT the label, its the QUALITY which imho is superior to other brands.

it has the lithium in it of course. And it has orotate. Which from what I understand is what helps get the lithium circulating in your system. Or something like that. Its a great product. If you want to be level headed and mellow and more intelligent this is a great product. The lithium acts as a neuro connector to your neurons is what I've read.

Amazon has a bad habit of combining comments and questions for several forms of a product. I found the tablets too large to swallow. I switched to a long tablet of calcium, and magnesium separately. Sundown Naturals 600 mg calcium plus vitamin D (that's 600 mg calcium PER TABLET) and Sundown Naturals Magnesium 250 mg make a good combination for me, and both are available on Amazon. They also make a 500 mg Magnesium which I just ordered; I haven't opened it yet, but it's clear that they are larger than the 250mg, but not too large.

I recently ordered Aprodine (not from Amazon) it has the 60mg and 2.5mg strengths.

I'm trying to think of something to compare it to. They are much smaller than an Advil Liquigel. They are pretty small, in my opinion. Smaller than all my other supplements.

No, its not, but I think that this is better. Orotic acid is bound to the Magnesium to enhance absorption, but all the tests done, do not prove this to be true. I hope this helps, if not, go to ConsumerLab.com and read it for yourself.

Hello Carrie, the mg is 5. They seem to work faster than pill form. I found after a couple of doses I suffered from severe headaches. I only take melatonin when I cannot sleep once or twice a month so did not use habitually.
