The evidence in words
How much to take
Not established; supplement doses are far below therapeutic lithium.
Timing & separation
There are no strict timing conflicts on record for Lithium (Low-Dose); consistency matters more than the exact hour for most goals.
Why the dose is what it is
Lithium modulates neurotrophic and signaling pathways (GSK-3, BDNF); at trace doses the clinical relevance is unclear.
Bottom line
Interesting epidemiology, negligible trial evidence at supplement doses. Not a substitute for psychiatric care; the prescription drug is a separate, monitored medicine.
How it is used
As the entry records it, from the studies it summarises. Not a recommendation for you — doses that suit a trial population may not suit you.
