Lithium aspartate is the aspartic acid salt of lithium, and is available as an over the counter supplement as opposed to lithium carbonate, available only on prescription. Aspartic acid is an amino acid, and helps to distribute the Lithium Li+ ion throughout the body to where it is needed. Lithium Aspartate is widely used as a natural remedy for hyperthyroidism and other conditions of the thyroid gland, and is used to help the spread of iodine evenly throughout the body.
Lithium aspartate also helps to improve brain function by increasing the level of secretion of the neurotransmitter serotonin, and so not only helps to improve mood, but also promotes the growth of new brain cells. This enables patients to improve their memory and reduce feelings of anger and rage and is also known to be an effective treatment for Bipolar disorder, or manic depression.
