Description

  • Lithium levels in the brain drop in people with mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer’s, fueling memory loss, brain inflammation, and the buildup of toxic proteins
  • Low-dose lithium has been shown to preserve memory, improve attention, and stabilize mood without the kidney and thyroid risks tied to prescription-strength doses
  • A clinical trial found that lithium slowed progression from early memory problems to Alzheimer’s, lowering key disease markers and improving daily functioning
  • Whole foods, mineral-rich water, magnesium, and zinc all support healthy lithium balance and give your brain the nutrients it needs to resist decline
  • Removing vegetable oils, lowering excess iron, and boosting antioxidants like glutathione work alongside lithium to protect brain cells and preserve long-term memory
