Dr. Greenblatt will discuss the research, science, and clinical implications of nutritional lithium.

Present in trace amounts in the foods we eat and the water we drink, lithium is a critical nutrient for many aspects of human physiology. While it has been widely prescribed and researched as a mood stabilizing drug, it continues to be one of the most misunderstood therapies in medicine. As a naturally occurring mineral, lithium can be utilized at nutritional doses to mimic trace lithium intakes derived from the food chain. At trace levels, lithium has profound effects on brain function and behavior has been confirmed time and again by epidemiologic, clinical, experimental, and comparative studies.

Nutritional lithium has groundbreaking potential for addressing two of the most significant public health crises facing our community – the prevention of Alzheimer’s and the prevention of suicide.
