US EditionLithium Deficiency Linked to Alzheimer's Onset, Orotate Restores Memory in Mice
UNITED STATES, AUG 6 – Harvard researchers found lithium orotate reversed Alzheimer's symptoms in mice, reducing plaques by 70% and restoring memory, suggesting potential for low-dose treatment trials.
- Lithium deficiency may be linked to Alzheimer’s disease, according to research from Harvard University.
- The team found that lithium orotate can prevent memory loss in mice and does not bind to amyloid plaques.
- Experts stress the importance of clinical trials to explore lithium orotate's effects on humans, recognizing the study's findings as significant and novel.
- The Harvard team successfully restored memory function in mice by reintroducing lithium orotate, a less toxic compound, into their diet.

Lithium could reverse Alzheimer’s disease, Harvard researchers find
Researchers at Harvard Medical School have discovered a relatively simple yet profound potential treatment for dementia. They found that dissipating levels of lithium may cause cognitive decline — and that small doses of the metal could restore brain health. The study, reported Wednesday in the journal Nature, could foretell enormous impacts for the world’s aging population. An estimated 55 million people worldwide, including 6 million in the Un…
Lithium shows promise in Alzheimer's study
What happenedResearchers at Harvard Medical School reported Wednesday that the depletion of lithium in the brain appears to play a significant role in the development of Alzheimer's disease. The findings, published Wednesday in the journal Nature, open up possibilities for new treatments using small amounts of the common metal, found in several foods and drinking water.Who said whatThe Harvard study could be the "holy grail that prevents and eve…
A Dangerous Chemical Might Treat Alzheimer's
Long used to stabilize moods in bipolar disorder, lithium may hold a surprising new promise: reversing memory loss and brain changes linked to Alzheimer's disease. In a Wednesday study in Nature , researchers found lithium, which the brain naturally produces, is captured by beta-amyloid plaques—the same plaques associated with Alzheimer's—...
