Lithium 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.
- Researchers at Harvard found that lithium could potentially prevent Alzheimer’s disease by maintaining normal brain function and preventing the buildup of amyloid plaques and tangles.
- The compound lithium orotate reversed Alzheimer’s pathology in mice and appeared to protect brain health.
- Prof Bruce Yankner stated that lithium deficiency could be a cause of Alzheimer’s, suggesting a new therapeutic approach for the disease.
- Low levels of lithium were linked to inflammation and memory loss in mice, according to findings published in Nature.

Dementia breakthrough as scientists discover key deficiency could play crucial role in disease onset
Researchers at Harvard Medical School have identified a potential breakthrough in understanding Alzheimer's disease after discovering that insufficient lithium levels in the brain may play a crucial role in the condition's onset.The comprehensive study, spanning 10 years and published in Nature, demonstrates that lithium naturally exists in brain tissue where it helps preserve normal cellular function across all major cell types.The research tea…
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…
