Lithium [ICP/MS]

Lithium is a trace mineral found naturally in drinking water and certain foods. At trace levels, lithium has demonstrated neuroprotective properties — epidemiological studies have linked higher environmental lithium exposure to lower rates of dementia, suicide, and mood disorders. For individuals supplementing with low-dose lithium for cognitive or mood support, this test helps verify that levels remain within a safe and effective range. This test is also used for therapeutic drug monitoring in patients prescribed lithium for bipolar disorder or other psychiatric conditions, where maintaining precise blood levels is critical to safety and efficacy.
