You can buy trace mineral drops, which contain a fair amount of lithium, as well as magnesium and other trace minerals. The most common ones are based on de-salted mineral deposits from the great salt lake.
No idea if this is the best supplement for lithium (but would be interested to know).
I have been using these for years, primarily because I feel the evidence is strong for the benefits of a small amount of lithium. As a welcome side effect, the magnesium has completely alleviated leg jitters while sleeping (this is a well known effect of magnesium).
- omilu 8y agoWow, not sure if leg jitters refers to restless leg syndrome, but your comment made me just realise that once I started taking magnesium citrate my restless leg syndrome has completely subsided. I started taking magnesium to help with insomnia which I can't say it has helped much but I definitely no longer have fidgety feet and legs all night.
- thrax 8y agoMagnesium definitely helps. Restless leg runs in my family. Another thing to try: a glass of shweppes tonic water (the kind with quinine in it). That works for me when RL is so bad I can't sleep. My poor wife has bruises on her legs sometimes from me kicking her in my sleep :( when I'm awake it feels like leg cramps. When I'm asleep, I apparently kick like crazy.
