Lithium orotate is more potent, effective, and less toxic than lithium carbonate in a mouse model of mania
TLDR
LiOr demonstrates superior efficacy, potency, and tolerability to LiCO in both male and female mice as a result of select transport-mediated uptake.

Is Lithium a Micronutrient? From Biological Activity and Epidemiological Observation to Food Fortification
TLDR
The biological action of lithium, its bioavailability and metabolism, and content in different foodstuffs and water are reviewed, and the concept of fortifying food with this element as a strategy in the primary prevention of mood disorders and pre-suicidal syndrome is examined.

TLDR
It seems inadvisable to use lithium orotate for the treatment of patients, as the kidney function of the rats examined was significantly lower, the kidney weight and the lithium concentrations in serum, kidney and heart significantly higher after injection of lithium Orotate than after injections of lithium carbonate.

TLDR
The available experimental evidence now appears to be sufficient to accept lithium as essential; a provisional RDA for a 70 kg adult of 1000 μg/day is suggested.
Promotion by orotic acid of liver carcinogenesis in rats initiated by 1,2-dimethylhydrazine.
TLDR
Interestingly, a significant number of liver cancers in the orotic acid-fed group metastasized to lungs, whereas none of the hepatocellular carcinoma in rats exposed to basal diet metastasizes.
