Great product from a GREAT company!
I am being treated for late disseminated neuronborreliosis (Lyme disease that has spread and infected my brain) and began experiencing the worst depression of my life - it was actually WORSE than depression, the only way to truly describe it is "anhedonia," I didn't want to to ANYTHING, despite having the energy and motivation to do SOMETHING.. the thought of even my favorite activities was almost repulsing! It was very strange and VERY uncomfortable. I did some research and found out that a lack of a certain neurotransmitter in the brain causes this, and lithium orotate supplements were beneficial in treating it, so I quickly ordered a bottle on Prime! I would have paid ten times what I did to feel better, but the price for Weyland's product is quite good. Their product arrived quickly and is definitely pharmacetical-grade: after over 10 years as a compounding pharmacy technician, I have seen some supplements with little or NO quality control... this is not one of them. Each capsule was equally full, there was no powder loose inside the bottle or on the capsules, and the gel caps have no taste at all! After one month of these, I can definitely say they have made a huge difference in my mood and outlook, even with extremely powerful IV antibiotics running around in my body. I can tell a difference in myself on the days I don't take them, so I try to remember to every night. I began taking two caps twice a day, morning and bedtime, because my mood was so strong. As it eased, in a few days I began just taking the two at bedtime, and the beneficial effects were maintained. I have not noticed any side effects while taking this supplement.
Please note that this is NOT the same thing as the PRESCRIPTION DRUG Lithium Carbonate; the words on the end refer to different 'salts' of the molecule and are completely separate substances. If you are prescribed Lithium Carbonate and take this supplement, you will NOT experience the relief your doctor intended. Vice versa, this is NOT an anti-psychotic class drug, and will not produce the same effects (or side effects) as prescription Lithium Carbonate.
It has been about 4 months since I started this product, and in the bustle of everything going on, I had forgotten to order a bottle in well over a month. Today I received a padded mailer with a bottle of Lithium Orotate inside, along with a UPS label and a tiny card. At first, my Mom was furious that I'd ordered it off Amazon without telling her or printing a receipt, but I protested, "I definitely didn't order this!!" Then I read the card and showed her. It was from Greg, the Founder of Weyland Brain Nutrition, who sent me a FREE bottle as a thank you for buying their product! ZERO gimmick, ZERO commitment, no auto-enroll or anything, just a thoughtful gift from a very smart company. By giving me this free bottle, they made sure that I 1) never forget their brand name, 2) definitely remember to buy another bottle when this one is used and c) hopped right on here and took a few minutes to write a review! How much good will can you buy for $17? A LOT! :) Thank you, Weyland!
