Brief Answer:
Yes its safe to use.

Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for asking from HEALTH CARE MAGIC

Lithium Orotate is available as dietary supplement and is used as mood enhancer. It is safe to use in individuals who might be suffering from Manic depressive or depressive disorders. This would reduce the nervousness and anxiety. No need to worry.

If you have no renal issues then the supplement is safe to use.

If your mood symptoms persist then better to consult a doctor for treatment. Lithium Carbonate (another salt of lithium) is available as drug and is a good mood stabiliser drug.

Thanks. Take care
