These proteins can end up affecting cognition and  memory—so yLife Extension's brain has natural, built-in processes for removing them.\u003csup\u003e4\u003c\/sup\u003e But this clearing process declines over time as part of  normal aging. When that happens, these proteins can begin to accumulate.\u003csup\u003e5\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA  Bodyguard for YLife Extension's Brain\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e  Preclinical studies indicate that  lithium helps support the breakdown of these accumulated brain proteins and  promotes the brain’s normal process for clearing cellular debris from yLife Extension's  brain cells.\u003csup\u003e6\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLithium\u003c\/strong\u003e also helps protect yLife Extension's brain’s neurons (this is called a \u003cem\u003eneuroprotective\u003c\/em\u003e effect). It does so by  inhibiting an enzyme called glycogen synthase kinase-3, or simply GSK3.\u003csup\u003e7\u003c\/sup\u003e This enzyme is involved in many different kinds of cellular  functions—one of which happens to be the way yLife Extension's brain metabolizes glucose, or  blood sugar.\u003csup\u003e8\u003c\/sup\u003e So lithium may help maintain already-healthy cerebral  glucose metabolism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLithium and a Healthy Life Span\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e  While  nothing is certain, lithium may be a great addition to yLife Extension's longevity regimen  as well. The reason possibly has to do with \u003cem\u003etelomeres\u003c\/em\u003e,  an emerging indicator for lifespan and cellular vitality. Telomeres cap the  outside ends of Life Extension's chromosomes and protect Life Extension's DNA from deterioration—think of  them as the little plastic or metal endcaps on a pair of shoelaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e  Every  time a cell replicates, those endcaps get shorter—and eventually, telomeres  become too short to do their job. So the theory is that the longer you can  maintain long, healthy telomeres, the better yLife Extension's chances of a robust lifespan  are going to be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy Lithium\u003c\/strong\u003e: Research has observed that some people on long-term,  high-dose lithium regimens have longer-than-expected telomeres.\u003csup\u003e9\u003c\/sup\u003e And one study found that lithium levels found in tap water  (much lower doses) were modestly associated with human mortality and lifespan.\u003csup\u003e10\u003c\/sup\u003e There’s  also some evidence that lithium may inhibit cellular senescence—a natural part  of aging where cells no longer function optimally—as well as help promote  healthy circadian rhythms.\u003csup\u003e11,12\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSuggested Usage\u003c\/h2\u003eTake one (1) capsule daily or as recommended by a healthcare practitioner.\u003ch2\u003eIngredients\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cdiv id=\"tabs-supplement_facts\"\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n  \u003ctd\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"wwwProdLDTableIngredients\" cellspacing=\"0\" border=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003eServing Size 1 vegetarian capsule\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd class=\"wwwProdLDCellAmountPerServing\" colspan=\"2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wwwProdLDTextAmountPerServing\"\u003eAmount Per Serving\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n  \u003ctd class=\"wwwProdLDCellIngredientA\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eLithium (as lithium orotate)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003ctd class=\"wwwProdLDCellIngredientA\" width=\"30%\" align=\"right\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e1000 mcg\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n  \u003ctd class=\"wwwProdLDCellOtherIngredients\" colspan=\"2\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eOther ingredients: microcrystalline cellulose, vegetable cellulose (capsule).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eNon-GMO\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \n  \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd class=\"wwwProdLDTitleSections\"\u003eDosage and Use\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n  \u003ctd\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTake one (1) capsule daily or as recommended by a healthcare practitioner.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWarnings\u003c\/h2\u003eDo not exceed recommended dose.  Keep out of the reach of children.  When using nutritional supplements, please consult with your physician if you are undergoing treatment for a medical condition or if you are pregnant or lactating.","brand":"Life Extension","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52420515529071,"sku":"lithium-1000-mcg-LFE","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0917\/0940\/7599\/files\/lithium-1000-mcg-LFE_main_1.jpg?v=1768933988","url":"https:\/\/www.professionalsupplementcenter.com\/products\/lithium-1000-mcg-by-life-extension","provider":"Professional Supplement Center","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
