@JaredMichaels17 @DrJackKruse To use an example of species specific effects. Nearly all animal models live shorter lifespan when given low dose lithium but we have really strong (biobank) human evidence that there is a conserved mechanism where this is not the case in humans.

More interesting evidence that lithium might extend lifespans?
‘Lithium can extend lifespan in animal models. Lithium in drinking water is correlated with human longevity. We find patients taking lithium have 3.5× lower chances of dying at a given age.’ https://t.co/Och3M4UgoU

Taking lithium is associated with improved survival among people with an affective disorder, compared to taking other antipsychotic medications: https://t.co/SLiTvuw4DR
Lithium is both a nutrient and a medication. This episode discusses its impact on mental health, potential benefits of supplementation, and research showing its association with reduced suicide rates and increased…
Studies show trace and therapeutic lithium doses lower mortality, improve survival, and reduce crime and suicide rates across populations, including high-risk groups and bipolar patients, supporting lithium's role in…

"Recent studies have shown that lithium supplementation can extend health and lifespan in different animal (...) Moreover, nutritional lithium uptake from drinking water was repeatedly found to be positively correlated with human longevity."

Lithium extends lifespan in people with affective disorders (UK Biobank)
– Lithium was the strongest factor in regards to increased survival (HR=0.274; 0.12/0.63; p=0.0023), corresponding to 3.641 times lower (1.58/8.41) chances of dying at a given age

-> Trace amounts of lithium in drinking water are positively correlated with longer lifespan & cognitive improvement, suggesting it could be used as a nutritional longevity supplement. 1/3

Lithium treatment found to expand human lifespan, compared to other anti-psychotic drugs.
This lines up with previous findings that lithium extends lifespan, even in micro doses.
