A Survey Exploring People's Experiences With Lithium Bought as a Supplement: Une enquête sur l’expérience des personnes avec le lithium en supplément
This study revealed a diverse range of lithium supplements taken, in terms of dosage, formulation, frequency, and duration of intake. Anecdotal evidence highlighted prevalent perceived benefits and adverse effects. The study is, however, limited notably by its cross-sectional opportunistic design; more robust evidence, especially from controlled trials, is needed to fully establish the specific benefits and drawbacks associated with different forms and doses of accessible lithium supplements.Plain Language Summary TitleA survey exploring people's experiences with lithium bought as a supplement.
