Lithium Orotate Quality

Dear Dr. Dean:I have ordered VRPs lithium and took it for quite some time. I then decided to try a cheaper kind that I get from New Mexico; also the shipping into Canada does not cost me as much. (a big difference). This formula of lithium orotate has certain ingredients in it that says it is supposed to be absorbed more easily into the system and pass the stomach acid and not be destroyed. (ingredients are —-Mag Carbonate Ac-Di-Sol Avicel uratex Compritol Pure Food glaze Plasdone Mag. Stearate. I think your product worked better. I suffer from a minor soft bipolar disorder and alcoholism and I do believe that I was not having a problem with alcohol when I was taking your product but now I am taking the other brand and seem to have more of a problem stopping at one drink which before I did not. Also I think that my moods were more under control than they are now. Can you please give me any answers to my questions regarding these products. Sincerely Ms. Eagles

Dear Ms. Eagles I cannot comment about the other product. However it may boil down to the old adage You get what you pay for.VRP expends great efforts to obtain high quality raw materials and has its own in-house quality control laboratory directed by Yu Shao Ph.D to maintain uniform high quality and purity for all our products. These are probably the reasons for the difference in your response to the lithium orotate from VRP and the cheaper product.Ward Dean M.D.
