What is Lithium orotate?

Chemical properties

Lithium orotate, also known as vitamin B13. White shiny needle-like crystals or crystalline powder obtained from water, odorless and sour. The melting point was 345-346 °c. Insoluble in cold water and ethanol, slightly soluble in hot water.

The Uses of Lithium orotate

Lithium orotate is a nutritional supplement form of lithium, used in micro doses much like zinc or selenium.

Purification Methods

The salt is soluble in H2O at 17o and 100o. Best to acidify an aqueous solution of the salt, isolate the free acid (see above) which is recrystallised from H2O (as monohydrate) m 345-347o (345-346o), then dissolve it in EtOH, add an equivalent amount of LiOH in EtOH and evaporate. Its solubility in H2O is 1.28% (17o) and 2.34% (100o).
