Every wellness journey starts with a question. For us, it was: "If something this small could make me feel this much better… why isn’t everyone getting it?"
A Personal Discovery That Sparked a Mission
Elisa Medhus, M.D. wasn’t looking to start a supplement company. She was simply looking for answers — a way to boost her energy, improve her mood, and handle life’s stress more gracefully. When she began taking a microdose of lithium orotate — just 5 mg per day — the results were profound. She felt lighter, more centered, and more resilient.
The Problem Nobody Was Talking About
Through her research, Elisa learned what many nutrition experts already suspected: lithium, once abundant in our food supply, had quietly disappeared from modern diets due to soil depletion. Most people weren’t getting any — and didn’t even know it was missing.
Research supports this concern, with low-dose lithium showing promise in mood stabilization, cognitive health, and stress modulation (PMCID: PMC10227915, PMCID: PMC8413749).
From Kitchen Table Idea to a Wellness Brand
What began as a personal health breakthrough became a mission: to reintroduce this vital trace mineral into the human diet in a safe, balanced way. Partnering with experts, Elisa developed an all-in-one multivitamin that combined essential daily nutrients with a carefully measured lithium microdose.
Our Vision for the Future
We envision a world where mental wellness is supported not just through therapy and medication, but also through nutrition — where tiny, often-overlooked elements can make a big difference in how we feel and function. VitalithMD is here to make that vision a reality.
Join us in bringing lithium back where it belongs — in the human diet.
