Lithium Aspartate5 mg

The label names the compound (Lithium Aspartate); its amount is likely the compound's weight, not the lithium it holds, so it is not placed among other products.

  • 94% of the 676 products that print an amount of 5-HTP list more than its 12.5 mg of 5-htp (filed by NIH under 5-HTP) (median 100 mg).
