Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 2 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains two active ingredients: N-acetyl cysteine and lithium (as orotate). The inactive ingredients are cellulose, water, ascorbyl palmitate, and hypoallergenic plant fiber — these are fillers and binders that make up the capsule.

N-acetyl cysteine is a compound your body uses to produce glutathione, a natural antioxidant. Lithium is a mineral that has long been used as a prescription medication for mood disorders, and this supplement delivers it at a lower dose than prescription forms.

Does it work?

Not established
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: mood support and mental function.
  • We looked for evidence on: Bipolar disorder, Depression.
  • The closest evidence on file: N-acetyl Cysteine (nac) is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Bipolar disorder (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Lithium is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Bipolar disorder, Depression.

The evidence for lithium at supplement doses is not established in the data we hold — all the conditions listed (alcohol use disorder, Alzheimer disease, ALS, anorexia nervosa, and asthma) are marked as having insufficient reliable evidence to rate. N-acetyl cysteine shows effectiveness for acetaminophen poisoning, certain lung conditions (atelectasis, bronchitis), and medical uses like tracheostomy care and bronchial studies.

However, those medical uses are not what most people take this supplement for, so the practical effectiveness for your own reason to use it depends on your specific goal.

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 2 of the 2 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 2 of 2.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 2 of 2.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

N-acetyl cysteine is generally well tolerated at typical doses, though at higher doses (more than 9 grams in a single dose or more than 30 grams daily) it can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, heartburn, and other gastrointestinal upset. When taken by vein, it may cause rash and allergic reactions; when inhaled, it can trigger cough or bronchospasm.

Joint pain was reported in more than 15% of people in one trial. Lithium is a bigger concern: prescription forms require blood monitoring because it has a narrow margin between an effective dose and a toxic one, and it's unclear how supplement doses affect this balance.

Lithium is marked possibly unsafe in pregnancy — it can cross the placenta and has been linked to birth defects — and likely unsafe during breastfeeding, as it passes into breast milk and may harm the infant. Common side effects include tremor, fatigue, muscle weakness, weight gain, increased thirst and urination, and various skin conditions.

Do not stop lithium abruptly if you've been taking it; stopping suddenly can trigger a return of bipolar symptoms, so it must be tapered gradually over at least 14 days.

Why this rating?
  • 2 of the 2 matched ingredients can interact with medications — N-acetyl Cysteine (nac), Lithium.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Major.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; seizure medications.
  • For scale: 650 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Major interactions: serotonergic drugs (antidepressants, especially SSRIs), diuretics (water pills, thiazide and loop types), and nitroglycerin (a heart medication). Moderate interactions: blood thinners and antiplatelet drugs (like warfarin and clopidogrel), NSAIDs (ibuprofen, naproxen), antipsychotics, ACE inhibitors (blood pressure drugs), calcium channel blockers (another type of blood pressure medication), anticonvulsants, and skeletal muscle relaxants.

If you take any of these, check your exact medications before starting this supplement.

Lithium11 drug types · 515 drugs

Diuretic Drugs

Theoretically, taking lithium supplements with loop diuretics might increase lithium levels and adverse effects.
Thiazide diuretics and loop diuretics might reduce lithium excretion, particularly in sodium-restricted patients. If lithium is clinically indicated and other treatment options are unavailable or inadequate in patients using diuretics, lithium treatment can be initiated with extreme caution. Serum lithium should be measured frequently and the doses used should be the lowest dose ordinarily tolerated. It is unclear if this interaction would be clinically significant with the smaller doses found in lithium supplements.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Serotonergic Drugs

Theoretically, taking lithium supplements with serotonergic drugs might both mask and increase the risk of serotonin syndrome.
In a case report, a 67-year-old female with depression and bipolar disorder using lithium in combination with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and other medications developed serotonin syndrome with symptoms of deep tendon hyperreflexia, muscle rigidity, tremor, and hyperthermia. However, agitation, one classical symptom of serotonin syndrome, was lacking. This was thought to be due to masking by lithium toxicity. Lithium can increase serotonin levels, thus, combining serotonergic drugs with lithium might increase the risk of serotonergic side effects including serotonin syndrome and cerebral vasoconstrictive disorders. It is unclear if this interaction would occur with the smaller doses found in lithium supplements.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Ace Inhibitors (Aceis)

Theoretically, taking lithium supplements with ACEIs might increase levels and adverse effects of lithium.
Concomitant administration of ACEIs with lithium may increase lithium concentrations. It is unclear if this interaction would be clinically significant with the smaller doses found in lithium supplements.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Anticonvulsants

Theoretically, taking lithium supplements with anticonvulsants might increase the risk of neurotoxicity.
Drugs such as carbamazepine and phenytoin seem to increase the risk of neurotoxicity. It is unclear if this interaction would occur with the smaller doses found in lithium supplements.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antipsychotic Drugs

Theoretically, taking lithium supplements with antipsychotic drugs might increase the risk of encephalopathic syndrome.
Encephalopathic syndrome has been reported in multiple patients taking prescription lithium and antipsychotics concomitantly. Symptoms have included weakness and lethargy, fever, confusion, and extrapyramidal symptoms. In some patients, resulting brain damage was irreversible. Although there is no established causal relationship between these symptoms and the combination of lithium and antipsychotic medications, there is a theoretical relationship. It is unclear if this interaction would occur with the smaller doses found in lithium supplements.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Calcium Channel Blockers

Theoretically, taking lithium supplements with calcium channel blockers might reduce lithium levels and might also increase the risk of certain adverse effects.
Calcium channel blockers might reduce lithium concentrations. Monitor lithium levels with concurrent use. Calcium channel blockers might also increase the adverse neurological and gastrointestinal adverse effects of lithium. It is unclear if these interactions would occur with the smaller doses found in lithium supplements.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Methyldopa (Aldomet)

Theoretically, taking lithium supplements with methyldopa might increase the risk of lithium toxicity.
Concurrent use of methyldopa with lithium increases the risk of lithium toxicity. It is unclear if this interaction would be clinically significant with the smaller doses found in lithium supplements.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Methylxanthines

Theoretically, taking lithium supplements with methylxanthines might decrease lithium levels.
Xanthines such as aminophylline, caffeine, and theophylline (Theo-Dur, Theo-24, others) might increase the clearance of lithium. It is unclear if this interaction would be clinically significant with the smaller doses found in lithium supplements.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (Nsaids)

Theoretically, taking lithium supplements with NSAIDs might increase lithium levels and adverse effects.
NSAIDs can decrease the renal clearance of lithium and increase lithium levels. It is unclear if this interaction would be clinically significant with the smaller doses found in lithium supplements.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Phenothiazines

Theoretically, taking lithium supplements with phenothiazines might decrease the levels and clinical effects of phenothiazines.
Concomitant use of lithium with phenothiazines might reduce lithium concentrations. Lithium might also reduce phenothiazine concentrations, making the pharmacokinetic effect unpredictable. It is unclear if these interactions would occur with the smaller doses found in lithium supplements.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Skeletal Muscle Relaxants

Theoretically, taking lithium supplements with skeletal muscle relaxants might prolong neuromuscular blockade.
Lithium might prolong neuromuscular blockade. It is unclear if this interaction would occur with the smaller doses found in lithium supplements.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Lithium full monograph & interactions

N-Acetyl L-Cysteine5 drug types · 294 drugs

Nitroglycerin

N-acetyl cysteine can increase the risk for hypotension and headaches when taken with intravenous or transdermal nitroglycerin.
Clinical research shows that concomitant administration of N-acetyl cysteine and intravenous or transdermal nitroglycerin can cause severe hypotension and intolerable headaches. Furthermore, in vitro research suggests that N-acetyl cysteine increases the anticoagulant activity of nitroglycerin.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Activated Charcoal

N-acetyl cysteine might reduce the effects of activated charcoal, while activated charcoal might reduce the absorption of N-acetyl cysteine.
N-acetyl cysteine appears to reduce the capacity of activated charcoal to adsorb acetaminophen and salicylic acid. Conversely, although clinical research suggests that although activated charcoal can reduce the absorption of N-acetyl cysteine by up to 40%, it does not seem to reduce its clinical effects. Other clinical evidence suggests that activated charcoal does not affect the absorption of N-acetyl cysteine.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, N-acetyl cysteine might increase the risk of bleeding when taken with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
Clinical research suggests that intravenous N-acetyl cysteine decreases prothrombin time, prolongs coagulation time, decreases platelet aggregation, and increases blood loss in surgical patients. Furthermore, in vitro research suggests that N-acetyl cysteine increases the anticoagulant activity of nitroglycerin.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antihypertensive Drugs

Theoretically, N-acetyl cysteine might increase the risk of hypotension when taken with antihypertensive drugs.
Animal research suggests that N-acetyl cysteine potentiates the hypotensive effects of the angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) captopril and enalaprilat. Theoretically, combining N-acetyl cysteine with other antihypertensive drugs might increase the risk of hypotension.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Chloroquine (Aralen)

Theoretically, N-acetyl cysteine might interfere with the antimalarial effects of chloroquine.
Animal research suggests that N-acetyl cysteine might reduce the antimalarial effects of chloroquine by increasing cellular levels of glutathione.

Lithium (Orotate) 5 mg by Pure Encapsulations: Common Questions

Does Lithium (Orotate) 5 mg by Pure Encapsulations interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Lithium (Orotate) 5 mg has a known interaction with 650 medications, including 260 rated major. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Lithium (Orotate) 5 mg contains 2 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Can I take this if I'm on antidepressants?
No — lithium has a documented Major interaction with serotonergic drugs like SSRIs, where the combination can mask and increase the risk of serotonin syndrome, a serious condition. You must talk to your doctor or pharmacist before considering this product if you take any antidepressant.
Is this safe during pregnancy?
No. Lithium is marked possibly unsafe in pregnancy because it can cross the placenta and has been linked to birth defects. If you're pregnant or planning pregnancy, talk to your doctor before using this product.
What are the most common side effects of N-acetyl cysteine?
At typical doses, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, heartburn, and loss of appetite are the most common side effects when taken by mouth. Higher doses increase the risk of these effects.
What does N-acetyl cysteine do in this product?
N-acetyl cysteine is a compound your body uses to make glutathione, a natural antioxidant. It's been shown effective for acetaminophen poisoning and certain lung conditions, but the purpose it serves in a lithium supplement at this dose isn't specified in the product facts.
Why does lithium need blood monitoring?
Lithium has a narrow safety margin — the difference between a helpful dose and a toxic one is small. Prescription lithium requires regular blood tests to keep levels safe. Supplement doses are lower and less studied, so it's unclear whether the same monitoring applies.
Can I stop taking this suddenly?
No. If you've been taking lithium, stopping abruptly can trigger a return of bipolar symptoms. It must be tapered gradually over at least 14 days — discuss this with your doctor or pharmacist before stopping.
