As we age, preventing brain degeneration becomes an increasingly important priority. Recently, Harvard Medical School researchers uncovered a connection between a key nutrient deficiency and brain aging, offering new hope for preventing and treating cognitive decline.

In August 2025, Nature published a study by Harvard Medical School that uncovered the critical role of lithium in maintaining brain health. Researchers found that individuals with cognitive decline had significantly lower levels of lithium in their brains compared to healthy individuals.
Lithium, widely recognized for its mood-stabilising properties, also plays a vital role in cognitive function. The study revealed that lithium is closely associated with synaptic health, myelin sheath protection, and anti-inflammatory responses. Beyond its role in emotional regulation, lithium is crucial for the overall health of the brain's nervous system.
When dietary lithium intake is inadequate, or when beta-amyloid protein deposits in the brain trap lithium, a chain reaction of degenerative processes can begin. This leads to the buildup of harmful proteins, chronic inflammation, and disrupted communication between neurons, all of which contribute to accelerated brain aging and cognitive decline.

The study also highlighted that supplementing with lithium orotate can not only prevent cognitive decline but even reverse memory loss caused by brain degeneration. The good news is that lithium orotate can be easily obtained through everyday foods. Here are some dietary sources to consider:

Whole grains such as brown rice, oats, quinoa, and millet are not only rich in lithium but also packed with fibre, vitamins, and minerals that stabilise blood sugar and promote gut health. Lithium occurs naturally in trace amounts in these grains, making them a great dietary source.

Protein-based foods, particularly deep-sea fish and beans, are excellent sources of lithium. Beans such as red beans, black beans, and green beans are especially rich in lithium and also provide dietary fibre and plant-based protein to support overall health.

Dairy products like milk, cheese, and yogurt are another natural source of lithium. They are also high in calcium, protein, and vitamin D, which are essential for bone health and nervous system function.

As we age, beta-amyloid protein builds up in the brain, forming toxic plaques that impair normal brain function. This accumulation also traps lithium, creating a vicious cycle of cognitive decline.
Brainwell, combining Kampo philosophy with modern science, offers comprehensive brain health support. It contains natural extracts of Panax Pseudo Ginseng, Eucommia, and Turmeric, proven to slow brain aging and protect cognitive function.
Research has shown that Brainwell provides antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits, neutralising free radicals, reducing brain inflammation, and protecting neurons from damage. It also helps reduce beta-amyloid protein buildup, reverse existing plaques, and promote brain cell repair and regeneration, ensuring long-term brain health.
By blending Kampo wisdom with modern science, Brainwell supports brain health from prevention to repair, offering a holistic solution to protect and enhance cognitive function.
