The Role of Lithium Chloride in Nutrition and Stem Cell Growth Kinetics: A Review

Lithium chloride (LiCl) is an essential trace element and the smallest alkali metal with an atomic weight of 6.9 that is found in grains, vegetables and in supplemented drinking water sources that seems to have profound effects on human well-being, susceptibility to several diseases and stem cell growth kinetics. Much remains to be learned and understood about the implications of LiCl in nutrition and stem cell culture. This review is going to consider what is known about the natureof this competition and the knowledge towards understanding of lithium biology and its application in medicine in osteomyopathology, immunity, neuroprotectionm, radio- and chemotherapy, cancer and proliferation of stem cells.
