As stated, dose makes poison. Lithium appears to be a part of normal nutrition:

> The available experimental evidence now appears to be sufficient to accept lithium as essential; a provisional RDA for a 70 kg adult of 1000 μg/day is suggested.  For humans, the available evidence suggests that assuring adequate Li intakes for the general population could provide substantial health and societal benefits. Special attention should be accorded to the potentially higher relative Li needs of children, adolescents and lactating mothers.
