Serenity is a trace mineral produce but is appears to be designed like a herbal remedy approach. For its main ingredients it “combines the natural mineral form of lithium with the orotate mineral transporter and is then completed with the patented micro vortex enteric coating manufacturing process.”
Is Serenity Right For You?
Serenity is a trace mineral product but is appears to be designed like a herbal remedy approach; and is aimed for individuals who suffer from unstable emotions, mood swings, excessive sleeping, migraines, a bad temper, stress, insomnia, anxiety, PMS, menopause and uncontrollable crying. This formula was first developed by Dr. Hans Nieper and then manufactured and sold by Urban Nutrition Inc.
According to the manufacturer, this formula combines the natural mineral form of lithium with the orotate mineral transporter and is then completed with the patented micro vortex enteric coating manufacturing process. Specialists’ opinions regarding this mineral are divided. Some believe it’s perfectly safe and highly effective, while others points out that Lithium may be dangerous and associated with various side effects. However, Urban Nutrition says that they have found a safe method, in Serenity, of transporting it into the brain without the common side effects.
Ingredients of Serenity
Serenity includes the following ingredients:
Ashwagandha extract (Withania somnifera) known as Sensoril, Eleuthero (Siberian ginseng) and Rhodiola rosacea.
Effectiveness of Serenity
According to a recent study (AARP Bulletin, October 2008 issue), anxiety, depression and insomnia top the list of conditions for which herbal remedies are dispensed. Thus, many manufacturers are developing natural products that aim to treat these health problems without causing the common side effects associated with prescription medications that are used for the exact same purpose.
Urban Nutrition claims they have found a safe way of using lithium orotate to transport the necessary nutrients to the brain. However, there is no clinical evidence provided on how this is accomplished in a safe manner and how tests have proved it, which begs many questions for the average consumer.
According to the company, research has demonstrated that this does not raise the lithium levels in the blood at all or in any significant way. Therefore, toxic levels of Lithium are not an associated problem with Serenity. The claim on the label states that this product promotes emotional well being and further describes it as a unique combination of herbal extracts that help the body cope with stress.
As with almost all herbs, it is difficult to find combination’s that occur naturally in our natural diet, such as whole foods. This means the concoction of herbs and other ingredients are used to have an effect on the brain, which is a short term, artificial process. Some may not even pass the blood brain barrier.

Customer Reviews
I dont recommend this supplement to anyone actually. It didnt offer me any benefits and I wont buy it again.
i got at a discount my my local store. I took it after dinner and didnt see any different at all.
I got this for the price, against the others on the shelf. Unfortunelty they didnt work for me, but they had no side effects ether.
I was diagnosed with BiPolar II about ten years ago and medications left me emotionally “flat.” I discovered Urban Nutrition’s Serenity and it has been a life saver–just ask my husband and friends! I know for sure it works because if I run out and wait too long to order more or if I try stopping it for a while, I definitely notice a difference, as do my friends and family. If it didn’t help you, that doesn’t mean it can’t help others. I am no longer “flat” and have “normal” highs and lows. I would recommend that anyone in my situation at least try it!
I ordered this for my son who is bio-polar and has hyperthyroidism. He says he doesn’t feel different, but I notice and so do his friends. It seems to take the edge off his irritability and frustrations. I used it twice when I felt anxious myself and it totally calmed me down. I say it works!
