Anyway, you can calculate, how much "raw" lithium a dose contains.
From https://www.balancingbrainchemistry.co.uk/peter-smith/107/Lithium-Orotate-for-Bipolar-and-Depression/Lithium-Orotate-Dosages-.html :
"Lithium-carbonate contains 18.8% of elemental lithium; Lithium-orotate contains 3.83% of elemental lithium".
