I find the most interesting papers I read all come from the same place: The National Library of Medicine https://www.nlm.nih.gov/

Here's some recent papers I liked:

- https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8413749/ -- Lithium is used as a mood stabilizer for bipolar and in other disorders. The form of Lithium used in psychiatry is Lithium Carbonate. But other forms also exist. As a supplement: there is Lithium Orotate which some people use to help them sleep, deal with stress, and so on. This paper puts forwards the idea that Lithium Orotate is preferable to Lithium Carbonate due to lower quantities being needed for the same therapeutic results. Resulting in less side-effects.

- https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1525098/ -- In bipolar disorder its known that there are abnormalities in the presence of brain derived neurotrophic growth factor (BDNF.) What's interesting about this is treatments for bipolar help to increase BDNF which may be something of interest to those who are into nootropics.

The papers on this site are honestly some of the best written, in-depth, and accessible works I've come across anywhere. There's enough information here to live a better life if you're willing to sift through papers. No joke.

I wonder if Google's Med-PaLM2 use those for training.

Best content + quality LLM + quality verifications => Useful health advice.
