-Lithium is an essential trace element in food. A typical human body contains 0,000007 kg<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composition_of_the_human_body</ref>. For one million persons the copper required would be 7 kg. For an entire ecosystem serving these one million people the amount required might be about one tonne (hypothetical ratio of 100:1).  So Lithium would likely be sourced from Earth for this use.

 ==Production and use==
-Due to the low concentration lithium on the Moon might require extensive installation.  10 ppm is in the range of gold mines on Earth.  One million tonnes of regolith would need to be treated to produce 10 tonnes of lithium, making it unpractical as a base resources.  The Moon might need to import Lithium.
