It is something of an open question as to whether lithium orotate (LiOr) dissociates in solution (free Li+ and the base orotate), or whether it remains as an metalorganic complex.
This should be approachable by measuring 3 characteristics of LiOr solutions:
1. conductance -- higher conductance implies free ions
2. osmolality -- higher osmolality implies dissociation
3. free Li+ concentration -- Li-selective electrode will detect Li+ if dissociated, but not in LiOr complex.
