Methylene Blue Drops

Methylene Blue is one of the older compounds in modern pharmacology. It was first synthesized in 1876 and initially used as an antimalarial drug. It is now studied for mitochondrial function and cognitive health. Each serving delivers 10mg in a liquid drop format for convenient daily use.

Important: The manufacturer notes that the safety of this product has not been fully determined. This is an emerging-research compound. It is not appropriate for pregnant or nursing women, anyone under 18, or individuals with known medical conditions without first consulting a physician.

What's inside:

• Mitochondrial support: Methylene Blue acts as an electron carrier in the mitochondrial electron transport chain, supporting ATP production.
• Cognitive support: Studied for its role in supporting memory, focus, and neurological function.
• 10mg per serving: A low, research-relevant dose delivered in liquid form for flexibility. Take directly or add to a beverage.

The science:

Methylene Blue's mechanism in the brain involves inhibition of monoamine oxidase (MAO) and guanylate cyclase, as well as its role as a redox cycling agent. It can accept and donate electrons, which allows it to bypass blockages in the mitochondrial electron transport chain. This is why it has been investigated as a potential neuroprotective compound.

A 2016 randomized, placebo-controlled trial published in Radiology found that a single low dose of methylene blue improved human memory encoding and retrieval on functional MRI testing compared to placebo. The authors proposed that enhanced mitochondrial efficiency in memory-related brain regions was the likely mechanism.

The compound has a long record at doses used in hospitals. Chronic supplement use in healthy adults has not been studied long-term. Start with the suggested dose and monitor your response.

DO NOT combine with serotonergic medications (SSRIs, MAOIs, triptans). That combination carries a risk of serotonin syndrome.

Suggested use: 20 drops (1ml) orally once daily, preferably in the morning. Can be taken directly or added to a beverage. Do not exceed suggested dose. Not for use with serotonergic medications.
