Introduction

This video explores the benefits and research behind methylene blue supplementation. The speaker shares personal experiences and discusses its uses as a neutropic and antioxidant, covering topics such as brain anti-aging, immune health, and potential side effects. The video also includes recommended dosages and cautions about sourcing high-quality supplements.

Key Takeaways

• Methylene blue's history: Initially a textile dye, it later found applications in medicine due to its antimicrobial and staining properties.
• Methylene blue's effects on brain health: It may improve cognitive function, short-term memory recall, and act as a neuroprotective agent against age-related brain disorders by improving mitochondrial function.
• Methylene blue's impact on immune health: Its antioxidant properties reduce oxidative stress, modulates inflammatory responses, exhibits antimicrobial activity, and may influence cellular energy production, all potentially enhancing immune function. A clinical study showed significant improvements in oxygen saturation and respiratory rate in patients with severe COVID-19 who received methylene blue.
• Methylene blue's anti-aging benefits: Studies suggest it may delay cellular senescence and improve skin health.
• Side effects and dosage: Common side effects include tongue staining, gastrointestinal issues, headaches, allergic reactions, and potential serotonin syndrome interactions with certain antidepressants. Recommended dosages vary depending on the condition and should be determined under professional supervision; generally ranging from 0.5 to 2 mg per kilogram of body weight. Lower dosages (around 1 mg) are often used for cognitive enhancement and biohacking.
