The Science

The Science Behind Methylene Blue

A molecule with a history — and a future.
Originally developed in the 19th century as a textile dye, methylene blue has since been studied extensively for its applications in cellular and mitochondrial health. Its powerful redox properties make it a compound of growing interest across neuroscience, longevity research, and cellular energy studies.

How It Works: Mitochondrial Support

Methylene blue acts as an electron cycler, meaning it can shuttle electrons within the mitochondria — your body’s energy powerhouses. This helps improve the efficiency of ATP production, especially under oxidative stress.

Supports mitochondrial respiration
Reduces reactive oxygen species (ROS)
Promotes cellular resilience

In essence, methylene blue may help your cells make energy more efficiently while protecting against cellular stress.

Cognitive Function & Neuroprotection

Peer-reviewed studies have suggested that low doses of methylene blue may enhance memory consolidation, working memory, and cerebral oxygenation.

It has been explored as a nootropic compound due to its impact on:
Mitochondrial energy in brain cells
Potential protective effects against neurodegeneration
Mental clarity and processing speed

Dosage in Research Contexts

While our product is for research purposes only, here are references from peer-reviewed literature:

~0.5 mg/kg is a common dosage explored in cognitive and mitochondrial studies
10 drops of a 2% solution = approx. 10 mg of methylene blue
Research-grade applications have used doses ranging from 0.25–4 mg/kg

Safety & Considerations

Contraindications:
Methylene blue should not be used in combination with SSRIs, MAOIs, or SNRIs, and is contraindicated in individuals with G6PD deficiency.
