METHYLENE BLUE

Methylene blue is a synthetic chemical compound originally developed as a dye and later used as an FDA-approved prescription drug for the treatment of methemoglobinemia, a condition that impairs the blood’s ability to carry oxygen. Methylene blue is gaining interest as a potential nootropic and longevity agent due to its ability to support mitochondrial function and act as an antioxidant. Human trials suggest it may enhance cognitive performance, including memory, focus and mental clarity by improving brain oxygen use and mitochondrial efficiency.

Methylene blue is also being investigated for neuroprotective effects in conditions such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease by reducing oxidative stress and abnormal protein accumulation. Additional areas of research include possible anti-aging and skin- health benefits, antimicrobial and antiviral activity, mood support through mild MAOI activity, and improved energy and stamina via increased cellular ATP production
