# 543 - Will METHYLENE BLUE help you lose weight ?

Methylene blue is one of the oldest synthetic compounds used in medicine, dating back to the 1800s. It was originally used to treat malaria but today its being used to study fat loss, cellular metabolism, alzheimers and longevity.

Methylene blue helps your mitochondria work more efficiently especially in the brain.

Fat loss depnds on how efficiently your mitochondria burn fuel and methylene blue supports that energy production pathway, it improves insulin sensitivity meaning your body uses carbs more efficiently and you end up storing less fat.

But importantly methylene blue is dose sensitive, meaning too much and you risk unwanted side effects. Let me be clear, methylene isn't fringe biohacking, clinical trials are underway right now. In this episode we explore all its benefits and what dosage is advised.
