Episode notes
Methylene Blue Targets Brain Mitochondria
- Methylene blue is a unique antioxidant that concentrates up to 100-fold in the central nervous system within an hour.
- Its ability to rejuvenate mitochondria is key to its powerful effects on brain function and mood.
How to Prepare Methylene Blue Drink
- Mix pharmaceutical grade methylene blue drops with warm water and ascorbic acid to create a drinkable, reduced methylene blue solution.
- This promotes methylene blue's reduced form, leukomethylene blue, facilitating its beneficial cellular effects, especially in the brain.
Methylene Blue Boosts Mitochondrial Efficiency
- Methylene blue enhances mitochondrial efficiency by bypassing parts of the electron transport chain, reducing oxidative stress.
- This leads to increased ATP production with less cellular damage, crucial for overall cellular energy.
