ADVICE

Optimal Methylene Blue Dosing

  • Take methylene blue 2-3 times per week for general mitochondrial support and recovery.
  • Some individuals with higher stress or infections may benefit from daily or short-term increased dosing.
ANECDOTE

Methylene Blue's Historical Use

  • Early uses of methylene blue included treating viral infections with lollipops for kids in developing countries.
  • High doses create hydrogen peroxide that kills viruses, bacteria, and fungi without resistance development.
INSIGHT

Redox Cycling Mechanism

  • Methylene blue acts as a redox cycler, switching between oxidized blue (methylene blue) and reduced colorless (leucomethylene blue) forms.
  • This cycling underpins its antioxidant and electron donation effects in mitochondria.
