Methylene blue is a synthetic dye and medication with antioxidant and metabolic properties. Initially developed as a textile dye, it quickly gained medical significance. In the late 19th century, scientists discovered its ability to treat malaria, making it one of the earliest synthetic antimalarial drugs. During World War II, it was used to prevent urinary tract infections in soldiers.
In recent times, it has grown in popularity in bio-hacking circles. Much like a Swiss Army Knife, Methylene Blue has dozens of applications that can benefit its user, especially if they are a looking to take their metabolic and cognitive research to the next level.
Let's find out exactly what those applications are...
THE MAIN USES OF MB
Cognitive Enhancement -Improves memory, focus, mood and mental clarity while preventing neurodegeneration.
Mitochondrial Enhancement - Enhances ATP production for greater energy, performance and recovery.
Anti-Oxidant/Microbial Effects - Reduces oxidative stress and inflammation while fighting certain bacteria, viruses, and fungi.
Anti-Aging & Anti-Cancer Effects - Slows cellular aging processes down while promoting apoptosis in cancer cells.
Researchers report their tongue turning blue (after all, MB is a dye), as well as their urine acquiring a blue-ish tint, but both side-effects are temporary, harmless and 100% reversible.
MB may interact negatively with SSRI medications and other serotonergic drugs. Some users may experience anxiety, headaches, and nausea.
More serious (but rare) side-effects include increase blood pressure, hemolysis and tachycardia.
Most researchers report seeing great results when it comes to energy levels, mental clarity/focus, physical performance and post-exercise recovery. That, combined with its miraculous effects on lifespan and health, make Methylene Blue an excellent choice for bio-hackers who are interested in taking their metabolic, cognitive and anti-aging research to the next level.
