What is Methylene Blue?
Research compound aggregated from creator and literature mentions. No direct disease-treatment claims are made on this page.
Experts on background and overview · 16 cited mentions
"Thoughts on 20 milligrams methylene blue tablets? Been taking 10 milligrams daily... I would prefer 10 milligrams daily than 20 milligrams three times a week because over 10 milligrams you see that some people start to have a drop in their hematocrit."
"Vigorous Steve reported that adding 2-5 mg of SS-31 may help support cardiolipin in the mitochondrial membrane, and suggested it could complement methylene blue, ASU, and MOTS-c."
"SLU, MOTS-c, methylene blue, ubiquinol, PQQ to a certain extent, they all cause an immediate effect, so you could schedule that around your workout."

"You can keep your hemoglobin and matocrate under control with things like telmaartan or nalopril or IP6 or methyline blue or daily fasted cardio."
"high dose methylene blue like which you can see from these doses. We're talking like somewhere in like the 50 to 80 mg dose per day."
"when I combined it [vortioxetine] with a low-dose methylene blue, it gave me full-blown serotonin syndrome."
"Low-dose methylene blue, and some basic omega-3 fatty acids. What's our brain made of?"
"Vigorous Steve reported a protocol of methylene blue at 10 mg, five times per week."
"from 25 mg per day you see an active reduction in your hematocrit."
"the increased serotonin from the methylene blue will help with the increased melatonin to keep you sleepy as an antioxidant as well."
"And then methylene blue has a slight overlap in that as well through oxygenation right? Through the electron donorship."
"if you're already on SLU, methylene blue, mots, SS31, I think that's pretty much it."
"some antioxidants or methylene blue SLU MOTS-c SS-31."
"10 mg methylene blue per day."
"Has research looked into combining other MAIs aside from the harm with as it's called vine and things like perhaps like a really weak one like methylene blue, something like that or something else that's natural but also a different mechanism of MAI."
"high-dose methylene blue. Like which you can see from these doses, we're talking like somewhere in like the 50 to 80 mg dose per day."
What is Methylene Blue researched for?
Mitochondrial enhancer and oxygenator; at higher chronic doses can lower hematocrit/RBC over time (historic anti-malarial).
