🔵 Methylene Blue for Focus & Brain Health

Daily Deep Dives:

Methylene Blue (MB) has been around for over 100 years, but recently it’s been gaining attention in the performance and longevity world. Why? Because at low doses it seems to have powerful effects on the brain.

🔹 What It Does

Boosts energy in cells → MB can act as an electron carrier, helping mitochondria produce ATP more efficiently. More ATP = more energy for neurons.
Protects the brain → reduces oxidative stress and helps shield neurons from damage.
Improves blood flow & oxygen use → supports sharper thinking and focus.
Enhances memory → studies suggest MB helps with memory formation and recall.
Supports mood & motivation → mild effects on dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine can support attention and drive.

🔹 Why It’s Different

Unlike stimulants (like caffeine), MB doesn’t just “push” the brain harder. Instead, it helps the brain run more efficiently at the cellular level.

🔹 Things to Keep in Mind

Dosage matters → Low doses = beneficial, high doses = counterproductive.
Research low around 5-10mg a 3-4 times per week
Purity matters → Only pharmaceutical-grade MB is safe for human use. Aquarium or lab-grade MB can contain heavy metals.
Medical caution → MB interacts with SSRIs and some other meds (serotonin syndrome risk). Also not recommended for people with G6PD deficiency.

✅ Bottom Line

Methylene Blue may enhance focus, energy, and memory by helping the brain’s power plants (mitochondria) work more efficiently. But it’s only effective and safe when used in the right dose and quality.
