About Methylene Blue

Methylene Blue Overview

Neurotransmitters: Methylene Blue inhibits monoamine oxidase and acetylcholinesterase activity, increasing catecholamines and acetylcholine levels. It boosts serotonin and norepinephrine, affecting anxiety, depression, and memory.

​Mitochondrial Energy: Methylene Blue assists brain cell respiration by increasing oxygen and donating electrons to the electron transport chain within mitochondria. This same process creates ATP within mitochondria from the food you eat. So MB contributes to this energy-production process in place of the nutrients you get from your food. Increasing cellular energy positively affects mood and memory.​

Neuroprotectant: Methylene Blue is a potent antioxidant. Reactive oxygen species are produced inside mitochondria. The first free radical that is formed inside a cell is superoxide. MB will bind to superoxide and reduce it to water. It stops the oxidative cascade at its very beginning before it gets a chance to do damage.

Methylene Blue boosts brain health and function in several ways. But two, in particular, stand out.

​1. Methylene Blue improves memory. Unlike other nootropics, which often work by increasing neurotransmitter synthesis and neural signaling, Methylene Blue enhances memory by increasing brain cell respiration. Or how the brain cell utilizes oxygen.

2. Methylene Blue is an antioxidant. Methylene Blue has a unique mechanism of action that is fundamentally different from traditional antioxidants. During cellular respiration, the first free radical formed inside a cell is superoxide (O2). Methylene Blue binds to superoxide and reduces it to water. It stops the oxidative cascade at its very beginning. Before it gets a chance to do damage.
