Methylene blue is one of the oldest known molecules used in medicine. But its potential extends far beyond tissue staining.
What does it do in the brain?
Methylene blue works at the mitochondrial level, supporting the electron transport chain. It increases ATP production and reduces oxidative stress, which is crucial for nerve cells.
Neuroprotection
Research indicates that it may delay the progression of diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and even depression. It helps maintain synaptic plasticity and supports neuronal health.
Memory and Concentration
In low doses, MB may improve cognitive abilities, including short-term memory, attention, and concentration. Tested as a potential nootropic, it is generating growing interest in the biohacker community.
