Methylene Blue is a compound with a long history in medicine, originally used as a dye and an antidote for certain types of poisoning. More recently, it has gained significant interest as a potent nootropic and mitochondrial enhancer. At very low doses, Methylene Blue acts as an "electron cycler" within the mitochondria, improving the efficiency of the electron transport chain and increasing the production of ATP, the body's main energy currency. This is particularly beneficial for the brain, which is an incredibly energy-demanding organ. By enhancing brain energy metabolism, Methylene Blue has been shown in studies to improve memory and cognitive function. Mitochondrial dysfunction is a key hallmark of aging. By optimizing the function of our cellular powerhouses, Methylene Blue can help to restore a more youthful energetic state, directly combating a fundamental aspect of biological aging. Its use as a nootropic requires precise, low dosing, as higher doses can have opposite effects.
