Learning & education: Methylene Blue
Besides implementing healthy habits like plenty of sleep, exercise, a good diet, and a regular meditation practice, there are some exciting molecules can help us stay mentally strong by optimizing our brain chemistry. And surprise! Methylene blue (MB) is one of them.
Did you know that besides staining our tongues blue and turning on smurf mode, methylene blue has been historically used in biochemistry as a dye for microbes and blood smears? Is methylene blue actually good for us? Or is it dangerous?
Mitochondria are absolutely vital to maintaining and optimizing health. When they work well, we feel well, and when they don’t, we don’t. Symptoms of mitochondrial dysfunction can vary from fatigue and brain fog to the obliteration of the electron transport chain from cyanide poisoning and death. Ouch!
At Troscriptions, our products optimize health rather than treat disease. In this context, our methylene blue dosing was designed to leverage this magical blue compound for its energy enhancing and antioxidant properties while at the same time minimizing the risks of possible toxicity.
Flashy news articles alert! Did you hear that biohackers and optimal performers like Ben Greenfield, the Biohacker Babes (our friends Lauren and Renee), and many others from the Tro Nation are using “fish tank cleaner” to reverse aging and optimize their mitochondria?
Methylene blue is one of the most fascinating compounds in the world. Originally, this article was featured on Dave Asprey’s Biohacked blog, but we've expanded it and added more information.
