What are the numerous benefits of Methylene Blue?

Do you want to extend your lifespan?

Do you want to have more energy?

Do you want to improve your memory and concentration?

Do you suffer from depression, anxiety, pain, or cognitive decline?

As you age, your cells need more oxygen and protection against free radicals to stay healthy and function optimally. A healthy diet and clean air are beneficial in protecting our cellular function, but our terrestrial environment remains a highly toxic place. How do we combat this? Let us introduce you to a new tool that can help: Methylene Blue. Methylene Blue helps provide your cells with the oxygen and energy they need to function optimally.

Actions of Methylene Blue

Methylene Blue essentially helps supply oxygen and create more energy in our mitochondria, the powerhouses of our cells. It accumulates in the mitochondria, which are highly concentrated in our nervous tissue. Our body relies on optimal mitochondrial function to produce the oxygen and cellular energy that will be used by the body. With age, chronic stress, inflammation, poor diet, etc., mitochondrial function decreases. Methylene Blue acts within the mitochondria, selectively choosing to first heal damaged mitochondria, and then move on to improving other less damaged mitochondria.

"Without oxygen, nitric oxide and a cascade of stress hormones and pro-inflammatory signals increase, and the body's energy supply is essentially cut off." – The ultimate guide to Methylene Blue by Mark Sloan

Health benefits of Methylene Blue

Methylene Blue improves metabolism by:

• Improving mitochondrial function and respiration, oxygen consumption, ATP production, and glucose consumption
• Decreasing lactate production
• Acting as an antioxidant

Methylene Blue and pathogens

Methylene Blue can help protect us from diseases, as it interferes with the life cycle of the pathogen and reduces the infectious power of viruses, parasites, bacteria, and fungi such as:

• E. coli
• Candida
• Hepatitis, HIV, Ebola, Zika, West Nile

Methylene Blue in Alzheimer's disease

In late-onset Alzheimer's disease, cells exhibit altered mitochondrial function, metabolic changes, and altered glucose utilization…

Researchers from the Nutrition & Metabolism Center (Children's Hospital Oakland Research Institute, California) report that Methylene Blue extends the lifespan of human cells by improving mitochondrial function by 30% and cellular oxygen consumption by 30 to 70%, and reverses premature aging. .

Methylene Blue in memory and cognition

• At a daily dose of 15 mg, Methylene Blue has antidepressant effects
• Stimulates serotonin with reduced anxiety and depression
• Improves memory recovery speed, mood, concentration, and attention-related tasks

Red light therapy + Methylene Blue = photodynamic therapy

Did you know you can add red light therapy to Methylene Blue to maximize synergistic mitochondrial respiration and accelerate recovery of metabolically defective brain cells?

Methylene Blue in depression

• Methylene Blue has the ability to reduce nitric oxide, decrease stress, reduce neuroinflammation and neurotoxicity, as well as bounce back on depression.
• A study shows that severely depressed patients who received a dose of Methylene Blue, 15 mg. daily for 3 weeks, showed significant improvement compared to placebo

Methylene blue in autism

The hallmark of autism is elevated oxidative stress. A landmark 2010 study at the University of California, Davis (MIND Institute) found that autistic children are much more likely to suffer from a deficit in their ability to produce cellular energy than healthy children (4). “The various dysfunctions measured are likely more extreme in brain cells, which rely exclusively on mitochondria for energy.” (4)

Methylene blue for pain

Research has shown that within hours of oral administration of methylene blue, painful nerve inflammation subsided, often completely with subsequent administration. (5)

Types of pain that can be reduced by methylene blue:

• post-operative pain
• chronic throbbing pain
• refractory oral mucositis due to chemotherapy
• arthritis
• migraines
• chronic low back pain
• pain due to ischemia

The bottom line is that our bodies must be able to produce cellular energy to function optimally. Methylene blue, at low doses, selectively promotes mitochondrial respiration, cellular energy production, and reduces nitric oxide load .
