In the early 1900s, it was tested for schizophrenia. Today, it is being studied for mild cognitive problems, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and other brain diseases linked to mitochondrial issues. Since brain cells rely heavily on mitochondria for energy, Methylene Blue helps by improving mitochondrial function, acting as an antioxidant, and extending brain cell life.

But 360 mg of MB is much too high even if you’re 200 lbs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is no set recommended dose for Methylene Blue. Start with a low dose of 0.5 mg\/kg and see how you respond before taking more. It is water-soluble, so it doesn’t need to be taken with food or fat. Its effects last about 5 hours, allowing for twice-daily dosing. Higher doses (over 500 mcg) may cause blue urine, which can sometimes be prevented by mixing with ascorbic acid before use.
