Pure Methylene Blue USP Pharmaceutical Grade Powder 1g

Description

Methylene blue is currently being investigated as a potential treatment for Alzheimer's by TauRx. But there is also robust evidence that methylene blue enhances mood and cognition in healthy individuals, too. Hundreds of peer-reviewed papers have been published about Methylene Blue's beneficial effects in the central nervous system. Methylene blue putatively enhances cognition through it's pleiotropic neuroprotective effects in the central nervous system, including MAO-A inhibition, amelioration of Tau burden, redox cycling and self-regenerating antioxidant properties. Methylene blue is a potent reduction-oxidation (redox) cycler which enhances mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation by mimicking endogenous electron acceptors like NADH/NADPH. moreover, Methylene blue is capable of auto-oxidation to regenerates itself as an electron acceptor. A deleterious consequence of other antioxidants (e.g., ascorbic acid) is that these species may go on to oxidize cellular components once they have undergone a redox reaction. Though methylene blue has a long track record of safety in humans, the FDA prohibits the human consumption of research chemicals.
