How much should I take, when, how?

Methylene Blue Protocol:

  • Dosage: We recommend starting small with as low as 1mg, and over time increasing to around 5mg. Each person reacts different, so make sure to pay close attention to how your body responds. Experiment, play around, and see what dosage works for you. We, the Founders, feel great taking as much as a full dropper, and have even self-experimented with very high dosages, and felt great, however this differs for everyone. Common doses for cognitive or mitochondrial benefits range from 1mg - 15mg, per day - find YOUR dose!
  • Timing: Take Methylene Blue in the morning or early afternoon, as it can be stimulating and may interfere with sleep if taken later in the day.
  • Administration: Mix Methylene Blue in water (not tap water) for easy consumption and a mesmerising display of blue goodness. You can also drop it or spray it directly into your mouth - we advise to do so on the very back of your tongue, and chase it with your beverage of choice after. Be aware that it can temporarily discolour the mouth and urine, this is totally normal due to the intense blue-dye nature of Methylene Blue. If you want to experience the full benefits, yet don't want any discolouration, mixing it with some fresh orange juice does the trick - tastes delicious too.

  • Cycling: As with any supplement, cycling is recommended to prevent tolerance buildup. We recommend a cycle of 5 days on, 2 days off, or 3 weeks on, 1 week off. Periodic breaks of 1-2 weeks every 1-2 months allow the body to reset. While Methylene Blue is not addictive, cycling on-and-off will make you feel the effects better when taking it - remember, it's powerful stuff!
  • Taste (for those curious): Methylene Blue has a very gentle taste, completely tasteless in water or orange juice, however if dropped directly into the mouth you may notice a 'dry', slightly bitter-y taste.
