Methylene Blu

In this Decoding Health episode, we break down the trending topic of methylene blue and its emerging role in biohacking for longevity and health optimization. Originally a fabric dye later adapted for medical use in tissue staining and treatments for cancer and neurological disorders, methylene blue is now being explored for its ability to enhance mitochondrial function, boost metabolism, and support cognitive performance through its redox properties. The episode stresses the importance of using pharmaceutical-grade, third-party-tested products due to contamination risks and highlights that oral use is considered off-label. Practical tips are shared, like diluting methylene blue with lemon juice to prevent mouth staining, while also noting side effects like blue or green urine. Listeners are encouraged to do their own research, start slowly, and consult a healthcare provider if considering use, as biohacking responsibly is the key to maximizing benefits without unnecessary risks.
