Methylene Blue is a seriously underrated, surprisingly effective, safe, and very affordable anti-aging agent along with being a subtle Nootropic.
In the cryptocurrency world where I spend some time, there seems to always be a trade-off between three desirable attributes; speed, security, and scalability. In Biohacking, similarly, we often have to choose between safe, effective, and affordable. But, after reading The Ultimate Guide to Methylene Blue by Mark Sloan (who I had a great deep-dive interview with) I was thoroughly convinced that Methylene Blue measures up in all three crucial dimensions, so I've added it to my daily stack.
This article is mostly going to focus on decoding what the human studies are saying about Methylene Blue and how this squares up with the anecdotal experiences of Biohackers online.
History
It's no recent discovery, it's actually been used medicinally for well over a century. The Ultimate Guide explains...
Methylene blue is an inexpensive blue dye developed by scientists in the 19th century for the textile industry. In addition to being a brilliant blue dye for fabric, surprisingly, it was soon discovered to be useful in the scientific laboratory and in medicine. [pg. 8]
Funnily enough, it's what they used to use to make blue jeans blue.
