I’ve been taking it for just over a week and have been blown away with just how many benefits I’m experiencing! Thank you so much for your thorough report! I always learn so much from your videos. 🙏🏼
I Love MB - been taking it for 2 years (50mg 2xday in my own capsules which is below the dosage for my 175 lbs)) and the one supplement I can really tell that helps me with clarity and definitely my energy level. I just turned 70 and going strong. The only thing is my doctor is trying to determine why my hemoglobin and Red blood cells are below normal. I then read under MB one side affect was reduction of red blood cells on Nootropics website and in David's new book and actually he says so in the video. I wonder HOW it affects red blood cells?. I'm not saying MB is the cause. I actually feel great and with low blood cells and low hemogobin you are supposed to feel fatigued but I don't at all.
Probably due to fact first off all the medical charts and their levels of anything are relative and not always call for panic. Its how you feel that guides the healthy. You body is functioning optimally thus needs less red blood cells and thus your iron count will follow as its in them.
Excellent - I started taking methylene blue shortly after I watched your first program on it. I appreciate all of the corroborating data - the bottom line is that it works. Dosage info was particularly helpful, I think I'll check into the powdered form, as well. Thanks!
Im on amitriptyline for sleep and am great at 3 drops or 1 1/2 mg. So antidepressants may mean you take a lower dose like me. It has been like a miracle to me. Start at one drop and find your sweet spot. At 4 drops my blood pressure raises.
Helps greatly with menopause night sweats i was having them 6 to 7 nights per week since ive been taking mb i havent had night sweats at all in over a month and my cycle seems to be coming back
Methalyne Blue by FAR IS THE BEST NOOTROPIC I have EVER used. Now, this is only 30 day usage experience with an average daily dosage of 2.5mg per day. I will be posting an editorial on my experience soon.
Methylene Blue helps me dump mercury. So I am only using it infrequently. Hopefully as I reduce my mercury load I can start taking it more regularly. I am thinking of pairing it with my infrared sauna blanket.
on interactions, would also consider tramadol. although its considered a pain medication it acts as an ssri and also promotes additional serotonin. personally it worked great for long covid which appears like ME to be at least partly a mitochondrial problem. Sunlight and near infra red also amazing for mitochondrial dysfunction
When do you recommend taking methylene blue first thing in the am hrs right when you wake, or before bed? Because it also helps for sleep but it does power up the mitochondrial so it's going to stimulate a lot of energy so I would think first thing in the morning, correct? There's quite a few bioackers that recommend only taking it a few times per week, but what do you recommend? Every day in the morning or one to two times per day or just a few times per week in the morning? Please let me know. Thank you. I love your channel. I've been following you for years cuz you have incredible info and insight on nootropics!! Thank you, greatly appreciated
Methylene Blue is water-soluble and has a half-life of about 5 hours. So you can dose twice a day. Usually morning and noon. But we have no data showing how long it can safely be used. I suggest if using it long-term that you get your labs done a couple times per year. And keep an eye on your kidney and liver health.
One must say that… it should probably NOT be used as a supplement. The action of MB is quite complex and it functions differently depending on one’s condition. While it CAN have undeniably powerful therapeutic BENEFITS… it IS and should be regarded as a drug. Proceed with caution on use of Methylene Blue and do your own research. There is MUCH to learn
I always say low and slow is best. A lot of people are overly aggressive with supplements, pharmaceuticals, and other things. And they don't take their time to study and ask questions.
Excellent update. @nootropicsexpert . Is it safe to stack low doses of modafinil such as 50-100mg with a 8-20mg dose of methylene blue? There appear to be no clear information on interactions between the two. Would you appreciate your view on this.
This is so detailed I’ll have to listen again and again Thank you Did I hear you correctly say that you shouldn’t take it if you’re taking L- Citruline?
Canadian. This is one of the better videos. Thank you so much! I would love to read your book. “Nootropics Expert” I will also consider booking you for a consult. I want to expand my stack and I also have protocols for my animals. 🇺🇸🇨🇦
You should be ablet to buy Head First 2nd Edition at whatever the major bookseller is in Canada. And I'm be happy to do a consultation with you. Save you a bunch of time and likely a lot of money trying to figure out which are the best supplements for you.
I just took 30 mg of the stuff then I read on reddit that someone only takes 4 mg and has good results. I can't tell any difference yet. I think I'll start with less next time! Do you take it everyday?
Sounds like a very valid nootropic. Does it really turn your urine blue? If so, how long does this last when a person terminates useage. Love your videos and information, well done, very educational.
Most nootropic supplement do not need to be cycled as long as you are staying within recommended dosages. I cannot think of a good reason to cycle Ashwagandha unless that is was works for you. But MB has a half life of about 5 hours. So there will be nothing left in your system within about 10 hours. The days you cycle off of using Methylene Blue are the days you do not get its benefits.
I wonder if this would be helpful in weening off caffeine... or addictive substances in general, given the positive effects on dopamine and serotonin, etc. Caffeine is not doing my nervous system any favors, as someone on the autism spectrum. And I tend to experience withdrawals unfortunately. Any thoughts on this?
So the recommended dose is .5 to 4 milligrams per kilogram of body weight. CTZL says for 1 percent solution to mix 1 gram of powder to 100 ml of water. CZTL says that .5ml of the 1% solution equals 5 mg. So for a 190 lb body or 86 kg woulod be .5*86=43mg. don't remember where I got the instructions for 9 drops of the one percent solution but that would only be 5mg according to CTZL. So how many drops should I be taking?
It depends. MB works for some and not others. Dosage depends on the strength of the solution you are using. Best to check with the manufacturer or wherever you got your Methylene Blue from for dosage suggestions.
I cannot suggest anything else without know what is causing your treatment resistant depression. Best to schedule a consultation with me and I will help walk you through this discovery process.
Is this safe to take if someone is on chemo? My dad has glioblastoma stage 4 and I want to try fenbendazole and methylene blue, my dads memory has started to decline in the last 3 weeks, the tumour is growing effecting his memory
Shane, you need to make sure Methylene Blue is not contraindicated with any drug your Dad is using. Use drugs.com, look up the drug, then click on contraindications and scroll down the entire list to Methylene Blue if it is listed.
Hi.... blessings from Scotland ❤. I was wondering if it would be ok to take Methylene Blue along with other things?.I have just started taking MSM, Magnesium, Vitamin D3and also purchased Lugols iodine which i haven't taken yet as a bit confused on what order to take them. I'm a 64 year old female who is trying to improve my wellbeing as in june this year had a lumpectomy and have declined any other treatments.Also intermittent fasting plus low carb.
So it seems like methylene blue is too good to be true. And I came across a video in a different language that said methylene blue breaks down glutathione in the cells. Is this true? Is this the downside to MB? This seems like a very huge downside….
Thank you for the video --would you think MB is safe to take along with nitric oxide supplements (L Arginine 2000mg, L Citrulline 1000mg, L Carnitine 1000mg)
You really should read Mark Sloan's book bout methylene Blue. He says that it lowers nitric oxide in our bodies, and that is why it is good for us. NO is produced in response to stress and and is not a condition we ought to be in , and that nitric oxide is actually bad for us. I can't go into it here, its too long , but by the time I was done reading why and wherefores of it I was convinced. Skip the citrulline and the arginine and take the methylene blue. They work against one another.
You say that you shouldn’t take if you have any renal impairment. It has made a positive difference to my ckd. My eGFR has improved. Perhaps you mean those with very advanced ckd ?
I am desperate to try MB. I suffer from a closed head brain injury and Lyme disease. My fear and confusion on the safety of taking it is that I also have hereditary hemochromatosis and can find no information on harm or benefit. Please help!
You need to ask your doctor about this because if you cannot find anything that means there is no data available. Chances are good that it is not a problem. But still worth checking with a medical professional who are familiar with Methylene Blue.
@nootropicsexpert Thank you! I have a question about serotonin syndrome, as I understood I shouldn't take this with L-tryptophan or any other similar substance. What about a microdosing protocol with mescaline? If you take L-tryptophan (or methylene blue) daily, and you stop taking them when you use your mescaline microdose, I shouldn't have any risk developing Serotonin Syndrome, right? Because in a microdosing protocol you usually take the substance 2 times per week, I guess stopping taking other similar substances like this or L-tryptophan the same day as mescaline should prevent the risks, right?
There's a sports medicine doctor , Lieaurance, ND , who has a report on methylene Blue and he says the warning to not take MB with Parkinson's meds has been debunked. It does not hurt to take it with the PD drugs.
Likely not a good idea. This is how psilocybin works: pulse.ly/amuxkcch20. I don't think any tests of have done with this combo but it looks like a good chance of Serotonin Syndrome.
@@NootropicsExpert Hi David - do you know what the trigger was that made someone decide to test a cotton dye (MB) for medicinal purposes ??? - this whole MB topic sounds ridiculously interesting !!!
@@NootropicsExpert So maybe there's a general contraindication list for those of us taking other medications? Thanks for this video. I wonder did you mean that combo can cause "Serotonin Syndrome", or was that a joke ;-)?
I haven't a clue but remember no one back then understood how viruses worked or what caused them. They used to try really crazy things to cure disease as long as man has been on this earth.
I've taken it all week, 15 drops in the morning. I have not noticed any effect. Im still highly dependent on caffeine for energy and im anxious and chronically depressed and pessimistic. What am I doing wrong?. My bottle says I'm using 1% usp grade. The only effect so far is my urine is green and my dental crowns have a blue tint that I can't remove.
Don't eat cloves with methylene blue, not that most people would do that but I had been eating cloves before. Then I got mb and by the time I worked up to 12 drops in a days (or .6 of a serving, I became very tired and spiraled into depression which I am recovering from.
That's likely not because you took it with clove - just because you are experiencing that doesn't mean correlation = causation. It's like a herxheimer reaction, because your body is dealing with unloading too much at once. Take your dose back down and start again very slowly.
What about people with Autism?? I didn’t hear anything on this topic. If it works with Alzheimer’s which is an austistic spectrum, I am wondering how this would work in autism.
I doubt it will help with migraines. Go to my website NootropicsExert.com and use the search function top right and search for the keyword "migraine" and see what turns up.
It depends on the strength of the solution. Some will take 90 drops to reach 45 mg. Some more or less depending on the strength. The manufacturer should include this on their FAQ page.
I’m wondering about MB for someone that’s has low bp and literally can’t take a hot bath bc blood pressure bottoms when getting out. It’s happened at other times also but ER found no issues after extensive tests
Serotonin Syndrome is primarily a problem when using Methylene Blue with certain prescription drugs. The only nootropic supplements I can think of that "may" cause problems are St. John's wort and 5-HTP. A distant 2nd may be L-Tryptophan.
The co-supplement that goes well with Methalene Blue with mood control is magnesium...
My personal experience is that MB also helps with candida overgrowth
Thanks for info.
Just got some after research and some chronic issues I have been dealing with that seems mysterious?!)
All labs come clean
I have watched quite a few methylene blue videos. This one is the most informative and easy to understand. Thank you!

Hi all.
Great video.
Ive a question
Does MB impact glutathione and catalase production adversely?
Thanks for any help
Not that I know of.
How many mg in one drop?
I just took 30 mg of the stuff then I read on reddit that someone only takes 4 mg and has good results. I can't tell any difference yet. I think I'll start with less next time! Do you take it everyday?
good information, only one thing i would add in is what Methylene Blue actually IS
Frank, one of the first things I explain in this video is that Methylene Blue is a dye.
Great vid as always. I got some of the CZTL. Any affects on Libido?
Not that I know of.
Not advised for those with /amalgam fillings ?
Can MB be taken safely during prolonged fasting ?
Great info.
Sounds like a very valid nootropic. Does it really turn your urine blue? If so, how long does this last when a person terminates useage. Love your videos and information, well done, very educational.
Drew, it does turn your urine blue and that'll go away once MB is cleared from your body.
MB turn your urine green. Yellow plus blue = green.
Yep it sure does.
How does one avoid staining the teeth and mouth blue?
You don't. Methylene Blue was developed in the 1800's as a textile dye.
Hi David. Does mixing vit c powder with methylene blue to make it clear when drinking it neutralise any of it's beneficial properties? Thank you

Dose suggestions for Parkinson’s disease please? I’m 75kg so how many drops and should I take with vitamin C to enhance beneficial effects
Depends on what works for you. The standard adult dosage is 45 mg per day. But some use more and some use less.

@@NootropicsExpert Hi David! Would taking it alongside NAC be a problem?
Thumbs up and subscribed !
Thank you for the update.
Does it need to be cycled, too?.
I've been doing so with KSM Ashwagandha.
Most nootropic supplement do not need to be cycled as long as you are staying within recommended dosages. I cannot think of a good reason to cycle Ashwagandha unless that is was works for you.
But MB has a half life of about 5 hours. So there will be nothing left in your system within about 10 hours. The days you cycle off of using Methylene Blue are the days you do not get its benefits.
Has any affect on tinnitus ?
I wonder if this would be helpful in weening off caffeine... or addictive substances in general, given the positive effects on dopamine and serotonin, etc.
Caffeine is not doing my nervous system any favors, as someone on the autism spectrum. And I tend to experience withdrawals unfortunately. Any thoughts on this?
There is zero evidence, clinical or anecdotal, that Methylene Blue would help reduce withdrawal symptoms from anything.
So the recommended dose is .5 to 4 milligrams per kilogram of body weight. CTZL says for 1 percent solution to mix 1 gram of powder to 100 ml of water. CZTL says that .5ml of the 1% solution equals 5 mg. So for a 190 lb body or 86 kg woulod be .5*86=43mg. don't remember where I got the instructions for 9 drops of the one percent solution but that would only be 5mg according to CTZL. So how many drops should I be taking?
If 9 drops = 5 mg then 45 mg per day would be around 80 drops. But most find plenty of benefit from less than half that dose.
Thanks!

I have yet to use methylene Blue , but as it is synthesized, why is it contaminated before being used and have to be pharmaceutically refined.
Barry, there is a great explanation in this article on why Methylene Blue is contaminated because of how it is produced: pulse.ly/bjnk57izos
Is Nootropics okay to take if on a healthy keto diet?
If you are already on a Keto diet you many not need to use Methylene Blue.
I made from powder form 1mg in a vial with 100mg water how i can dose it safely thanks
Check with the manufacturer. If it was CZTL they have a FAQ page with that info on their website.
what if someone has MTHFR and MTHFD polymorphisms?
Unknown. There are no clinical studies on it. Maybe someone else dealing with methylation issues can tell of their experience.
Can you safely use this the same day as you microdose banisteriopsis caapi and Bobinsana?
Absolutely not.
What about people with Autism?? I didn’t hear anything on this topic. If it works with Alzheimer’s which is an austistic spectrum, I am wondering how this would work in autism.
I did no rind any research showing Methylene Blue worked for autism.
what daily dose do you recommend
Best I can answer that is up to 45 mg per day. But most find benefits from half that dose.
Can methylene blue treat someone with a TBI and improve their motor functions
I have not seen any evidence the MB can help with TBI. See my video Traumatic Brain Injury for other ideas: pulse.ly/ok6h6ow5m1
How long you can take MB? Please any answer
For as long as it works for you.
There is alot of repetition here. I need info on how to take it.
Go back up and to this section 17:36 Methylene Blue recommended dosage
Would mb help migrane?
I doubt it will help with migraines. Go to my website NootropicsExert.com and use the search function top right and search for the keyword "migraine" and see what turns up.
Can i take it with valium or mirtazapine?
Definitely NO because you'll very likely cause Serotonin Syndrome which is often deadly.
What dosage of methylene blue will fully inhibit maoi?
Jacob, it starts to become a problem at around 2 mg/kg of Methylene Blue.
Ok , now how many drops is 45mg’s
It depends on the strength of the solution. Some will take 90 drops to reach 45 mg. Some more or less depending on the strength. The manufacturer should include this on their FAQ page.
I am taking it right now but don’t notice anything… been taking for a few weeks now. I take 3 drops and it still make the urine blue
You dose is likely too low. Depending on the strength of the solution you are using chances are the recommended dosage is more like 60 drops.
@@NootropicsExpert I am 100 lbs. the bottle has 50 ML.. I paid $30 on Amazon…. It is very expensive
Amazon is not likely a great place to find Pharmaceutical Grade Methylene Blue. But you are correct that nootropics can be "expensive".
I’m wondering about MB for someone that’s has low bp and literally can’t take a hot bath bc blood pressure bottoms when getting out. It’s happened at other times also but ER found no issues after extensive tests
Adding on to above, even getting blood work can bottom him into complete unconsciousness
Mary, if low blood pressure is an issue then this is likely the wrong supplement.
What is MB? What's in it, where is it from?
Watch the video.
I’ve been taking it for two weeks and haven’t noticed anything at all. Does that mean I need to take more?
Clara, you either need to increase your dose or this is the wrong supplement for you.
What happens when i take non pharma grade, is it dangerous?
Ali, non-pharma grade Methylene Blue is at least 10% or more heavy metals which are extremely toxic to your body and brain.
=> NootropicsExpert
Serotonin Syndrome is primarily a problem when using Methylene Blue with certain prescription drugs. The only nootropic supplements I can think of that "may" cause problems are St. John's wort and 5-HTP. A distant 2nd may be L-Tryptophan.
Should I not be taking 5HTP and St Johns wort and methylene blue at the same time? 😅
Absolutely not.
First
Thanks for updating the videos
