Methylene blue was the first synthetic medicine ever created. 140 years later, we're discovering it might be one of the most powerful tools for brain health and longevity. Here's what the research actually shows.
Dr. Francisco Gonzalez-Lima has spent decades researching methylene blue, the first synthetic medicine in history. In this conversation, he explains how this unique compound enhances mitochondrial function, increases cellular energy production, and reduces oxidative stress; all at very low doses.
We discuss the critical importance of dose (low dose benefits, high dose harms), why pharmaceutical-grade purity matters, and how to personalize your dosing using a simple urine test. Dr. Gonzalez-Lima also addresses common misconceptions from failed Alzheimer's trials and explains why those studies used the wrong approach.
Looking ahead, he shares his plans to combine methylene blue with near-infrared light therapy and MCT oil for his upcoming clinical trial on mild cognitive impairment. Whether you're interested in cognitive enhancement, neuroprotection, or healthy aging, this is essential viewing.
