In the search for ways to improve memory, focus, and overall brain performance, one unexpected candidate has resurfaced with promising results — a vivid blue compound called methylene blue. Initially developed in the 19th century as a fabric dye, methylene blue quickly became a medicine for treating malaria and certain blood disorders. Today, researchers are rediscovering this compound for its potential to support cognitive function, especially when used in very small doses. One of the most compelling benefits of methylene blue is its ability to enhance the function of mitochondria, the tiny energy factories inside our cells. The brain consumes a tremendous amount of energy, and methylene blue appears to improve how efficiently brain cells produce and use that energy, potentially leading to greater mental clarity and focus. Beyond boosting energy production, methylene blue also has antioxidant properties, which help protect brain cells from damage caused by oxidative stress, a key contributor to aging and neurodegeneration. By reducing the burden of oxidative stress, methylene blue may help preserve the health of neurons over time. Studies on Methylene Blue Treatment Methylene blue’s effect on memory and brain activity is perhaps even more exciting. In a 2016 study published in Psychopharmacology, healthy...

Alzheimer’s disease is one of the most prevalent neurodegenerative disorders, affecting millions worldwide. With no cure currently available, researchers are exploring various treatment avenues—including an unexpected candidate: Methylene Blue (MB). What is Methylene Blue? Methylene Blue is a well-known compound with a long history in medicine. Originally used as a dye and antiseptic, it has been FDA-approved for treating conditions like malaria and certain psychiatric disorders. More recently, researchers have been investigating its potential neuroprotective effects, particularly in Alzheimer’s treatment. How Might Methylene Blue Work Against Alzheimer’s Disease? Alzheimer’s disease is characterized by neurofibrillary tangles (clumps of tau protein) and beta-amyloid plaques in the brain. These abnormal protein accumulations disrupt normal neural function, leading to memory loss and cognitive decline. Studies suggest that MB may help combat Alzheimer’s disease through several mechanisms: Prevents Tau Aggregation – MB appears to inhibit tau protein clumping, a key factor in Alzheimer’s progression. Reduces Oxidative Stress – It has antioxidant properties that may protect neurons from damage. Improves Mitochondrial Function – MB may enhance brain cell energy production, potentially slowing cognitive decline. What Do Clinical Trials Show? A review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) showed promising but mixed results. Five out of six RCTs...

We are pleased to announce the availability of pharmaceutical-grade methylene blue, designed to address a wide range of medical conditions and complaints. Methylene blue is popular in medicine right now because it can do so much and is one of the safest and most effective medicines available. Methylene blue (MB) is a synthetic compound with a variety of biological and medicinal applications. It was first synthesized in 1876 as a textile dye but later found uses in medicine, including treating methemoglobinemia, malaria, and neurological conditions like Alzheimer’s disease. MB has unique physicochemical properties, including its ability to act as a redox agent, cycling between oxidized and reduced forms, which underlies many of its effects. Methylene Blue Side Effects and Dosage Methylene Blue is generally safe at low doses, but high doses can lead to side effects such as gastrointestinal distress and methemoglobinemia. It should be used under medical supervision because some medications can interact with it. Patients must be screened for a G6PD deficiency before undergoing MB at higher doses. The dose is determined by the medical condition being treated, as well as the patient's age, weight, and other factors. Its versatile properties make it a candidate for ongoing research...

NAD stands for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. It is a coenzyme found in all living cells and plays a crucial role in various metabolic processes, including energy production, DNA repair, and cell signaling.  There have been clinical trials in humans using oral NAD, NMN and other precursors. However, the effects of intravenous NAD are immediately noticeable. What is the significance of NAD in aging? NAD levels decline with age, contributing to various age-related diseases and the aging process itself. Boosting NAD levels has shown promise in preclinical studies for improving mitochondrial function, reducing inflammation, and protecting against age-related decline. What are NAD precursor vitamins? NAD precursor vitamins are compounds that can be converted into NAD within the body. These include tryptophan, NA, NAM, nicotinic acid riboside (NaR), NMN, and NR. What are the therapeutic potentials of NAD boosting strategies? Increasing NAD levels has shown therapeutic potential in preclinical studies for various conditions like metabolic disorders, cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, and acute kidney injury. What are the known effects of NAD boosting molecules in humans? Niacin, an NAD+ precursor, has been shown to reduce total cholesterol (TC) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) in individuals with dyslipidemia. It has also been associated with improvements...

A recently published study showed significant improvement in symptoms and immune function in a small group of people diagnosed and being treated for Lyme disease. This is groundbreaking since very few studies are conducted on natural treatments for Lyme disease and the symptoms of the disease can be debilitating. Lyme disease is caused by the spirochete, Borrelia Burgdorferi (B. burgdorferi) and tick-borne illness is rapidly increasing world-wide with over 400,000 new cases reported yearly in the US. As many as 50% of those treated with a standard protocol of antibiotics report persistent or recurrent symptoms six months after the end of treatment. Herbal remedies can be very effective treatment due to their anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and immune-boosting properties. However, very few studies exist on the specific action of herbal remedies against B. Burgdorferi. The Complexity of Lyme Disease To get a better understanding of the spirochete and how it affects the human body, a group of researchers deciphered its genome. They thought the project would only take days, but instead it took them years due to its complexity. The Borrelia spirochete is composed of one chromosome, however that chromosome is shredded, meaning it is made up of 20 or more plasmids—small...
