Methylene blue (MB), originally synthesized in 1876 as a textile dye, is now one of the most potent supplements.
Before discussing its mechanism and benefits, listen to this excellent explanation of MB by Dr. Eric Berg:

Here’s how I prefer to take methylene blue:
- Start with 5 drops (2.5 mg) daily, steadily increase to 12 (6 mg) if you respond well
- Up to 15 drops (7.5 mg) if I have a key outcome that I’m taking it for (anti-infection, cognitive enhancement, etc.)
- I have experimented with 15 drops twice per day and seen diminishing returns. (No additional benefits seen)
The sweet spot for me is 12 drops per day.
I’ve been using it consistently, on and off, for 6 months.
I prefer to cycle MB.
When you come off most of the effects don’t stick around, for periods up to 30 days.
For higher dosages, I take for shorter periods (7-14 days)
Consistent dosage (5-12 drops) up to 30 days.I usually take MB according to my work output:
High work output = I take more
Low work output = I take less (or not at all)
