Protocol Overview

Low-dose methylene blue as mitochondrial enhancer and cognitive booster. Electron cycler that improves mitochondrial respiration. Pharmaceutical-grade USP required.

Conditions Treated

Cognitive enhancementmitochondrial supportantiviralmethemoglobinemia treatment

Key Resources

Research by Francisco Gonzalez-Lima, Hemo-15 studies, COVID antiviral research, mitochondrial medicine literature

Safety Profile

Contraindications & Risks
G6PD deficiency (causes hemolysis), pregnancy/nursing, SSRIs/MAOIs, serotonin syndrome risk, can interfere with pulse oximetry readings
Important Notes

FDA-approved for methemoglobinemia. Emerging research for cognitive enhancement, mitochondrial support, neuroprotection. Antiviral properties (inhibits virus replication). Used by biohackers. Must use pharmaceutical USP grade. Very cheap (~$20/year). Blue urine is expected. Promising but more research needed for off-label uses.
