Methylene Blue

@Tahodama
Several times i've read that milk reduces the effectiveness of many or most medicines, and to take them at very separate times.Whether and how much it may reduce the effectiveness of MB i have no idea, but it may be something to consider.

@Tahodama specific thing that's in milk and cheese. forgot the name.

@CO3 tyramine

Ah, looking it up now. Yeah that explains it. I'm also reading that pasteurized dairy (both present in my smoothie and cheesecake) are low in tyramine, which explains why I didn't feel any symptoms of high BP. I was also taking ~1g of aspirin before bed which may've helped.
Still intrigued I didn't notice any drastic changes in my hormone profile. Or maybe I'm just horribly unobservant. -
Thinking of starting supplementing Methylene Blue as I'm having some low blood oxygen issues. Anybody have some useful info on what would be a good daily dose? Thanks:)
-
@Erika I'd start with 1-2mg and avoid other MAO inhibitors to be safe.
-
@Lothric wow that is a really high dose. I started taking it last week (took one bottle from the lab at Uni) and just 3 drops are enough for me to feel the nootropic effects. The other day I tried taking like 9 drops through the day and i started peeing blue-ish green, so I wouldn't recommend taking that much as you can feel the effect with 1-2 drops in like half liter of water.
Anyways I'm a rookie with Methylene blue it's just my opinion analysing the start of my usage.

@Erika I started a week ago with it, I couldn't find specific recommendations for a nootropic use. I just pour 3 drops in like half a liter of water and drink it with calm without rush. I feel the effects on my cognitive skills so for sure it's having effect on cardiovascular system and cellular levels too. That's my advice as someone that just started. Once i tried to put 3 drops directly to the tongue but the flavour is not so pleasant and you feel the intensity of it too much.
-
@Martiño Interesting, I didn't know the nootropic effect was a thing. Definitely excited if it will have some effect of my mood. Thank you for sharing your experience with it.

I have the mb from Idealabs called oxidal. I only take one drop every other day.
I hear you shouldnt take it with coffee. Yet there's caffeine in the bottle.
How does that work? I have put it in my coffee so I'm wondering if I shouldnt
