Dosage:

How much Methylene Blue should you take?
Studies show doses between 5mg-15mg are effective for the antioxidant properties of MB so lets talk dosage based on 10mg.  1% Methylene Blue has 0.5mg per vertical drop. 
Which means 20 drops will give you 10mg. 

Daily Dosage for 1% Methylene Blue - 20 drops 
Daily Dosage for 2% Methylene Blue - 10 drops 
Daily Dosage for 3% Methylene Blue - 3 to 4 drops 

What do I mix the MB with?
Firstly Methylene Blue will temporarily stain anything it touches and unless you want a blue tongue and teeth for the rest of the day, dont put the drops directly in to your mouth. It tastes like shit by itself anyway. You can mix MB with water or even a juice (OJ works best to reduce the blue color) and still get the same benefits

When should I take Methylene Blue?
Methylene Blue increases energy levels by improving cellular respiration and optimising the body's energy metabolism, providing a natural boost, so for most people it’s best to take in the morning. However, many people report that it does not affect their sleep when taking in the late afternoon so find out what works best for you. Methylene Blue doesn't contain caffeine or any other stimulants. For people who require focus or focus for a large part of their day, splitting the dose in half and taking it morning and early afternoon may be desirable. Check the dosage calculator and select the “split” dose.

Do I put the Methylene Blue on or under my tongue?
No! Methylene Blue will temporarily stain anything it touches and some don’t want a blue mouth for their day. You can mix MB with water or even a juice (OJ works best to reduce the blue color) and still get the same benefits

What should I expect from using Methylene Blue?
Most notice an increase in energy, focus, and mood almost immediately after trying. A sense of well-being is an easy way to explain the feeling! If you don’t get this feeling right away that is okay as well! Some people start to notice effects after a few days or when they increase the amount of drops.

Will my piss turn Green?
Yes! This is completely normal. It will vary from day to day depending on the dose, hydration levels, and micronutrients in your food intake. Your poo's may also turn Blue-ish

How do I store my Methylene Blue?

Methylene Blue is a stable compound with a long shelf life. It should be stored in a dark, dry, and cool place, ideally between 15-20°C. Refrigeration is not required. The bottles are UV-protected to prolong shelf life and ensure safe transportation.
Even after opening, the bottle should still be kept in a dark place at room temperature for optimal longevity.
For convenience, a single dosage may be pre-mixed with juice or another drink of choice and stored in the refrigerator for later use. However, refrigeration is not necessary for the bottle itself or for daily consumption.
To ensure potency and safety, Methylene Blue should be consumed within two years of the purchase date.

What does Methylene Blue do to my body?

Methylene blue has a unique dual property; on one hand it can increase cellular respiration energy production but at the same time eliminates the oxidation stress and acts as an antioxidant. So it has the benefit of being a metabolic enhancer and an antioxidant.
Methylene Blue stops oxidative damage in cells.
In more scientific terms Methylene Blue can cross the blood-brain barrier and form a reversible reduction-oxidation system with auto-oxidizing capacity. It also has redox recycling properties in that it facilitates electron transfer in the mitochondrial electron transport chain. This translates to more energy and decreased free radical toxicity for the cell.
