Methylene Blue & Parkinson’s Disease: Neuro-protective Hope or Hype?
🧠 Episode Summary: In this episode, we explore the fascinating world of methylene blue—a synthetic dye turned potential neuro-protective agent. Once used to stain fabrics, methylene blue is now being studied for its ability to support mitochondrial function, reduce oxidative stress, and potentially improve cognition in people living with Parkinson’s Disease (PD). 🔍
What You’ll Learn:
-What methylene blue actually is
-How it supports mitochondrial energy production and cellular health
-Why it’s being explored as a treatment option for Parkinson’s and other neurodegenerative diseases
-Potential cognitive benefits and its role in reducing oxidative stress
-How it’s taken: oral, IV, or sublingual (and what to look out for)
-Key safety concerns and interactions with medications (like SSRIs)
⚠️ Important Note: Methylene blue is a powerful compound with medical-grade and industrial-grade versions. Only pharmaceutical-grade is safe for human use. Always consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new supplement, especially if you're on medications.
🧪 Curious about the research? Methylene blue is currently being evaluated in several clinical trials for its neuro-protective properties—keep an eye out as science evolves.
