They are not similar and they're not interchangeable.
So CoQ10 is, and ask me if you want me to go into even more detail, but if you extract energy from food and then you need to carry that energy through a pathway, CoQ10 is about two thirds through that pathway.
And it's like if you were going down a road and you had to take a shuttle across
the river to get to your next destination and then you go get on the next train or something like that.
So CoQ10 is just part of the transport pathway as the electrons come through that are taken out of food to ultimately convert to ATP.
If CoQ10 is the main ferry, Methylene Blue is this guy running around waving his hands in the air.
You know what Methylene Blue is like?
It's like those fake taxis at the airport where you're trying to go to the taxi line and they come right up to you and they're like, excuse me, sir, do you need a taxi?
But it's like the shady taxi.
So Methylene Blue is like an army of the shady taxis.
And they're like, don't take the ferry, come over here, right?
And so if the ferry is blocked, methylene blue would be great because if there's no taxis left, you'll take the shady way because you got to get somewhere.
So methylene blue, it's operating on the outer edges of the main pathway and it's giving you alternatives.
But the mitochondrial pathway that you were born with is the one that is best.
It's the most efficient one.
So like I was saying before, methylene blue is great if you have a blockage there and you need a detour.
It makes you worse off if you don't.
CoQ10 is โ it's the reason you can overdose on it is because โ
It's like, okay, there's a river and you got to get a ferry going across it.
