And so many of us are having a difficult time as we don't have enough antioxidants around to help balance out that stress from making energy. And then on the other side, even before that happens, we can't make the energy effectively because we don't have the vitamins, minerals, nutrients, and cofactors to be able to do that. And so you have this mitochondrial dysfunction.

There's a lot of reasons why this happens. Stress is a huge one. So it could be stress from environmental stress, toxic stress, sleep stress, not getting enough sleep. Medications can do this. Toxins on our environment otherwise. What else am I missing? Infections can cause mitochondrial stress, as well as insulin resistance is actually the number one reason why people have mitochondrial stress.

And that's a huge amount of the US population. So if you're pre-diabetic, if you have insulin resistance, your mitochondria aren't very happy is what it comes down to. And like in seventh grade and eighth grade, when you learned about the cell, you learned that there was a nucleus and cytoplasm and Golgi bodies.

It's kind of my favorite name for any, for any organelles, the Golgi body, I always liked that name. And then endoplasmic reticulum. And then the mitochondria, you saw a cell with one

mitochondria but that's not the case there's some cells in our body have thousands of mitochondria and some cells actually have zero mitochondria the red blood cells in our body do not have any mitochondria they actually got rid of their mitochondria so they can carry more oxygen they initially had one when they first then they first develop and then they lose their mitochondria over time

But the cells with the most mitochondria per cell are the eggs and sperm, the brain, the heart, the liver, and the musculoskeletal tissue. That has the most in reserve. Makes sense, right? Because you need to make a lot of energy fast if you're running from some sort of animal that's trying to eat you kind of deal. And so mitochondrial stress is rampant, okay?

And the methylene blue overall has this capacity to really support the mitochondria. And that's what makes it so powerful, right? And these lower doses, four milligrams, eight milligrams, eight, 16 or so, they're really great at mitochondrial optimization. And then when you get up to about one milligram per kilogram or above, that's about 70 milligrams of methylene blue and above.

That's when you're becoming more anti-infective. That's when you're focused on more chronic infection as well. Not only acute infection, but chronic infection. And then you also have like severe mitochondrial stress, hypoxic conditions, like low oxygen conditions. Because methylene blue can also act just like oxygen in the cells and maintain aerobic respiration for longer.

So I have a lot of athletes that are using it now for endurance, for example, as a result of being able to be able to go farther aerobically when they have methylene blue on board. So in general... Short story, methylene blue is a compound that was developed in 1897 or a little bit before that, but it was the first FDA drug at that time.

It's a mitochondrial enhancer, it's an anti-infective, it's an anti-inflammatory, and it's a redox cycler overall. And so it's got these fantastic capacities.
