Do you have any, do you want me to go back to endurance or do you want to have any questions about that?
Do you have any, do you want me to go back to endurance or do you want to have any questions about that?
Yeah, so in the endurance performance world, two things that we're thinking about here. The first is definitely on the endurance side, knowing that methylene blue is going to increase your capacity to make energy aerobically from your mitochondria for longer.

And so I have, I remember when I first started using methylene blue, like three or four years ago, I had one of my early clients taking it and I just had, I'm not really sure how this is going to work exactly. Let's see how you feel. Use it for exercise and let me know how it goes. And then I talked to her a couple of weeks later, she's like, Dr. Scott, I'm never going to not

exercise with methylene blue or like i will always exercise with methylene blue i'm like well why she's like well when i go on my treadmill or maybe it was her stairmaster in the morning it's like i can keep my heart rate up higher for another 20 minutes compared to what i typically can so i can maintain a heart rate for longer without having to stop and this has been repeated now in a number of my clients and a good example would be a guy that i work with here in colorado he did the leadville 100 mile ultra mile ultra ultra marathon here relatively maybe about a

This guy came to me because he was having a hard time finishing the race, and we were giving him 32 milligrams of methylene blue every four hours. So this is more than I would typically give most people, but this is 100 miles, man. This is a huge race, right? And so he was able to cut off four hours of his time as well. And yeah, pretty amazing, right?

And so this is just using methylene blue as an endurance enhancer. So I've seen this also with another friend of mine. His name is Brian McKenzie. who does a lot of work with hypoxic and CO2 training. And so what he's been doing is he'll do hypoxic training, have methylene blue on board, and then do endurance work afterwards.

And he's seen his VO2 max go up like five or 10 points, like not a small amount, by having methylene blue on board, doing hypoxic training, and then doing endurance work, right? And the reason for this, again, is that the cells are gonna be more sensitive to taking up more oxygen after you've been hypoxic. And then you have the methylene blue on board there.

That's going to help with the endurance side, giving you more aerobic capacity. And so that's on the endurance side. And so this is pretty consistent. I've been working, I've been trying to work with a couple, you know, semi-pro teams and things like that, get them more product and work on like, you know, cyclists, especially they're doing a lot of endurance.

But I've had a few that have been interested, definitely people that are doing, like I have a couple, we have a couple of soccer players that are using the methylene blue regularly during games now and seeing significant benefit. So it's fantastic.

And the other piece, which is really interesting, and I was just speaking to another colleague that you know his name, Thomas DeLauer, about this on his podcast. What he's noticed, and I think this is super interesting, is that he feels that for like an anaerobic kind of workout, what he's been able to use methylene blue for is that
