Methylene Blue

Old pharmaceutical dye/drug with mitochondrial and antioxidant properties at low doses, explored off-label by biohackers for cognition and energy; also used clinically for methemoglobinemia.

CategorySupplements / Vitamins
Typical routeOral
Half-life~5-6.5 hours
Common dose range0.5-4 mg/kg in clinical use; biohacker doses are typically much lower and not standardized
Typical cycle lengthNot well established for off-label cognitive use

BioHack Track models Methylene Blue at a half-life of 6 hours, so every dose you log is decayed against that curve and the app shows what is still circulating — not just what you typed.

Reconstitution

Pharmaceutical-grade liquid or capsules; dosing precision matters since it's active across a wide range.

Storage

Store away from light.

Cautions

Serious risk of serotonin syndrome if combined with SSRIs/SNRIs/MAOIs — this interaction is well documented and dangerous. Only use pharmaceutical-grade (not aquarium/industrial-grade) product.

Track Methylene Blue in BioHack Track. Half-life, dose range and route come pre-filled from this library — log a dose and the app counts your vial down, models what is in your system, and puts it on the same chart as your labs and body composition.
