Dosage Guidelines for Methylene Blue
The recommended dosage of Methylene Blue depends on your individual body weight. To make it easier, we’ve provided a dosage calculator based on a suggested low daily dose for nootropic benefits.
Use the below calculator to find out your dose.
Trial Dosage:
We recommend starting with a trial dose to observe how your body responds. Most people experience subtle positive effects during the trial period. However, a small number may feel slightly fatigued or run down. If you notice mild negative effects, do not increase the dosage. If you experience severe negative reactions, stop taking Methylene Blue immediately.
Key Reminder: Methylene Blue is most effective when taken in small doses. Larger doses do not amplify the benefits, so for optimal results, enjoy the full benefits with a minimal daily intake.
Please note that all dosage information is a general guide only and not medical advice. We encourage you to do your own research and seek professional medical advice to make the best choice for your health.

Single vs. Split Dosage
You have the option to take your dosage all at once (single dose) or split it into two smaller doses throughout the day. The choice is entirely up to you, based on your personal routine and preference.
Keep in mind that Methylene Blue can energise due to improved cellular respiration and optimised energy metabolism.
Rest assured, you’ll experience the same great benefits whether you take it once a day or split it across two times
