Methylene blue has some legit potential as a nootropic—it boosts mitochondrial function, reduces oxidative stress, and might protect against neurodegeneration. Animal studies and small human trials show it could improve memory and learning, but the evidence isn’t solid yet. At low doses, it’s generally safe, but higher doses can cause issues like serotonin syndrome. Bottom line: it’s promising, but we need more research to confirm its benefits and figure out the right dosage. If you’re thinking about trying it, talk to a doctor first.
