Methylene Blue's Potential
- Methylene blue, originally a dye, has various potential benefits like improving cerebral metabolic rate and fat loss.
- It modulates the electron transport chain, impacting energy production and potentially aiding in reversing TBIs and neurodegenerative diseases.
Mitochondrial Peptide Caution
- While mitochondrial peptides like MOTC and SS31 can enhance performance, excessive use can overstimulate mitochondria.
- This can lead to increased reactive oxygen species and negative side effects like lethargy and poor cognitive function.
SLU Overdose
- Alex Kikel recounts a case where someone took 100,000 times the recommended SLU dose, leading to severe side effects.
- This emphasizes the importance of proper dosing and individual responses to peptides.
