Hello!
I wonder if anyone knows if methylthioninium chloride (A.K.A methylene blue) increases methylation, and if so, at what dosages it would exert that effect. I read someone claiming methylene blue donates methyl groups and increases methylation, that's why I would like to have some clarification on this (I'm trying to avoid overmethylation). Thank you.

Using Methylene Blue As A Brain Fog Treatment
"You must understand that methylene blue, apart from all its other wonderful healing effects, directly effects the body's methylation cycle in a very positive way. That means that it will improve glutathione production thereby improving the body's detox capabilities, increases methyl transferase production, regulates dopamine and norepeniphrine, regulates homocysteine, works as a primary antioxidant, helps to prevent aberrant gene mutations, increases energy and does a whole host of other critical jobs in the body. MB works this way because it increases methyl groups in the body. The methyl group is the key organic molecule that is the primary building block for all organic life forms.
When I had a quick look at the Methylene Blue molecule I saw that it had not one but three methyl groups on its outer ring. It also contains sulfur, always useful for the body. That also makes methyene blue a prime donator of methyl groups in the body. This is hugely important. Most people know how important certain nutrients are like Vitamin C, B Vitamins, bioflavinoids, minerals etc. But few people really understand the detrimental effects of both under- or over-methylation in the body."
"If you take too much MB and this causes you anxiety or you cannot sleep then just take larger dose niacin -- 500 mgs. The niacin is a methyl sink that will remove any excess methyl groups from the body and relax you whenever this is needed. Niacin, at higher dosage, has also frequently been used for anxiety disorders and mental disorders for similar reasons due to over-methylation problems or due to blocked methylation pathways."
