Hi All,
I realized in several months of using 20mg/day of methylene blue that the degree of the blue color of the urine is highly dependent on some supplements and likely overall stress.
When I ingest 10 g of baking soda several hours after the 20mg methylene blue, my urine turns within 1h from blue to normal color. Without backing soda, the urine would stay blue (slowly decreasing) for several more hours. I know baking soda reduces MB, but I’m surprised this would also happen inside the body.
Does anyone know if the MB is still active in the tissue? Does the reduced MB form have similar effects on the mitochondria?
As a side note - apart from baking soda, I observed that on a few days, I need 40mg to get to the same level of blue urine color, and sometimes the color is greenish instead of blue. I guess this is related to the overall state of my body and some of the supplements I’m taking with their various antioxidant/pro-oxidant activities. I would like to understand this better but didn’t find the time to see if there are any scientific studies around this. In think that the urine color after MB exposure could be a dose-dependent biomarker for some health-related aspects.
