📝 Description

Methylene blue is a chemical compound sometimes used as a supplement, with claims of improving mitochondrial function. However, Andrew Huberman expresses caution due to concerns about its potential to intercalate into DNA and cause mutations, as well as its effects on generally healthy individuals versus those with specific metabolic issues. It can also cause a temporary blue discoloration of the tongue.
