Unlocking the Secrets of Sleep: Mechanisms and Strategies
Mark
Reading Time: 7 minutes. Your sleep quality depends on the buildup of adenosine throughout the day, creating sleep pressure that signals when it’s time to rest. Physical activity enhances this process, while caffeine disrupts it by blocking adenosine receptors. You’ll need different amounts of sleep based on your age, genetics, and activity level, with most…

Methylene Blue for Students: Memory, Focus, and Learning Support
Mark
Reading Time: 10 minutes. Methylene blue may support memory and focus at low doses by enhancing mitochondrial respiration, stabilising ATP supply, and modulating task-evoked brain activity. Small randomised trials have shown modest retrieval gains and improved network-specific activation within one hour. Benefits appear to be dose-dependent, with low doses being favoured; higher amounts can blunt…

Methylene Blue Vs Bacopa: Key Differences for Cognitive Enhancement
Mark
Reading Time: 7 minutes. Methylene blue modulates mitochondrial respiration through redox cycling, enhances NADH oxidation, and increases ATP efficiency; it also inhibits MAO-A, thereby posing a risk of serotonin toxicity. Low hormetic doses (<30 mg/day) show improved memory and attention, with a noted 8% reduction in cerebral blood flow at cognition-relevant doses. Bacopa, an herbal…
