Methylene Blue

METHYLENE BLUE is powerfully anti-aging for the skin. Here's how: Methylene blue applied to skin cells reverses aging. The left two columns are cells from a 30 year old. The right two from an 84 year old. Those blue dots quantify senescence of skin cells, or cellular aging. Methylene blue reverted the aging status of the 84 year old skin cells to that of the 30 year old. Methylene blue also completely protected skin cells from dying and even increased the number of skin cells. If your skin is deteriorating, that is exactly what you want. Methylene blue also increases the thickness and function of the dermis, the layer just beneath the surface This layer is critical for providing nutrients and energy to the surface along with clearing out waste and pathogens, giving your epidermis that glow and smoothness. Methylene blue ALSO increased the hydration of the skin, by improving the function of the dermis, again the layer of tissue just beneath the surface of the skin. Methylene Blue seems to work on a fundamental level to enhance skin health. Collagen is a protein bundle that specifically make up our connective tissues like skin, hair and nails, supporting the structure of these unique tissues. Methylene blue topically applied to the skin actually stimulates the formation of our own endogenous collagen proteins. Fibroblasts are cells that secrete collagen. Methylene blue supports the formation of these fibroblasts in skin, tripling their numbers, meaning we get more skin regeneration. It also helps to heal wounds. In fact, methylene blue can also regenerate the cells of the skin itself, more than doubling the amount of skin cells derived from 84 year old skin cells. Methylene blue is a potent antioxidant in the skin. It even outperforms some of our endogenous antioxidants in that regard. This oxidation is a primary driver behind all aging and degeneration, but especially in the skin where it breaks down the tissue over time. Methylene blue protects against skin cells against potential damage and aging from the UV-B rays of the sun, through this same mechanism. Methylene blue increases the lifespan of cells. During the senescence process, cells stop dividing and essentially wither away. Methylene blue prevents this. This is critical to keeping all tissues regenerating and healthy, especially in the skin. So, in summary, methylene blue: ⬨ REVERSES aging in 80+ year old cells, returns them to a state of a 30 year old ⬨ PREVENTS skin cell death ⬨ INCREASES skin cell numbers ⬨ INCREASES the functioning and thickness of the dermis layer ⬨ STIMULATES the production of collagen ⬨ PROTECTS the collagen producing cells from death ⬨ PROMOTES wound healing ⬨ PROTECTS against UV damage to skin cells ⬨ EXTENDS lifespan in animals ⬨ BOLSTERS mitochondrial function ⬨ PREVENTS the natural decay of cells What more could you ask for?
