FAQs

The recommended dose for NEURO PRO+ is one or two tablets a day. Methylene Blue is a hormetic which means that the lower the dose the more effective. Efficacy has been shown between 8mg -16mg.

Methylene blue will most likely cause your urine or stools to appear blue or green in color. Methylene blue is metabolized in the body to leucomethylene blue which is excreted primarily in the urine. This is a normal side effect of the medication and will not cause any harm.

People with the medical conditions Severe Renal Insufficiency, G6PD and Heinz Body Anemia should consult their medical provider before Neuro Pro+.

Women that are pregnant or breastfeeding or may be pregnant should not take Neuro Pro +.

At the doses recommended for NEURO PRO+ there should be no problems for people on SSRI. However, if you are taking an SSRI consider consulting your healthcare provider prior to starting.

Neuro Pro+ has been shown to improve glutathione deficiency, oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, inflammation, insulin resistance, endothelial dysfunction, genotoxicity, muscle strength, and cognition.

Basically, this means anyone who is wanting to improve their brain health and general well-being can benefit from this product.

Methylene Blue – Mitochondrial dysfunction occurs when the number of mitochondria in certain cells is reduced, resulting in less energy to fuel those cells. This results in neuronal loss. Methylene blue crosses the blood brain barrier to start ATP production which is the fuel for mitochondrial energy. It also reroutes mitochondrial electron transfers which may help with increasing the expression of brain cytochrome oxidase. Defects in the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase have been associated with brain/cognition issues. Even in low doses Methylene blue aids in short-term memory task and memory retrieval.

Vitamin C – An essential nutrient of the brain, Vitamin C protects the brain against oxidative stress. Vitamin C also plays a role in the differentiation and maturation of neurons and in the formation of the myelin sheath that protects them and speeds impulse transmission, making the vitamin crucial to cognitive performance. When the brain is injured or victim of neurodegenerative disorders it loses Vitamin C. This allows for increased inflammation and free radical development. Vitamin C destroys free radicals thus reducing inflammation.

At the doses recommended for NEURO PRO+ there should be no problems. However, if you are taking an SSRI consider consulting your healthcare provider.
