Methylene blue, traditionally used in textiles and medicine, has recently gained attention for its potential cognitive and anti-aging benefits. However, existing forms like liquids or capsules are inconvenient for on-the-go use and may not absorb quickly. A possible solution could be creating chewable gums or lozenges infused with methylene blue, offering faster absorption, portability, and precise dosing for health-conscious consumers.

Addressing the Gap in Biohacking Supplements

Current methylene blue products require measuring or water, making them impractical for busy individuals. Chewables or lozenges could bypass these issues by:

• Speeding up absorption through the oral mucosa.
• Eliminating preparation—ideal for quick use anytime.
• Ensuring consistent dosing with pre-measured amounts.

By targeting biohackers, professionals, and athletes, this approach could tap into a growing demand for nootropics and mitochondrial support, differentiating itself from slower or messier alternatives.

How It Would Compare to Existing Products

Most current methylene blue supplements fall into two categories:

1. Capsules (e.g., TruBlue): Absorb slowly through digestion and require water.
2. Liquids (e.g., BlueBrain Boost): Often need measuring and can be inconvenient to carry.

Chewables could offer advantages like faster uptake than capsules and more convenience than liquids. Unlike general nootropic gums (e.g., Neuro Gum), they’d provide unique benefits tied to methylene blue, such as cognitive and mitochondrial support.

Steps to Bring the Idea to Market

To test viability, one approach could involve:

• Partnering with supplement manufacturers to formulate prototypes.
• Validating absorption rates and palatability through small-scale trials.
• Launching an MVP via crowdfunding or waitlists to gauge interest.

Early focus on regulatory compliance and user feedback could help refine the product before wider distribution through biohacking communities or specialty retailers.

This concept could fill a practical gap in the supplement market by merging methylene blue’s benefits with the convenience modern consumers expect.
