Safety:
Most side effects of Methylene Blue are dose-dependent and do not occur with doses <5mg/kg. In Blue Cannatine, the Methylene Blue dose per troche is 5mg TOTAL and the daily limit is 4 troches per day to stay well within safe levels but also still provide therapeutic value.
Because of the potential risk of Serotonin Syndrome (a life-threatening condition) do not combine Methylene Blue of any dose with SSRIs, SNRIs, or drugs that increase serotonin levels. For all you psychonauts out there considering Methylene Blue, certain psychedelic substances like MDMA and psilocybin increase serotonin and the vine in ayahuasca ceremonies has MAO-I properties like Methylene Blue …so be mindful of what you are stacking/ingesting!
What is a Buccal Troche?
A buccal troche (pronounced Troh-key) is a small lozenge designed to slowly dissolve between a person’s cheek and gum. As the troche dissolves, the ingredients are gradually absorbed through the cheek mucosa directly into the bloodstream over 15 to 30 minutes.
Just Blue Dosing:
Each Just Blue troche is scored into 4 quarters. We suggest starting with ¼ or ½ troche and ramping up from there until you reach your optimal dose. Do not exceed 4 full troches in a 24 hour period. Place the troche between your upper lip and gum and limit movement.
