Discussion
Not for nearly a month now.
Are you using the methylene blue to reduce NO? Caffiene has that effect, but MB looks like a better strategy.
Been off coffee recently, gut health has noticeably improved.
Gut was the first thing I noticed. General level of anxiety way lower. Sleep easier and more restorative. My goal state is: the health and easy happiness of a young child.
For me it was the opposite. I now drink only high quality filter coffee, strictly black only, instead of burnt "espresso" with dairy (never had any sugar to begin with) and my gut has improved dramatically.
I have one cup in the morning and one after lunch and I'm feeling better than ever.
Certainly your gut will feel better relatively with the best coffee you can source and a sensible brewing method. Blue Bottle + cold brew had the least impact on my gut.
Love the goal.
Yes background / baseline anxiety way down as well.
Yes, amongst other things. Just finished a 150ml bottle. Will do another in the new year. Cycling. Maybe 1 a quarter for a year or two.
Is there reason to only take it intermittently?
Totally. In fact, that's probably the preferred route.

How many ml were you doing a day?
The bottle contained 30ml and it lasted about a month. On the label it says a full dropper is 5mg and I did 10mg every morning.

My bottle is measured in ml, so I'm trying to count the drops.
Looks like some math is in order. I recommend starting with 1mg and working your way up to 10mg. Do you have a micro gram scale?
No, just grams.
What differences did you notice after finishing the bottle? I've been taking it every day for a week at a low dose (20 mgs) and don't really know what to look for.
