The world of sports pharmacology is constantly evolving. Ten years ago, protein and creatine were the main tools athletes used. Today, however, researchers are increasingly turning their attention to peptide compounds – short chains of amino acids that can specifically influence metabolism, recovery, and energy supply to cells. Among the most promising molecules currently under…

Methylene blue (3,7-bis(dimethylamino)phenothiazine-5-ium chloride) is a compound with one of the longest and most remarkable histories in pharmacology. Synthesized by Heinrich Caro in 1876 for the textile industry, it became the first completely synthetic drug used in clinical medicine: Paul Ehrlich used it to treat malaria as early as 1891 – two decades before aspirin…
