In a brief conversational segment, Dr. Joy Kong, MD, rates several popular health supplements on a scale of 1 to 10. She gives methylene blue an 8, noting she uses a non‑staining formulation. Metformin also receives an 8, with Dr. Kong citing extensive scientific evidence of multi‑system benefits, including effects on stem cells. Resveratrol is rated a 7; while she acknowledges strong supporting evidence, she reports minimal personal effect. Finally, she begins to discuss vitamin D3 combined with K2, implying a rating will follow. The dialogue is aimed at a general audience interested in anti‑inflammatory and health‑optimizing strategies.

Methylene Blue.
I'll give it an 8. I like methylene blue, and the one I use does not stain your tongue blue.
Metformin.
I'll give it an 8. There's a lot of scientific evidence for its beneficial effect on multi-systems, including stem cells.
Resveratrol.
Resveratrol, I'll give it a 7. It has a lot of good evidence. I just haven't personally noticed much difference, but I will still give it a 7.
Vitamin D3 and K2.
I'll give it a 7. There's a lot of research evidence, and most people are vitamin D deficient.
