Methylene blue has been in medicinal use for many years with the first therapeutic use as a treatment against malaria, as well as an intestinal and urinary antiseptic. Methylene blue has FDA approval for the treatment of methemoglobinemia. It also has diverse uses in medicine including lymph node mapping and as treatment for poisonings and as an antidote for clinical toxicity.

Methylene blue has a unique dual property. On one hand it can increase cellular respiration energy production but at the same time eliminates the oxidation stress and acts as an antioxidant.

More recent studies are now discovering the profound benefits for memory enhancement and neuroprotection.

Caution is advised when combining it with other serotonergic drugs due to potential serotonin syndrome. Methylene blue is contraindicated for those with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency. Methylene blue is also contraindicated in pregnant women.

Check the dosage calculator and select the “split” dose.

Methylene blue has a unique dual property; on one hand it can increase cellular respiration energy production but at the same time eliminates the oxidation stress and acts as an antioxidant. So it has the benefit of being a metabolic enhancer and an antioxidant.

Methylene Blue stops oxidative damage in cells. 

In more scientific terms Methylene Blue can cross the blood-brain barrier and form a reversible reduction-oxidation system with auto-oxidizing capacity. It also has redox recycling properties in that it facilitates electron transfer in the mitochondrial electron transport chain. This translates to more energy and decreased free radical toxicity for the cell. 

Refer to the Learn page for a collection of research, clinical trials and information on the wide range of benefits of Methylene Blue that continue to be discovered.
