What is it?

Methylene Blue was first discovered in 1876 and used as a dye. Its medicinal and biological properties were later discovered and is now used in the field of medicine as a treatment option for various conditions.

How does it work?

Methylene Blue has been found to affect mitochondrial function, which is responsible for energy production. Overall, it enhances the activity of enzymes involved in cellular respiration, thereby increasing the production of ATP, which is the primary energy source for cells. As a result it brings oxygen to cells while removing excess reactive oxygen, to create a balanced cellular metabolism in the mitochondria.

Which patients may benefit most from methylene blue?

Methylene blue has been found to help with various conditions and its benefits continue to evolve. Some of the most common conditions it helps include:

• Covid
• Alzheimer’s
• Autism
• Depression
• Pain
• Anti-aging
• Fatigue
• CFS
• Inflammation
• Memory Focus and Concentration

Dosing:

As with most medications, there is not a one-size fits all dose. The most successful dosing strategies and protocols of methylene blue for patients are those that can be tailored by working with knowledgeable practitioners and compounding pharmacists who can work to meet your treatment needs. We can compound capsules, liquid and lozenges.

How quickly will it start working?

As the most successful dosing for an individual person can vary, so can the duration of time it takes to feel the effects. The benefits are typically felt relatively quickly, but again, this can vary. A knowledgeable and experienced practitioner and compounding pharmacist can work together with each individual to find their optimal path to improving their health.

Are there any side effects?

Side effects experienced with methylene blue are typically very minimal and temporary. Usage may turn urine blue or greenish blue, and while it turns the urine blue, it is of no medical concern. It rarely causes headache, dizziness, upset stomach, or HERX reaction. As with all treatment plans, it is important to communicate progress and concerns with your practitioner or others that are part of your healthcare team.
