Methylene Blue
Methylene Blue
Boost brain function, cellular energy, and mitochondrial health.
Methylene Blue IV therapy is a cutting-edge treatment used in functional medicine to support neurological health, mitochondrial function, and cellular energy production. As a mitochondrial electron carrier, it enhances ATP generation—the energy currency of your cells—and functions as a potent antioxidant, helping protect brain and nerve tissue from oxidative damage. It has become a valuable tool in restoring neurological performance, improving mental clarity, and promoting overall cellular resilience.
Important
Methylene Blue is not safe for individuals taking SSRIs, SNRIs, or other serotonergic medications. A nurse practitioner visit is required before treatment.

How does methylene blue work in the body?
Methylene Blue acts as a mitochondrial electron carrier, helping your cells produce ATP, the body's main energy source, more efficiently. It also has antioxidant and neuroprotective effects that reduce oxidative stress and support brain and nerve tissue.
Is it safe? Are there side effects?
Methylene blue is generally well tolerated under medical supervision. Possible side effects include dizziness, nausea, headache, and blue or green discoloration of urine. Rare but serious risks include allergic reactions or serotonin syndrome if combined with contraindicated medications.
What should I do before my appointment?
Inform your provider about all medications, supplements, and health conditions. Do not stop any medications without medical guidance. Avoid sun exposure after treatment, as Methylene Blue may increase sensitivity to sunlight.
How many sessions will I need?
The number of treatments varies based on your condition and goals. Some patients benefit from a single infusion, while others may receive therapy weekly or monthly as part of a broader care plan. Your provider will personalize a protocol after your medical evaluation.
How does oral methylene blue differ from intravenous (IV) therapy?
Oral and IV methylene blue both support mitochondrial function, but they differ in absorption and potency.
IV therapy delivers methylene blue directly into the bloodstream for faster, more controlled effects, making it ideal for acute support or higher dosing.
Oral methylene blue is slower to absorb and may be used for maintenance or milder needs. Both require a medical evaluation to determine what's most appropriate for your health and goals.
