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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
