Methylene Blue is a synthetic compound known for its vibrant blue color and diverse applications, including as a medication and dye. Traditionally used in medical settings to treat conditions like methemoglobinemia, it has recently gained interest for its potential benefits in promoting cellular health, enhancing cognitive function, and supporting overall wellness. Talk to your healthcare provider to see if Methylene Blue is right for you.
Who can benefit from using Methylene Blue?
Early research, including preclinical and limited clinical studies, suggests that Methylene Blue can support energy metabolism and cognitive performance. It may be particularly beneficial for those looking to increase energy, sharpen mental clarity, and support long-term brain health. While these applications are promising, they remain off-label uses, and further research is needed to fully understand Methylene Blue’s potential.
Will ProHealth’s Methylene Blue stain my mouth?
No, our Methylene Blue comes in capsule form, so it is swallowed whole and does not come into direct contact with your mouth or teeth. Unlike liquid or compounded versions that may cause staining, our capsules prevent discoloration while ensuring effective absorption.
What are the potential side effects of Methylene Blue?
While Methylene Blue is generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience mild side effects, including headache, nausea, dizziness, or gastrointestinal discomfort. Additionally, it can cause temporary changes in urine and stool color, turning them blue or blue-green, which is harmless but noticeable. People with G6PD deficiency should avoid Methylene Blue due to an increased risk of hemolytic anemia. It may also interact with certain medications, particularly antidepressants like SSRIs and MAOIs, potentially leading to serotonin syndrome.
How long does it take to receive my medication?
Once your doctor’s approval is secured—typically within 4 hours on weekdays or 12 hours on weekends—your order will ship via two-day expedited delivery.
Is Methylene Blue FDA-approved?
Methylene Blue is FDA-approved for specific medical uses, such as the treatment of methemoglobinemia. However, its application for cell health, cognitive enhancement, and general wellness is considered off-label. If you're considering methylene blue for these purposes, it's important to consult with a qualified healthcare provider to determine if it's appropriate for your individual needs.
