Methylene blue is a medication that treats methemoglobinemia, a rare blood condition that impacts how blood delivers oxygen throughout the body. By improving cellular and mitochondrial function in the brain, methylene blue can also enhance cognition and mood, help combat infectious diseases and reduce inflammation. It can also be used as an alternative to NAD+ therapy for cancer clients.

How Does Methylene Blue Work?

The primary role of methylene blue is to convert red blood cells into a form that can carry and release oxygen. Essentially, it turns oxygen-containing red blood cells back into their normal state. It is often used to manage and treat methemoglobin levels greater than 30% or people with symptoms despite undergoing oxygen therapy. Health professionals must oversee the administration of methylene blue, typically via an injection.

As we age, our body chemistry and blood flow naturally decrease, impacting the following:

Mitochondrial function
Memory, attention and mental alertness
Cerebral blood flow
Neurotransmitter production
Brain cell free radical damage
Neurotransmitter production

Mitochondrial dysfunction plays a central role in the development of oxidative stress and neuroinflammation, which can lead to brain disease. By targeting mitochondria, methylene blue can address oxidative damage, inflammation and subsequent behavioral symptoms associated with growing older.

Medical Uses of Methylene Blue

Methylene blue has two primary uses. The first is as a dye to identify abnormal cells. The second is as a medication to treat various health conditions. Methylene Blue is FDA-approved to treat methemoglobinemia but also shows promise in treating conditions like:

Alzheimer’s disease: Methylene blue shows promise in treating neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer’s. Many mitochondria-related changes are observed in brain diseases, such as inflammation, decreased oxygen and impaired balance of mitochondrial fission and fusion. By targeting these changes, researchers believe methylene blue could potentially treat Alzheimer’s and other brain diseases.
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI): Methylene blue can also treat TBIs by reducing brain edema and inflammation while slowing further damage that can develop after a brain injury. Ultimately, it shows promise in healing TBIs by increasing oxygen to the body and brain.
Stroke: Many studies reveal the effectiveness of methylene blue on ischemic stroke. An animal study found long-term oral methylene blue treatment could reduce brain lesion volume in the chronic phase of a stroke.

Methylene Blue Side Effects

It’s essential to be aware of drug interactions and potential side effects of methylene blue. Before it is administered, give your health provider a complete list of all medicines, nonprescription drugs or dietary supplements you take. It’s also crucial to disclose whether you drink alcohol or smoke, as some items can interact with your medicine.

Health professionals will supervise the administration of methylene blue and monitor you for any symptoms. Some side effects of methylene blue won’t require medical attention and may go away as your body adjusts to the medicine. Check with your health care provider if any of the following side effects continue:

Change or loss of taste
Feeling hot or cold
Changes in skin color
Increased sweating
Pain at the infusion site
Muscle or joint pain

Improves Blood Circulation and Cellular Oxygen

As we age, mitochondrial dysfunction can affect our tissues, including the brain and skin. This causes increased oxidative stress, resulting in neurodegeneration, memory loss and skin aging. Rodent studies suggest a low dose of MB could increase cognitive blood flow and enhance cellular oxygen consumption, making it great for anti-aging. As an antioxidant, methylene blue helps neutralize free radicals, lessening the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while protecting cells from damage caused by oxidative stress.

Reduces Inflammation and Provides Pain Relief

Inflammation due to aging or overload leads to an increase in oxidative stress in the body. Methylene blue is a potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent that can help reduce inflammation that damages bodily organs. One study found that it could reduce inflammation and relieve pain in patients with colitis and osteoarthritis. Another found that methylene blue could prevent the progression of osteoarthritis.

Enhances Cognition and Memory

Methylene blue has been shown to have positive effects on memory enhancement. By reducing oxidative stress and protecting cells from mitochondrial dysfunction, MB can potentially prevent memory loss. It increases ATP production in the brain, giving it the necessary energy for better brain performance. This makes MB an option for anyone seeking to enhance their focus, memory and overall cognition.

It might also help prevent age-related cognitive decline and disorders like dementia. Studies have found MB could reduce motor impairment associated with Parkinson’s. However, more evidence is still needed to confirm the effectiveness of MB as a treatment for this disease.

Combats Infectious Diseases

Methylene blue has antimicrobial properties, making it effective against various pathogens. When combined with photochemical treatments of surfaces, MB is highly effective against viruses, parasites, bacteria, fungi, protozoa and even tumor cells. Growing research shows it triggers the release of oxygen to eradicate harmful pathogens like Sars-CoV-2, Ebola virus and norovirus, making the combination of MB and photochemical treatments promising for many medical applications.

Offers an Alternative Treatment for Cancer Clients

Methylene blue facilitates NADH oxidation, which increases NAD in the body. NAD is a coenzyme central to metabolism that supports brain, heart and mental health. Since methylene blue can alleviate side effects associated with chemotherapy and radiation, this makes it a good treatment for cancer patients who cannot do NAD+ therapy, which has the potential to multiply cancer cells.

Supports Mental Health

MB is a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI), an effective depressant. A 3-week trial found methylene blue significantly improved the symptoms of patients with severe depression. MB has been shown to increase brain cell life span by improving mitochondrial efficiency and respiration — supporting memory and mood. While research is still growing on its benefits, MB shows promise in helping patients reduce depressive symptoms, alleviate stress and anxiety and enhance overall well-being.
Tesamorelin is typically administered via subcutaneous injection. This method ensures that the peptide is absorbed effectively into the bloodstream for optimal results.

It is mandatory to cycle the use of Tesamorelin, such as 5 days on followed by 2 days off, for 8 weeks, followed by a break. This approach may helps to minimize potential side effects and maintain effectiveness.

**Based on standard dosing recommendations, more than (1) vial of Tesamorelin is required to complete a full cycle.
