Methylene blue supplementation is all the rage now thanks to Robert F. Kennedy Junior, Alex Jones, and Joe Rogan, but can it actually improve your health? Methylene blue is a synthetic dark blue dye discovered in 1876 by German chemist Heinrich Caro. Initially intended for textiles and histology, it has since been repurposed for medicinal applications. Methylene blue is used to treat methemoglobinemia, chemotherapy medication ifosfamide toxicity, cyanide poisoning, neuropsychiatric disorders (including bipolar disorder, depression, and schizophrenia as a potent monoamine oxidase inhibitor), Alzheimer's disease, and malaria. In alternative medicine, it is believed to enhance mitochondrial function and health and is even claimed to have cancer-curing properties. Methylene blue can be administered intravenously and orally, with an oral bioavailability of about seventy percent when in an aqueous suspension. The question arises: should methylene blue be used to enhance your mitochondrial health, or should it only be used by prescription for specific treatment protocols?[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]
