Methylene Blue has been trusted in medicine for more than 100 years and continues to be studied for how it works inside the body.
✅ Cellular Science: Researchers have found that Methylene Blue helps cells use oxygen more efficiently by supporting normal energy production inside the mitochondria — the “powerhouses” of our cells (Atamna et al., PNAS 2008; Rojas et al., Front. Cell. Neurosci. 2016).
🧠 Brain Research: Because it can cross into the brain, scientists are studying how it may influence memory and focus. In a placebo-controlled human study, a low dose of Methylene Blue improved brain network activity and memory performance (Rodriguez et al., Radiology 2016).
⚕️ Medical Use: Methylene Blue is FDA-approved to treat methemoglobinemia, a rare blood condition that affects how the body carries oxygen. It’s also used in hospitals as a surgical dye to help doctors safely identify tissues during certain procedures.
Ongoing research continues to explore other possible benefits, but these additional uses have not been evaluated or approved by the FDA.
