What is this medication?
Methylene Blue is a salt used for many medical uses as well as non-medical uses. In capsule form as a medication, it is used in specialized therapies to support cellular energy production, brain function, and overall metabolic health. It acts as a redox agent, meaning it can assist your cells in generating energy more efficiently, and it has antioxidant properties that help protect against oxidative stress. When prescribed at low, controlled doses, methylene blue may help promote mental clarity, focus, energy and mood support.
Ingredients:
Methylene Blue – A pharmaceutical-grade compound with potential neuroprotective, antioxidant, and mitochondrial-supportive effects.
