Methylene blue (MB) is a compound used to treat methemoglobinemia, a rare condition that affects oxygen delivery in the blood. MB also improves mitochondrial function, enhances cognition, supports mental health, and reduces inflammation. At Resiliency Mind+Body in Newport Beach, CA, we offer Methylene Blue IV therapy to support overall wellness.

How Does Methylene Blue Work?

Methylene blue restores red blood cells’ ability to carry oxygen. It also supports mitochondrial function, addressing oxidative stress and inflammation linked to aging and cognitive decline. As we age, our body chemistry changes, impacting mitochondrial efficiency, cerebral blood flow, neurotransmitter production, and cognitive function. By targeting mitochondrial dysfunction, MB offers neuroprotective and anti-aging benefits.

Medical Uses of Methylene Blue

Methylene blue is FDA-approved for treating methemoglobinemia but has emerging research supporting its use for:

  • Alzheimer’s Disease: MB may help reduce inflammation, enhance mitochondrial balance, and slow cognitive decline.
  • Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI): Studies suggest MB can reduce brain edema and inflammation, preventing further damage.
  • Stroke Recovery: Research shows MB can reduce brain lesion volume in ischemic stroke patients, potentially improving recovery outcomes.
  • Depression and Anxiety: MB functions as a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI), which may help alleviate depressive symptoms and anxiety by supporting neurotransmitter function.
  • Infectious Diseases: MB has antimicrobial properties that make it effective against bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoa.

  • Cancer Support: MB facilitates NADH oxidation, making it a potential alternative for cancer patients who cannot undergo NAD+ therapy.

Benefits of Methylene Blue

  • Improves Blood Circulation and Oxygenation: Enhances mitochondrial function and oxygen utilization.
  • Reduces Inflammation and Provides Pain Relief: Functions as a potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent.
  • Enhances Cognition and Memory: Boosts ATP production in the brain for better cognitive performance.
  • Combats Infectious Diseases: Effective against pathogens like SARS-CoV-2, Ebola, and norovirus.
  • Alternative Therapy for Cancer Clients: Supports NAD+ levels without promoting cancer cell growth.
  • Supports Mental Health: May alleviate symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress.
