Dosing is everything

Methylene blue requires precise dosing—low doses enhance mitochondrial function as an antioxidant, while high doses cause cellular damage. Healthspan's clinical team creates personalized protocols based on your health profile, optimizing benefits while minimizing risks through careful monitoring.

Rigorously tested for purity and potency

Our medications are pharmaceutical-grade, tested under USP standards for identity, strength, and purity, with routine potency checks to ensure precise, consistent dosing.
background image
Purity Testing

Purity is measured to confirm that nearly all of the material is the active compound. At around 99.5% purity, pharmaceutical-grade methylene blue avoids contaminants that can interfere with its effectiveness or increase the risk of side effects.

Potency Verification

Potency is verified every 3–6 months to confirm each batch remains within ±10% of the intended concentration. For methylene blue, this precision is especially important—too little may limit effectiveness, while too much can increase the risk of side effects.

Heavy Metal Tested

Trace metal testing ensures ingredients remain free from unsafe levels of arsenic, lead, and mercury. For methylene blue, this safeguard is critical. Lower-grade or industrial sources can contain 8–10% impurities, including heavy metals that may accumulate in the body over time. Even small amounts, when taken repeatedly, can increase the risk of inflammation, oxidative stress, and long-term toxicity. By contrast, pharmaceutical-grade methylene blue keeps contaminants at trace levels defined by USP safety standards, protecting both effectiveness and long-term health.

Non-GMO

We work with pharmacy partners who confirm through allergen and raw material declarations that this formulation is non-GMO. Avoiding genetically modified inputs helps maintain product reliability and minimizes potential sensitivities for long-term use.

Great experience with Healthspan

I’ve had a great experience with Healthspan. All of the representatives have been extremely responsive when sending messages on the portal, and I had a great call reviewing my initial labs with Brandon Fell who was extremely knowledgeable and courteous. I’ve started the Rapamycin and Acarbose protocol, and I’m looking forward to seeing what my updated labs will show in a couple months!

Frequently asked questions

What is methylene blue, and how does it work?

Methylene blue is a prescription compound with antioxidant and mitochondrial-enhancing properties. It supports cellular energy by acting as an alternative electron carrier in the mitochondrial electron transport chain, especially under stress or dysfunction.

Is methylene blue safe?

Yes, when clinically dosed. It has a long history of use and a well-documented safety profile. Our oral formulation is tested for heavy metals, potency, and purity.

Will it stain my mouth or teeth?

No. Unlike liquid forms, our encapsulated methylene blue oral pills avoid staining and ensure optimal absorption.

What dosage do you recommend?

Dosing is personalized, typically starting at 5 mg and gradually increasing to a maximum of 25 mg/day under clinical supervision. Low-dose regimens have shown strong cognitive benefits with minimal side effects

What conditions may benefit from methylene blue?

Early research supports its use for cognitive enhancement, mitochondrial support, fatigue, and inflammation. It may also benefit individuals with age-related mitochondrial dysfunction.

Can I take methylene blue with other medications?

Consult your Healthspan clinician. It may interact with serotonergic medications (SSRIs/MAOIs) and should be avoided by individuals with G6PD deficiency.

Is it FDA-approved?

Methylene blue is FDA-approved for specific uses such as methemoglobinemia. Its use for cognitive and mitochondrial support is off-label and guided by our medical team.

Can I combine it with other Healthspan protocols?

Yes. Many patients use methylene blue alongside Rapamycin, Metformin, or Oxytocin protocols for comprehensive healthspan support.

Are there side effects?

Some users may experience mild nausea, dizziness, or headache. Serious side effects are rare when used under supervision. Your care team will monitor and adjust dosing if needed.

How long should I take it?

While short-term use can yield noticeable results, longer-term use may support mitochondrial and cognitive aging. Your clinician can help determine the best timeline based on your goals.

How should I store it?

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct light. No refrigeration required.

Is it safe for everyone?

Methylene blue is not suitable for those with G6PD deficiency or those on contraindicated medications. Always consult your clinician before starting.

How is this different from what’s sold on Amazon or other marketplaces?

Methylene blue sold online is often industrial-grade or not intended for human use. These versions may contain contaminants, synthetic dyes, or inconsistent dosing, and they typically lack quality control or clinical oversight. In contrast, our formulation is pharmaceutical-grade, compounded in U.S.-certified pharmacies, and tested for purity, potency, and heavy metals. It is encapsulated to prevent staining and improve absorption, and prescribed with clinician supervision to ensure safe, personalized use
