What is Methylene Blue?

Methylene Blue also known as Methylthioninium Chloride is an organic chloride salt that appears as a greenish/brownish compound. German Chemist Heinrich Caro discovered Methylene Blue in 1876. It was originally synthesized as an aniline-based dye for the textile industry. Scientist Robert Koch and Paul Ehrlich realized Methylene Blue had potential for use in microscopy to identify bacteria, parasites, and yeasts. Paul Ehrlich coined the phrase “The Magic Bullet” in the 1890’s in reference to methylene blue.

In World War II, soldiers in the Pacific were required to take methylene blue as an anti-malaria medicine. For many years, methylene blue has been on the World Health Organization’s List of Essential Medicines and is used in hospitals to treat methemoglobinemia as well as an antidote for chemical poisoning. Methylene blue is an old compound with many applications, but more recently it is being used to optimize mitochondrial efficiency and improve our health/life span.

How Does Methylene Blue Work?

Methylene blue works selectively in mitochondria, repairing and optimizing their function. In times of aging, chronic inflammation, trauma, hypoxia, and the excess presence of nitric oxide, mitochondrial function becomes compromised. Methylene blue acts upon cytochrome c oxidase, a crucial enzyme in the electron transport chain required for mitochondrial respiration and ATP production within the cell. Without appropriate cytochrome c oxidase function, the cell essentially suffocates, failing to deliver adequate oxygen to tissues and falling short on cellular ATP requirements.

Methylene blue has been shown to extend the lifespan of human cells specifically by enhancing cellular oxygen consumption by 30–70%, increasing heme synthesis, and reversing premature senescence. In lower dosages, methylene blue forms an equilibrium between its oxidized and reduced forms and scavenges the body for cells with damaged or suboptimal mitochondrial function, repairing those first. Methylene blue effectively crosses the blood brain barrier, making it particularly effective for improving conditions of the central nervous system, which rely heavily upon optimal mitochondrial function for energy.
