Methylene Blue is studied for its role in mitochondrial electron transport, antioxidant activity, and cellular energy metabolism. At low doses, it is used as part of physician-supervised cognitive and longevity wellness protocols at Modern Wellness Clinic.
This is a compounded formulation dispensed as part of a physician-supervised protocol. A provider evaluation and medication review are required before dispensing.
Protocol consultations are available via telehealth statewide in Nevada following a full medication review. Compounded capsules can be shipped to your home through our partner pharmacies after a successful evaluation.
No. Methylene Blue has significant interactions with serotonergic medications including SSRIs, SNRIs, and MAOIs, which can cause serious reactions. A full medication review is required before Methylene Blue can be prescribed at Modern Wellness Clinic.
Yes. Methylene Blue can cause urine and sometimes stool to appear blue-green in color. This is a known and expected pharmacological effect at active doses and is not a cause for concern.

Methylene blue (MB) is a synthetic heterocyclic compound with a long history in medicine — it was one of the first synthetic drugs developed, originally used as an antimalarial and urinary tract antiseptic, and later as a treatment for methemoglobinemia. In contemporary longevity and functional medicine, methylene blue is used at low doses for its effects on mitochondrial electron transport, antioxidant activity, and cellular energy metabolism. At Modern Wellness Clinic in Summerlin, Las Vegas, methylene blue capsules are dispensed as part of a physician-supervised cognitive and cellular health protocol — not as a standalone supplement.
At low doses, methylene blue acts as a redox cycling agent, capable of shuttling electrons in the mitochondrial electron transport chain. This means it can step in as an alternative electron carrier when the normal ETC is impaired or inefficient — supporting ATP production and reducing the electron leakage that generates reactive oxygen species. This is the core mechanism behind its use in longevity protocols: it supports mitochondrial efficiency and reduces oxidative burden simultaneously. Methylene blue also inhibits monoamine oxidase (MAO) and nitric oxide synthase (NOS) at certain doses, which has implications for both its neurological effects and its drug interaction profile — particularly with serotonergic medications.
Methylene blue is incorporated at Modern Wellness Clinic within broader longevity and cognitive health protocols — often alongside NAD+ therapy, glutathione, or hormone optimization as part of a comprehensive cellular health approach. It is available in 25mg, 50mg, and 100mg doses. Dosing is determined entirely by your provider based on your health history, goals, and a full review of your current medications. It is not appropriate for all patients and requires a complete medication review before any prescription is issued at Modern Wellness Clinic.

Methylene blue has one of the most important drug interaction profiles of any compound used in functional medicine. Before prescribing, your provider at Modern Wellness Clinic in Las Vegas conducts a comprehensive medication review. There are contraindications that are non-negotiable — they are reviewed below.
Methylene blue inhibits monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A) and can significantly increase serotonergic activity when combined with medications that increase serotonin levels. This combination can cause serotonin syndrome — a potentially life-threatening reaction involving agitation, confusion, rapid heart rate, high blood pressure, dilated pupils, and in severe cases, seizures or death. Methylene blue must not be combined with SSRIs, SNRIs, MAOIs, tramadol, triptans, linezolid, or other serotonergic agents. This is a hard contraindication, not a caution. Your medication list must be reviewed and cleared before methylene blue can be prescribed at Modern Wellness Clinic.
Methylene blue causes blue-green discoloration of urine and sometimes stool at active doses. This is a pharmacological property of the compound, not a sign of adverse reaction. Patients are counseled on this at consultation so it does not cause alarm.
At low doses (typically under 1 mg/kg), methylene blue is generally well tolerated beyond the interaction risks noted above. At higher doses, nausea, headache, dizziness, chest tightness, and increased heart rate have been reported. Dosing at Modern Wellness Clinic stays within the low-dose range appropriate for longevity and cognitive support applications.
Methylene blue is a compounded prescription formulation dispensed only after a full medication review and provider evaluation at Modern Wellness Clinic. Not appropriate for all patients. Purchasing initiates the evaluation process. Your provider will review all contraindications, dosing rationale, and monitoring requirements at your consultation.
