What is Methylene Blue?

Methylene Blue, also called Methylthioninium Chloride, is a well-known compound with established laboratory and medical uses. It is also discussed in wellness and biohacking settings, particularly in relation to mitochondrial and redox research. Research about an ingredient does not automatically establish that every commercial product has a therapeutic effect, so product quality, strength, interactions and professional guidance matter.

What does USP grade mean?

USP refers to specifications published by the United States Pharmacopeia for matters such as identity, purity and quality. The term should describe the raw material specification; it does not mean that a supplement has been approved to treat a disease. Buyers should look beyond the words “pharmaceutical grade” and ask whether the supplier can provide meaningful batch documentation.

Why independent testing and a Certificate of Analysis matter

A useful Certificate of Analysis can help confirm identity, assay or purity and relevant contaminant testing. It should be connected to a batch or source and should be read together with the product label and ingredient list. Read our guide to Methylene Blue Certificates of Analysis.

Pharmatropia’s current range uses clearly labelled capsule strengths. Do not estimate or alter a dose solely from general online advice; follow the current label and guidance from an appropriately qualified practitioner.

How to compare Methylene Blue products in South Africa

• Identity: the label should state Methylene Blue or Methylthioninium Chloride clearly.
• Strength: confirm the milligrams per capsule, not only the total bottle content.
• Complete composition: check active material, excipients and capsule shell.
• Quality documentation: request relevant laboratory or supplier documentation.
• Warnings: credible sellers should prominently disclose G6PD and medicine-interaction cautions.
• Traceability: packaging should provide batch, storage and business contact information.
• Responsible claims: avoid products marketed as guaranteed cures for complex diseases.
