Methylene Blue

What Is Methylene Blue?

**Currently offered at our Lafayette location only. Coming soon to our Baton Rouge Location**

Methylene Blue Therapy is an innovative IV treatment designed to improve cellular energy, enhance cognitive function, and promote overall resilience. Originally developed as a medical dye and treatment for certain infections, methylene blue has since evolved into a cutting-edge therapeutic tool—especially when delivered intravenously at safe, low doses.

At Drip IV, we offer Methylene Blue Therapy as part of our holistic wellness approach, helping clients tap into the brain-boosting and anti-inflammatory potential of this unique compound. When infused directly into the bloodstream, methylene blue bypasses the digestive system and reaches therapeutic levels that can’t be achieved through oral supplementation alone. It enters cells and targets mitochondria—the powerhouses responsible for creating the energy your body and brain rely on.

• How Does Methylene Blue Support Brain and Cellular Health?

  Methylene blue enhances mitochondrial efficiency by facilitating electron flow and reducing oxidative stress, leading to increased ATP production and improved cellular energy. These effects help sharpen mental clarity, bolster memory, and elevate focus.

• What Specific Benefits can I Expect from Methylene Blue Therapies?

  Studies and clinical observations suggest Methylene Blue Therapy may improve cognitive performance, reduce brain fog, elevate mood, enhance circulation, and support anti-aging by decreasing inflammation and oxidative damage.

• Who is Methylene Blue's Ideal Patient?

  This therapy is well-suited for individuals seeking mental clarity, increased energy, and enhanced cellular resilience. It may benefit those recovering from brain injury, athletes aiming to optimize performance, people experiencing cognitive decline or fatigue, and anyone interested in longevity and neuroprotection.

• Is Methylene Blue Therapy Safe?

  When administered by experienced medical professionals like those at Drip IV, Methylene Blue Therapy is considered both safe and well-tolerated. We use carefully calibrated, therapeutic doses—typically under 2 mg per kilogram of body weight—to ensure that you get the benefits of the therapy without unnecessary risk. Every infusion is overseen by licensed staff who are trained in advanced IV protocols and committed to your safety and comfort.

  At Drip IV, your wellness always comes first. Before beginning any methylene blue treatment, we conduct a comprehensive health screening, which may include reviewing your current medications and checking for conditions like G6PD deficiency. This helps us ensure that your body is well-suited to receive the therapy and reduces the risk of complications.

  Some clients may notice mild, temporary side effects such as blue-tinted urine, lightheadedness, or a brief headache. These effects are usually short-lived and are closely monitored during your session. For individuals taking certain medications—especially those that affect serotonin levels—we recommend speaking with your healthcare provider and our team before moving forward, so we can tailor your treatment plan accordingly.
