Methylene Blue IV Therapy
Advanced IV therapy to enhance cellular function and cognitive performance.
The benefits
Protect your cells
Protect your cells from damage caused by free radicals. Methylene blue acts as an antioxidant, helping to reduce oxidative stress and support overall cell health.
Boost endurance
Increase production of ATP, which is the main energy source of your cells. This promotes higher energy levels and improved endurance.
Enhance mental performance
Enhance brain performance by boosting cellular energy with methylene blue, which increases ATP production to improve focus, memory, and cognitive function.
Is methylene blue right for you?
Health considerations
Methylene Blue may support*:
- Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
- Neurodegenerative conditions
- Brain injury and/or stroke recovery
Performance goals
Methylene Blue may promote:
- Cognitive performance
- Mood regulation
- Physical endurance
*Evidence regarding the efficacy of Methylene Blue for assisting treatment of neurodegenerative conditions is still emerging. More research is needed to fully understand the scope of this treatment’s potential.
Common questions
How is Methylene Blue administered?
How much does Methylene Blue cost?
Methylene Blue infusions at our NYC clinic start at $450.
Is Methylene Blue safe?
Methylene Blue is generally safe when used properly. However, certain conditions and medications may increase the risk of adverse effects, so it is important to speak to your doctor before starting treatment.
Will I experience any side effects?
Some people experience temporary side effects, like:
– Limb pain or discomfort following IV administration
– Dizziness
– Headaches
– Confusion
– Tremors
– Dark urine
– Excessive sweating
– Muscle contractions
Who should not receive Methylene Blue?
You should not receive Methylene Blue if you have any of the following health conditions or considerations:
– pregnant or breastfeeding
– treating active cancer
– glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (G6PD) or anyone at risk of hemolytic anemia
Take your health further
plasma exchange Therapy
Plasma Exchange Therapy is a procedure that involves replacing your blood’s plasma with Albumin.
- Strengthens immunity
- Slow downs aging
- Enhances overall health
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)
HBOT involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber, allowing your lungs to absorb more oxygen and:
- Accelerates recovery
- Reduces inflammation
- Boosts cognition
