Methylene Blue (MB, also known as Methylthioninium chloride) is one of the oldest synthetic compounds used in human medicine and scientific research, with a history spanning over 140 years. Originally synthesised by German chemist Heinrich Caro in 1876, methylene blue holds the distinction of being the first fully synthetic compound used as a medicine in human history. It remains on the World Health Organisation's List of Essential Medicines today.
What Is Methylene Blue?
Methylene Blue (chemical formula C16H18ClN3S, IUPAC name 3,7-bis(dimethylamino)phenothiazin-5-ium chloride) is a synthetic heterocyclic aromatic chemical compound belonging to the phenothiazine class. It presents as a dark green crystalline powder that dissolves in water to produce a distinctive bright blue solution.
Methylene blue is a redox-active compound — meaning it readily accepts and donates electrons, allowing it to cycle between its oxidised form (methylene blue, MB+, blue) and its reduced form (leucomethylene blue, MBH, colourless/white). This redox cycling property is central to its biological mechanisms and its long history of use in both medical and research contexts.
A 140-Year History
The history of methylene blue is one of the most remarkable in pharmaceutical science:
- 1876 — First synthesised by Heinrich Caro at BASF in Germany
- 1891 — Paul Ehrlich and Paul Guttmann reported the first use in humans to treat malaria — making methylene blue the first fully synthetic compound used as a medicine
- 1900s-1920s — Widely used as an antimalarial agent before the development of chloroquine
- 1930s onwards — Used in medical settings as a treatment for methemoglobin conditions
- 1970s-1980s — Researched extensively as a biological stain in histology and as an antidote in specific toxicology cases
- 1990s-2000s — Emerged in research contexts as a subject of study in neuroscience and mitochondrial biology
- 2010s-2020s — Growing consumer supplement interest driven by research publications and online wellness communities globally including in Australia
Methylene Blue in Supplement Form
In supplement and wellness contexts, methylene blue is used in much smaller concentrations than its pharmaceutical applications. The two most common supplement formats are:
Methylene Blue Liquid Solution (1% concentration)
A 1% methylene blue solution contains 10mg of methylene blue per millilitre of solution. Supplement-grade 1% methylene blue solutions are typically prepared in distilled or purified water. This is the most commonly used concentration for wellness applications. Our LexonBlue Methylene Blue Drops 1% are available in a convenient dropper bottle format at Health and Heal Supplements.
Methylene Blue Capsules (5mg)
Methylene blue capsules provide a precise, pre-measured dose of methylene blue in a convenient oral capsule format. Our LexonBlue Methylene Blue Capsules 5mg deliver 5mg of methylene blue per capsule — a commonly used supplement dose. The capsule format eliminates the characteristic blue staining associated with liquid methylene blue solutions when in contact with skin.

Methylene Blue in Australia — What You Need to Know
In Australia, methylene blue is regulated by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA). Methylene blue in pharmaceutical concentrations (such as 10mg/mL injection formulations) is a prescription-only medicine in Australia. However, supplement-grade methylene blue at low concentrations is available for purchase as a dietary supplement through specialist supplement retailers including Health and Heal Supplements.
Consumers should be aware of the distinction between pharmaceutical-grade methylene blue products (prescription medications regulated under the TGA) and supplement-grade methylene blue preparations (available as dietary supplements through retail channels). Health and Heal Supplements stocks supplement-grade methylene blue products.
Always consult a healthcare professional before commencing any new supplement including methylene blue, particularly if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medications (including antidepressants, MAOIs, or serotonergic drugs), or have any medical condition. Methylene blue has significant drug interaction potential in pharmaceutical doses — a healthcare professional should be consulted before use alongside any medications.

What concentration of Methylene Blue is in the supplement?

Yes — Health and Heal Supplements stocks LexonBlue Methylene Blue Capsules 5mg with fast shipping to all Australian states. Capsules provide a convenient, no-stain alternative to liquid methylene blue solution.
Can I take Methylene Blue with other medications?
This is a critical safety question. Methylene blue has significant drug interaction potential, particularly with serotonergic medications (SSRIs, SNRIs, MAOIs, triptans, and others). Do NOT take methylene blue with any serotonergic medications without explicit medical supervision. Always consult a healthcare professional before use if taking any prescription or over-the-counter medications.
Why does Methylene Blue turn things blue?
Methylene blue gets its name from its characteristic blue colour. As a phenothiazine dye, it stains biological tissues and organic materials blue — which is why it has been used as a biological stain in histology and microscopy for over a century. In liquid supplement form, methylene blue will temporarily stain the tongue, mouth, and urine blue — this is a normal and expected occurrence with no safety concern at supplement doses.
Does Health and Heal Supplements ship Methylene Blue to all Australian states?
Yes — we ship to NSW, VIC, QLD, WA, SA, TAS, NT and ACT. Free standard shipping on orders over $50 AUD. Fast dispatch from our Adelaide SA fulfilment centre.
