Is Methylene Blue Safe? The Truth About Quality & Purity
Methylene Blue (MB) is gaining traction in biohacking, cognitive enhancement, and mitochondrial health, but one critical question remains: Is your Methylene Blue safe?
Not all Methylene Blue is created equal. Many products on the market are industrial-grade, containing heavy metals, contaminants, or impurities that could pose serious health risks. That’s why it’s crucial to choose pharmaceutical-grade, purity-tested Methylene Blue—like HEALR BLU3—to ensure safety and effectiveness.

Understanding Methylene Blue Purity: The Key Testing Parameters
To be considered safe for human consumption, Methylene Blue must pass stringent purity tests. Here’s what to look for:
1. Assay (Dye Content) – 96-100%
A high dye content (assay) ensures purity and potency.
HEALR BLU3: Verified at 99.9% assay, making it one of the purest on the market.
2. Heavy Metal Contamination – The Silent Threat
Arsenic: Must be ≤8 ppm to avoid toxicity risks.
Lead: Should be <0.0005% as even trace amounts can accumulate in the body.
Zinc & Iron: Excessive levels can disrupt biochemical processes.
HEALR BLU3: Complies with all heavy metal safety limits.
3. Solubility & Appearance – Indicators of Quality
Appearance: Dark greenish to dark brown crystalline powder.
Solubility: Must pass USP Turbidity Tests for proper absorption.
HEALR BLU3: Passes all USP standards, ensuring optimal bioavailability.
4. Loss on Drying @ 105°C – Stability & Shelf Life
Must be between 8-15% to maintain potency over time.
HEALR BLU3: Tested at 11.0%, well within optimal range.
Why Industrial-Grade MB is Dangerous
Many Methylene Blue products are not tested for human consumption and may contain:
✅ Contaminants from industrial processing (used in textiles & fish tanks!)
✅ Unknown fillers that dilute potency and efficacy
✅ Harmful levels of heavy metals that accumulate in the body over time
