Description
Methylene Blue 20mg Capsules — 60 Count
Methylene Blue (Methylthioninium Chloride) is a synthetic heterocyclic aromatic compound classified as a phenothiazine dye, originally synthesized in 1876 by Heinrich Caro. With the molecular formula C₁₆H₁₈ClN₃S, Methylene Blue is one of the oldest and most extensively characterized synthetic dyes in chemistry literature and has been the subject of extensive cellular biology and biochemical research literature examining electron transfer chemistry, cellular redox biology, and mitochondrial cellular biology.
Each bottle contains 60 oral capsules of Methylene Blue at 20mg per capsule (1200mg total), verified through Mile High Compounds’ three-tier quality protocol: 7x independent third-party analytical testing, 4-vial batch conformity verification, and comprehensive heavy metal screening.

The compound represents a foundational reference material in cellular redox research and histochemistry. Foundational research is available through PubMed (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov) and the National Institutes of Health’s PMC database (pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov), where researchers can access peer-reviewed studies on Methylene Blue cellular biology and phenothiazine chemistry research.
Analytical Verification
Every batch undergoes Mile High Compounds’ comprehensive analytical protocol:
- High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) for purity quantification
- Mass Spectrometry (MS) for molecular weight and identity confirmation
- 14-day sterility testing
- Endotoxin analysis
- 4-vial batch conformity verification — statistically robust consistency testing across each production batch, exceeding the industry-standard single-vial sampling approach
- Heavy metal screening for lead, arsenic, cadmium, mercury, and additional trace metals
- Container and seal integrity verification
Batch-specific Certificates of Analysis (COAs) accompany every order, documenting full testing results across all verification protocols.
Storage and Handling
- Storage temperature: Store sealed in a cool, dry location away from direct light
- Long-term storage: Room temperature (15-25°C) in original sealed bottle, or refrigerated at 2-8°C for extended storage
