There are undeniable health benefits when it comes the methylene blue; most notably, its profound impact on the mitochondria. Secondary to that, people are understandably going to be excited and compelled to seek out a methylene blue supplement to start accruing those advantages. And as with any supplement... the quality matters!When it comes to the quality of methylene blue for human consumption, it is incredibly imperative. The fact of the matter is that supplements can say that they utilize USP grade methylene blue, yet the lab results still show heavy metals — like mercury, lead and others — can still be higher than what you want to put in your body. I discuss this issue, which is likely more prevalent than we would all like to believe. However, it does verify the high-quality, ultra-pure methylene blue and leucomethylene blue that is sourced for BioBlue products. I also cover two very interesting photobiomodulation research articles that look at unique aspects, and potential benefits, of red light therapy that have not been discussed before.The first article looks at osteoporosis in individuals with complete spinal cord injuries. However, the profound takeaway from that study is about serum vitamin D levels. The second study sheds light on photobiomodulation's impact on blood glucose levels. If more research can verify what was found, the demand for red light therapy will skyrocket (via pre-diabetics and diabetics).
