Introduced by German chemist Heinrich Caro as a textile dye in the 19th century, methylene blue soon attracted the interests of notable scientists like Robert Koch and Paul Ehrlich. Recognizing its unique antimicrobial properties, they helped transition it from textile labs to medical clinics. By the early 20th century, methylene blue had gained recognition as an innovative malaria treatment, a role it continues to have today. Methylene blue may also offer a wide range of other significant health benefits, beyond fighting infections. By acting as an “electron donor”, methylene blue supercharges your mitochondria, or the powerhouses of your cells. Join me as I sit down with Dr. Scott Sherr, MD, and explore how this incredible compound is currently being used to treat chronic illness, boost cognitive functioning, improve energy, reduce inflammation, and even offer anti-aging benefits.

As you approach 30, there’s a subtle form of aging that starts before you even notice it, and you should know about it BEFORE it picks up momentum: senescent cell accumulation. These cells start accumulating in us over time, draining our energy and accelerating aging, contributing to typical aging symptoms like reduced energy, slower recovery, and joint discomfort. Qualia Senolytic combines 9 vegan, plant-derived compounds to help your body naturally eliminate senescent cells, that help us age better at the cellular level so we can feel YEARS younger!
