wow. thats expensive. im in germany too. if you hear of any other options that arent as pricey please let me know. at the moment im using health naturas but im geussing they might have heavy metal contamination alsoAs far as I know, the "ProveBlue" is the only methylene blue currently available that is manufactured with this new "heavy metal contaminant free" process. Or at least that's what they say.
It's currently still sold as "Methylthioniniumchlorid Proveblue 5mg/ml", is only available with a prescription (at least here in Germany) and expensive (around 50 € for 1 ampoule with 50 mg methylene blue)
Other "Pharmaceutical grade" methylene blue ampoules are easily available without a prescription for whatever reason, but still expensive
"Methylenblaulösung 1 % BLUEtopic" would be one for Germany (60 € for 100 mg methylene blue). It's the same stuff they use in hospitals.
It does have glucose monohydrate as an additional ingredient though, does anybody know how that would effect the shelf life? They say 28 days after opening on their website, that's for use during actual surgeries though.
Not sure how to get my hands on the raw material (pharmaceutical grade methylene blue powder) they use to manufacture these injection ampoules.
"Lab grade" methylene blue powder from chemical suppliers is easily availabable and I've used it in the past, but it's definitely a little sketchy. I assume that's the same quality they use in the fish tank products.
