Commonly asked questions about Methylene Blue

 

Where should we buy high quality CZTL Methylene Blue?
You can purchase Methylene Blue on www.cztl.bz. Our products are tested for heavy metals and we ship the products with the certificate of analysis.

Why should I purchase CZTL Methylene Blue?
Our product is the only one that is:

  • 3rd party tested by a certified lab in the US
  • Certified to be highly pure with minimal heavy metals
  • Very competitive in pricing 
  • Fast delivery
  • Excellent customer service
  • We take full responsibility of ensuring the delivery of the product to your door step

Finally, we pride on being ethical and we do not peddle false narratives about other brands (something that a few of the recently launched fly by night brands/individuals seem to be doing) and always back up our claims with evidence.

We find our resources are better spent in improving our product & services than pulling down other brands with fake/misleading campaigns. 

Do you provide global shipping?
We ship Methylene Blue to all countries globally including the UK, Australia and New Zealand. 

Should I purchase CZTL Powder or liquid Methylene Blue?
CZTL Methylene Blue powder works out to be cheaper than liquids due to a variety of reasons including shipping, packaging and handling. So if you are ready to prepare the concentration yourself, powder will work out to be better. Also, powder can be stored for 3 years and since we ship in multiples of 1 gram, it does make handling very easy as you only need to mix what you plan to use.

However, if you need the convenience of a readymade solution, then liquids are better.

 Other General Questions

How do I distinguish USP grade Methylene Blue vs Non USP Grade Methylene Blue?
The easiest is to ask for the COA and check with the supplier if the manufacturing facilities are ISO/GMP compliant. Also, ask the supplier if it complies with USP standards.

If you have access to the powder form of the product, a visual inspection can be carried out - in powder form USP grade is bronze with a slight shine while non USP grade tend to be brick red in color.
