Melanotan

Whoever you order from, MT-2 will arrive to you as a lyophilized (or freeze-dried) white crystalline powder in the vials. It is very cold when it arrives. Melanotan when in its lyophilized state lasts slightly over a year in your freezer. So you will store Melanotan in your freezer.

Vials are generally aliquoted to have 10 mg of Melanotan per vial. So if you order 40 mg, you receive 4 vials. Once you receive your vials of Melanotan, you will reconstitute ONE of them and put the others in the freezer, keeping them (lyophilized/freeze-dried) until you are ready to use them.

When I say reconstitute what I mean is you will mix something called bacteriostatic water in the vials. Bacteriostatic water is easily obtained at any london drugs, pharmasave, shoppers drug mart, etc. It's very easy to get and very cheap (a couple of bucks). You DO NOT need a presciption for bacteriostatic water. It is just pure water with an antibacterial agent so that the Melanotan remains 100% stable and sanitized throughout usage. You mix the peptide with the bac water so that you can administer it.

You will mix a vial with 1.5 cc (150 units) of bacteriostatic water -- this is easily measurable by using your syringe to mix it. Then you will vigorously shake the vial with water added for about 2 minutes so that the melanotan dissolves and defrosts properly. And that concludes the process of reconstitution. Remember, you will only reconstitute one vial of Melanotan at a time and use that vial until it is empty. Only then will you repeat process with a new vial.

The reason you only reconstitute one vial at a time is b/c the peptide is much more fragile once you've mixed it with bacteriostatic water and will only last for about 10-11 days in the fridge after this point.

Again, in the freezer in its freeze-dried (lyophilized) state, the Melanotan lasts for over a year, but not once mixed with water and defrosted.

You store the reconstituted vial in your refridgerator (NOT FREEZER) b/c otherwise it would freeze again (the more you freeze and defrost any peptide, the more it degrades). You finish off that vial during the next 9-11 days and then move on to the next.

MAKE SURE you keep reconstituted melanotan in the refridgerator and do not leave it on the counter. It degrades rapidly in room temperature environment and will not last more than a couple of days or less like this.

I hope this clarifies storage and to some degree usage of the peptide.

A safe daily dosing chart for the initial loading phase of MT-2 administration for tanning:

The following chart assumes a concentration of 0.02mg/kg of MT-II -- this is fairly low dose for reasonable results. This amount is still low enough to produce a tan with minimal acclimation side-effects (which last for about 3-4 days the very first time you use MT-2 for some people -- I'll go in detail on these soon). Although, you could also go with a lower concentration, say 0.017mg/kg -- but you will need a different chart. The chart was compiled assuming that you are using 10mg vials. NOTA BENE: you don't have to be too specific about how much you take. I sometimes skip days, or take 3 mg in one day. MT-2 has been shown to be non-toxic, just don't go overboard. Don't exceed 3.5 mg per day -- you're just wasting peptide & money b/c it won't all get absorbed.

10 mg / 12.00 injections = 0.833 mg --- 42 kg = 92 lbs @0.02mg/kg

10 mg / 11.50 injections = 0.870 mg --- 43 kg = 96 lbs @0.02mg/kg
10 mg / 11.00 injections = 0.909 mg --- 45 kg = 100 lbs @0.02mg/kg

10 mg / 10.50 injections = 0.952 mg --- 48 kg = 105 lbs @0.02mg/kg
10 mg / 10.00 injections = 1.000 mg --- 50 kg = 110 lbs @0.02mg/kg

10 mg / 9.50 injections = 1.053 mg --- 53 kg = 116 lbs @0.02mg/kg
10 mg / 9.00 injections = 1.111 mg --- 55 kg = 122 lbs @0.02mg/kg

10 mg / 8.50 injections = 1.176 mg --- 59 kg = 130 lbs @0.02mg/kg
10 mg / 8.00 injections = 1.250 mg --- 63 kg = 138 lbs @0.02mg/kg

10 mg / 7.50 injections = 1.333 mg --- 67 kg = 147 lbs @0.02mg/kg
10 mg / 7.00 injections = 1.429 mg --- 71 kg = 157 lbs @0.02mg/kg

10 mg / 6.75 injections = 1.481 mg --- 74 kg = 163 lbs @0.02mg/kg
10 mg / 6.50 injections = 1.538 mg --- 77 kg = 170 lbs @0.02mg/kg

10 mg / 6.25 injections = 1.600 mg --- 80 kg = 176 lbs @0.02mg/kg
10 mg / 6.00 injections = 1.667 mg --- 83 kg = 184 lbs @0.02mg/kg

10 mg / 5.75 injections = 1.739 mg --- 87 kg = 192 lbs @0.02mg/kg
10 mg / 5.50 injections = 1.818 mg --- 91 kg = 200 lbs @0.02mg/kg

10 mg / 5.25 injections = 1.905 mg --- 95 kg = 210 lbs @0.02mg/kg
10 mg / 5.00 injections = 2.000 mg --- 100 kg = 220 lbs @0.02mg/kg

10 mg / 4.75 injections = 2.105 mg --- 105 kg = 232 lbs @0.02mg/kg
10 mg / 4.50 injections = 2.222 mg --- 111 kg = 245 lbs @0.02mg/kg

10 mg / 4.25 injections = 2.353 mg --- 118 kg = 259 lbs @0.02mg/kg
10 mg / 4.00 injections = 2.500 mg --- 125 kg = 276 lbs @0.02mg/kg

I recommend with 10 mg vials that people simply add 1.5 cc (150 units) of dilutant to vials for reconstitution. This way when you withdraw 15 cc with syringe, that equals 1 mg of Melanotan. Hope this helps.

A compilation of information regarding how to use MT-II for research. MT-II is an analog of the peptide hormone alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH). This hormone acts on melanocytes to stimulate melanin production. Melanin is your pigment responsible for your tan. MT-2 out competes a-MSH for binding to melanocyte receptors in humans and other mammals because it has a binding affinity over 1000x. This is the reason why the fair skinned CAN reach a natural tan

Please pursue information regarding the usage of these products from your own research, academic journals, or the research of your in-house scientific team. Products are sold for research purposes are not for human consumption. Remember when you contact these types of stores/sponsors not to relate the questions or topics to human consumption or they tend not to answer. Cause after all, we know that this is for your experiments and not for human consumption.

Mixing: Add bacteriostatic water to the vial when you are ready to begin journey. It starts to degrade after being reconstituted.

I recommend adding 100 units of water to the vial. The average vial being small and holding a maximum of 2ml or 200 units. This will minimize the volume that you have to inject and will simplify the arithmetic.
http://peptidecalculator.com/

1ml syringe, 1ml bact water to reconstitute
Calculations (given you want a .5mg dose):
step 1= 1ml
step 2= 10mg MT-II
step 3= 1ml bact water
step 4= 500mcg dose
2-3 ticks on your insulin pin (1/20th a syringe full)

Some people prefer to add more dilutent which works fine, take note of the volume increase.

Needles: 29-31 gauge X 1/2", 1 CC (100 unit). Typical insulin needle. Once you get your technique perfected, it is almost painless. More info

Starting dose: Your first injection should be a very small dose, for example .25mg. See how you react. Goal should be to feel nothing. Dose after dinner, before bed. Any dosing chart stating that you should take a high dose (according to your weight) is outdated and potentially dangerous.

Loading dose: I recommend loading with 0.5-1mg once a day. People who have used doses in this range generally report getting excellent results. Don’t worry if you miss occasional days. It will not make much difference, focus on the cumulative effects.

Maintenance dose: Maintenance is taking doses less frequently to avoid becoming darker than you want while protecting yourself. Yes, that will happen. With enough UV, you will get much darker than you have even been before. I recommend .5mg every mon. and thurs. In my case, I tan on Weds. in between the two doses, then in the weekend during the summer I am in the sun. It works great.

UV Radiation: MT-II is not a good sunless tanner. Melanotan on its own can pigment your skin. You need UV (from sun or a tanning bed) to develop a tan. Without UV almost nothing happens. In other words, NO UV = NO TAN. Those who have never tanned before, load for a month and then start UV exposure, peers will be astounded by how fast and how dark you get.

Watch yourself: Your tan can sneak up on you. A tan generally sets in 3 days after UV radiation

Avoid burning: You are protected from burning mostly by your tan, not the melanotan II that you have taken. Therefore, don’t overdo the rays right away. Take it slow. Start with only as much UV that you could tolerate without burring before you started melanotan II. Gradually increase your exposure. It shouldn’t take many weeks before you can tolerate many hours of strong sun without burning...which truly is incredible for those who have never had the experience.

Continue your regular daily dose until you have reached your desired tan and do not want to become darker. Then cut injection frequency to once every 2, 3, 4, or even 7 days. You will have to experiment to find the frequency that gives you the tan that you want.

After mixing with water, it should be refrigerated. Not a problem to store 8 weeks or more

Melanotan:

Storage: It is a very durable peptide. Before it is mixed with water, melanotan II is quite stable and can last for months at room temperature. Shipping on any sort of ice is unnecessary.

Do you have to inject MT-II?
Yes. The best, most efficient method of administering melanotan is via sub-q injection. Nasal sprays do not work.

YouTube- SUBCUTANEOUS INJECTION animation sample

Note: There are many things you will need to consider before experimenting with this peptide. MT-II is not an approved drug (anywhere to my knowledge). MT-II is legal to buy, possess, etc. Variables such as skin type and individual goals need assessment, create a user log. When you start using melanotan to tan keep in mind that tanning is literally a side effect, not the objective. Melanotan is not going to color your skin, it is going to make your own skin create its own tan and that in turn creates UV protection. If you are looking to be some bronzed beach god with perfectly uniform and specific color then you are better off to going to mystic tan.

Know your skin type: Knowing your skin type will help you create a user log. There are 10s of thousands of melanotan users worldwide who share the experience

Am I a good candidate for MT-II?
Melanotan is best suited for the folks with skin types I & II

How should I dose MT-II?
Start out with small doses and build up. A typical starting dose is around .25mg and max dose reaching 1mg. More preparation the better. For every side effect, there is a remedy. Ask questions.

Things to consider:
There is no magic pill or formula. Few dermatologists know about melanotan. The skin is a large, unpredictable organ. Feel comfortable and confident with MT-II before use. Check out as many before and after photos and user logs as you can.

How much should I buy and how long will it last?

Skin type I: 30-50mg
Skin type II: 20-30mg
Skin type III: 10mg
Should last entire summer or season

Melanotan and finances?

Is melanotan cost prohibitive? Absolutely. There is no reason any melanotan user should be on a budget. At the same time, MT-II is a valuable investment for the prime candidate.
Initial investment can be $150-200 for product, $90 for tanning salon (you know the fees, commitment,lotions, etc add up). HOWEVER, melanotan has a lasting effect.
As a user for the past 4 years I will paint a rough picture of my expenditures as I remember them:
2005: 30mg first purchase, tanned in the sun...learned a bit about my skin type I body
arrived at a tan 3-4 weeks later and was blown away. Must have bought another 20mg and spent $300 total
2006-2007: Probably invested in 100mg over the course of those two years...vacationed a lot and spend ~$600 on melanotan and brief months at the salon
2008: 30-40mg used, very small doses required for results this year ($200?)
2009: 20-30mg ...so maybe $100
Future I anticipate using 1-2 vials/yr.

How soon will I begin to see results?

You should notice a change in your skin tone after three to four weeks. If you have freckles, expect them to get darker before your actual skin color changes.

How long will tan last?
A tan developed using melanotan II lasts much longer than an ordinary tan. A well-tanned person returning from a beach holiday will lose most of the tan in a month if they stop getting sun. But if they had been using melanotan II and continued on maintenance after returning, they would still have most of their tan 3 months later. Below is a chart for melanotan one and melanin density. Keep in mind MT-II users use far less mg per mg as it is all the more efficient. Melanotan's half life is very short however the effects can be far reaching

Side effects of MT2?

Possible short-term side effects you should know about, including: nausea, appetite loss, upset stomach, facial flushing and increased libido. Lethargy, yawning and stretching can be noticed from the aphrodisiac. These may be noticeable during the first few days of treatment but should taper off.
