    Melatonin II- Anyone try it?

    Has anyone tried melatonin II? Does it work? How much did you use? What did you pay?

    Seems to be a huge difference in price.

    I got over my laziness and did a search.

    The only time I used MELATONIN is when I am flying, which is about half my life.

    Sorry that there is no breakthrough, only bad spelling.

    It works well, I usually feel a little nausea for a couple of hours after my injection. Probably once I get through to the maintanence portion it won't be a problem.....

    King, I found this chart, this is what I have been using, I've found the multiple injections helps the nausea, also even at my age...48....the spontaneous wood occurs without cause....hope this helps!

    --------------------------------------------------------
    DOSING AMOUNT
    --------------------------------------------------------

    Find your weight on the chart below. 10mg is the average amount of one cycle. About 3 cycles are needed for the "loading phase." For someone of average weight (140-175), around 30mg is needed. This amount will vary from person to person. Heavier people, and skin type 1's need more than lighter people and those with higher skin types.

    -----
    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
    -------------

    For example, someone weighing 184 lbs should be taking a dose of 1.66667mg daily. They will be able to get this amount out of the vial 6 times ( 10 / 1.66667 = 6)

    Many people have began to emulate the slow-release method by giving themselves multiple injections daily. For example, that 184 lb. person would take 2 injections (1 morning / 1 night) of about .8333mg.

    Did your tan come on in a way that you could say it was natural if you lived in Florida? or does it come on so fast there is no way you could have spent that much time in the sun?

    Does it come on in such a way that it could be natural?

    Thanks for the help, man.

    No no, nothing like that at all, my wife hasn't even noticed it at all it's been so gradual. I will start using the tanning bed soon, so it doesn't appear "wierd" to her that I'm darker than usual....one thing to take note of, my freckles have gotten darker, some of them almost blackish....there small and still not real noticable. Good luck, i'll help anyway I can....

    Oh yeah, try going on the graph I posted and figure the amount 20 pounds lighter than you really weigh, that will make things even more gradual....

    I was going to do .5mg/day to see how the sides effect me, then slowly work up to 1mg, then the recomended dose. I just ordered my stuff, 30mg worth.

    That's a good idea, then you'll notice any nausea or any other sides....I have noticed that the nausea is no longer bothering me as of the middle of the second bottle.

    Sub-q. Not sure what it is. I never had any sides, got one or 2 new freckles and some existing ones got darker, but it is well worth the tan I got.

    Hope the sickness subsides soon for all of you getting started...give it a couple of weeks. BTW, here is some info on melanotan ll from the research done at ASU...

    Melanotan and melanotan II are both analogs of the peptide hormone alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH) that tend to induce skin tanning. Unlike melanotan though, melanotan II has the additional effect of increasing libido.

    Both drugs were developed at the University of Arizona. Researchers there knew that one of the best defenses against skin cancer was a natural tan which has been slowly developed over weeks. They hypothesized that an effective way to reduce skin cancer rates in people would be to induce the body's natural tanning system to produce a protective tan prior to UV exposure. They knew the body's naturally occurring hormone alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH) caused melanogenesis, a process by which the skin's tanning cells (melanocytes) produce the skin's tanning pigment (melanin). With that knowledge they tested to see if administering this hormone to the body directly could be an effective method to cause sunless tanning. What they found was that while it appeared to work, natural alpha-MSH had too short a half life in the body to be practical as a therapeutic drug. So they decided to find a more potent and stable alternative, one that would be more practical.

    After synthesizing and screening hundreds of molecules, the researchers headed by Dr. Victor Hruby, found a peptide that after trials and testing seemed to not only be safe but also approximately 1,000 times more potent than natural α-MSH. They dubbed this new peptide Melanotan. Since their discovery, numerous studies dating back to the mid-1980s have shown no obvious toxic effects of Melanotan. Because skin cancer (melanoma) today is a major health concern, Melanotan is expected to be used as a drug to combat it. Melanotan will do this by stimulating the body's natural tanning mechanism to create a tan without first needing exposure to harmful levels of UV radiation. This in turn will reduce the potential for skin damage that can eventually lead to skin cancer

    It will definitley make you darker because it's effecting the melonin in the tissue.

    I use an insulin pin, you can use anything from 29 gauge to a 31 gauge and 1/2" or 5/16". I inject in the waist area.

    Prices there on that site are way over priced getting the same stuff from china for a 25% of what they are asking. It is expensive to start with but do they have to mark it up 400%?

    there really is no need to "load." A maintanence dose is typically .5mg e3d or so

    I ended up like someone drank too much coffee and was practicing dots on my face with a black magic markers.

    Being a guinea pig is not all it is cracked up to be.

    Well, I have started with the melanotan II. I am on Day 5 now. The first night I injected I noticed slight nausea starting about 10 minutes after injection. Other than that, no sides. I haven't had raging boners keeping me up at night, but then I'm usually sleeping within 30 minutes of injecting and I always wake up with wood, melanotan or not, so I can't really say that's the melanotan working or not.

    I haven't been going out in the sun as I want to see what the melanotan does on it's own. Also, it's been raining like a bitch lately. Got my shit from China so I hope it's legit. We shall see...

    I'm on day 5 myself. No side effects what so ever, maybe a slight increase in spontaneous erections.. but hard to say for sure. I'm only on 1mg daily, probably going to bump to 1.5 soon.

    Well today was day 8 and guess what...fcking dots all over my face. It's not horrible or anything, but I think I look better without spots. What's up with this? The dots are supposed to fade, right?

    I'm gonna do my research on this, but it's looking like the whole melanotan adventure is coming to an end.

    I loved MTII. I had one new freckle on the side of my nose, but that has faded now. I'm gonna run another cycle in the summer.
