Melanotan II Guide

[956Vette]

Hi this might be a stupid question but does melanotan cause skin cancers? I know it darkens moles and freckles but can it cause them to turn into skin cancers just like too much exposure to the sun can?

Certainly not a stupid question - a topic triggered by a number of channels
Melanotan (the peptide) has little to do with creating cancers
...tanning skin has a risk profile unique to the individual

I like MT2, cuz I don't have to tan nearly as much. Once a week for 8 minutes has been working for me. I won't use this summer here in CA, but its nice for the winter.

Would shaking a bottle of MT2 after bac water has been added lose its potency ?

No I shake it a little bit before each injection because the particles clung on the bottom if you see me I'm darkkkk and I use such a low dosage once a week... So yeah not at all your gtg

Are you thinking that because of the hgh thread... They are two entirely different compounds

[MR-FQ320]

Yes thanks Electra Maddox( totally cool name by the way). I'm using both compounds at the moment, different times of the day, the GH comes premixed (?).

It's just that after 1 bottle of MT2 I thought I would be more tanned than I am, and I have been on sunbed. ;-)

How Often at what dosage did you take it And what what was you're tanning schedule like...

I did every night at 0.1ml ( I added 1ml bac water to 1000mcg). Sunbed Tuesday and Thursday. Melanotan magic said for a 100kg person I should be doing double that, so I might jump to that this week and tan mon wed fri. I'm an ok colour but just want to go a bit darker

It will bring out ones you did not know you had, by making them darker. I did not like it, no one else seemed to notice but I did. Obviously as your tan leaves they get lighter again.

[adamameeriar]

omg wow.. well thanks for answering forget that shit im not taking that, ill stick too fake tanning, it doesnt bring any of that up lol

[Brazensol]

956Vette - you mentioned the following in post #19 "Cover your eyes and face. Fair skinned MT-2 users particularly. As limited UV exposure is essential for a natural looking tan, experiment with your body first. Try and avoid exposing your face until your 2nd or 3rd Melanotan cycle."

Could you explain what a cycle is?

[cool_kurtis]

good post, thank you.

[cool_kurtis]

thanks for exhaustive post regarding this issue

[eightythree]

What do you guys do for maintenance in terms of dosing/frequency?

[Brazensol]

I'm doing 1000 mcg every 3.5 days along with my test c but I think that is too much and will cut down to 500x2 or 1000 once a week. Everyone says how jealous they are of my tan and want to know how long I sit out in the sun for. I tell them I get most of it from biking ~ one hour a day and maybe one hour at the pool Saturday and Sunday. They don't believe me but it's the truth. lol. First time I see my doc he asks "what's up with the tan? Ever hear of sunscreen?" lol. He told me to stop spending all day in the sun. lol.

[oatmeal69]

Okay, math not being my strong point...

I got one bottle of 10MG Melanotan II
I added 5ML of bacteriostatic water, which filled the vial. I did this because I have 3ML syringes and am too cheap to go buy the itty-bitty insulin syringes just to try this. I also don't mind more fluid, it's still a tiny amount overall.
So, if I want a 0.5mg/500mcg dose, how much of the reconstituted fluid I've made do I draw into the syringe?

I tried the calculator at the beginning, and I get some REALLY weird numbers. I know I'm over-thinking this...

10mg / 0.5 = 20

5ml / 20 = 0.25 ml

0.25ml

I feel like such a moron. Thanks! LOL

[Failure]

Anyone get brown spots at the injection site? I have a bunch.

[Beast_03]

Only thing I don't like about melanotan is the nausea and suppressed appetite.
Other than that, it's wonderful!

[equalme]

Guys I ****ed up.

I'm have type 3 skin. I started loading MT2 at 1mg everyday and was going to continue for a total of 10 days at that dose. Around the 5th day I decided to hit up the tanning bed (ergoline 550) and exposed my face (although I did lower the power halfway) for a total of 9 minutes. The tan didn't set in until about a day later and holy shit my face got dark; also left a greyish tinge to my face and a bit of purple on the lips that looks so unnatural. I felt so embarrassed to be seen in public. I stopped MT2 immediately and started applying hydroquinone cream onto my face. I have freckles and a birthmark on my face that I never even knew I had.

i've read that the grey tint is from too much melanotan that are not being oxidized. Is that correct? Will the hydroquinone be effective in any way? Since I've stopped injecting, how long should I expect the tan, grey tint, and freckles/birthmark to start fading away?

Thanks!

[oatmeal69]

Ooops! The good news is that I don't think it's permanent. I just stopped taking it about a month ago, and right now I'm about back to normal. Still tan, but not noticeably. Personal experience was that I really didn't need to "load" it. I think I did it EOD for the first week - (but less than you did!) and then once a week. It seemed to me that it plateaus, and that plateau amount may be different for everyone. I did notice a major darkening of freckles/birthmarks too, but that was also temporary.

[equalme]

Thanks! I will probably give it another try once I get my face back to normal. But will definitely just do 0.25mg every week...hope that's low enough to not effect the freckles much.

[SoulDust]

I read a guide online (can't post the link here because not enough posts) which says that when reconstituted with bacteriostatic water, MT2 can be stored at room temperature for up to two months. Is this correct? Thanks.

I don't think so, don't risk it.

Nope, you need to keep it refrigerated..

Ill-advised, but correct (it's fine for a traveling user to not stress about cold storage - it's sad when a user doesn't have the resources or freedom to access a fridge to follow best practices). MT2 is fine for a couple months outside a fridge when reconstituted in bacteriostatic water.

How long for reconstituted with bacteriostatic water in the refrig? Years???

[lovbyts]

How long for reconstituted with bacteriostatic water in the refrig? Years???

Reconstitute MT2
Storage: Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles. Store at 2-8^oC for one month. Aliquot and store at -80^oC for 12 months.
Stability Test: The thermal stability is described by the loss rate of the target protein. The loss rate was determined by accelerated thermal degradation test, that is, incubate the protein at 37^oC for 48h, and no obvious degradation and precipitation were observed. (Referring from China Biological Products Standard, which was calculated by the Arrhenius equation.) The loss of this protein is less than 5% within the expiration date under appropriate storage condition.

Yes ma'am. I've used MT2 which has been mixed for a year+ on a couple of occasions (before finally pitching the vials...never encountering any issue).

[jimmyinkedup]

I have also used "last years"mt2 stored in a fridge and it worked. Finished up a vial before using a new one.

[GirlyGymRat]

Thanks fellas. I have some from a year ago floating around in the bottom of s freeze drawer

Been looking into this and am gonna give it go... Will it actually get you dark like reg outdoor tanning(or is it better to do both, but carefully)?? No experience... & looking for some safer alternatives to just getting baked

You need to do both or at least a tanning bed but be careful, you can get pretty dark quickly. A little bit of sun or tanning bed will go a long way.

Ive still got a bunch floating around in my refrigerator also. Ive only used it a few times before vacation last Nov and once or twice since. One thing for sure I had the same side effects every time and I'm not talking about the tan.

Lol... Thx for the heads up . It would be a nice addition

Agree w/tanning as well(at least to getta base so you don't burn) if i burn it's usually only once then the rest is all g2g(dark)
