    Melanotan, generally is known as the lesser of the tanning peptides on the market. Most everyone chooses Melanotan II.... Melanotan (melanocyte stimulating hormone) works well for candidates for synthetic melanotropins. Afamelanotide/melanotan takes a lot of patience and does not yield much as far as results (as compared to MT-II).

    Ran melatonin II and the tanning bed. Both were necessary. Did get a little blotchy toward the end. Mostly hands and arms. Pro tan and Jan Tanna did cover it.

    I run melanotan II every summer. Love the stuff. I'm very fair skinned and this is the only way I get a tan.

    Recently ran Melanotan II was working great, tanning nicely untill around day 18 when I woke up in the morning and had turned a DIRTY black colour. Its hard to discribe but it was almost like I had a coating of brake dust over my body, you could stretch the skin and see the nice tan underneath but it was disgusting. Took 6 weeks to get rid of that dirty colour and now have a great tan, I was just using it as a kick start to summer now ill hold the tan well as I naturally go a good colour after A FEW BURNS (NO BURNING THIS YEAR) Would use again but for no more than 2 weeks

    Not sure if vette sells this stuff cause I googled it to read more about it and he had a write up in it. Good write up also.

    Pro and Jan Tan for a competition. They basically stain the skin. Melatonin actually tricks your body into tanning itself. I had to do everything to get dark enough. Wouldnt recommend pro or Jan for a tan substitute. Looks horrible 2 days latter.

    Melanotan one will give pigment to blonds/gingers/red heads (lower skin types with photo-sensitivity) falling short of solid protection from burning/tanning (as MT-II will tan and protect the palest folks). The original works great for a gent w/ tan(able) skin types like dec11 avy! -thanks for mentioning

    956 vette- I am a blonde hair blue eyes guy but I can tan, my as# is white however from never seeing sun but I am a decent color when I lay out in summer with a spray darkner spf 4 or something like that. Should I try 1 or 2 mel. Its winter and to hard to lay out and it takes forever to get dark.

    I had same thing happen to me i had to quit using it for a while because i was getting a dirty look also. I was using 1 mg every time about 6 hours before i tanned in a tanning booth. Everybody was comenting on how dark i was. My son was hard to tan,he would get red but wouldnt turn brown,he used melanotan 2 and he got a lot darker.

    Your as# will remain white for the most part as your melanocytes/melanosomes have likely not seen the much daylight like your arms/face/neck/legs/etc have.... Diligent/patient synthetic melanocyte stimulating hormone (melanotan 1 or 2) use with a reverse farmers tan protective tanning strategy would be the therapy to balance out a pale ass/leg scenario. Melanotan one should be used first before MT-II for skin type IIIs (give or take one). Most blonds w/ blue eyes are skin type 1 and maybe 2. Taking MT-1 in the winter with your background could hopefully yield some compliments (as if you were looking youthful and/or back from the beach) and some pigment depth/darkness (eumelanin ratio working to produce protective dark melanin)...but not a tan (both melanotans are poor sunless tanners)

    Dosing Melanotan peptides at a higher frequency with lower dosages is the path to a healthy experiment with the least amount of side & undesirable affects.

    1000mcg of MT-II in one subq injection is an overdose for most of the population imho

    If given the choice between running 10mg of Melanotan II in 10 days or 100 days the choice is 100 all day long. The user of 10mg in ten days is likely to become sick and foolishly altered (my opinion/observation)...coin flip whether or not a super-physiological tan will look good or uniform (skin is too important to roll the dice). The patient user who injects one vial spaced out for three months will come out looking like a champ about every time, with greater room for error. MT-2 is an incredible melanotropin peptide that should be respected (don't write when you have purple lips, scars & genitalia!).

    Have been using MTII for about a month and agree with vette, I use it in small amounts and even then when I first started ( using approx .1mg) woke up shivering my ass off and felt sick and dehydrated many times, now I use .05mg and that seems to be my sweet spot. At that dosage it works well and as long as you are very cautious with dosage (start LOOOOWW and move up slowly) you should be fine and get good results.

    PS it is really wierd to think that taking 1/1000 of a gram of something (other than plutonium or the like) would make you wake up shivering your ass off and pissing in the toilet with urine so turbid that the toilet is full of dark yellow/brown suds 1" deep...makes Tren look like a play toy:-)

    Everybody is different in how it effects them.I had no problem with 1mg but i dropped it to.5mg because there wasnt enought benefit in using 1mg. A lot of people get nausious,but thats a pretty severe reaction to melanotan,the worst i have heard of. I worked up to 1mg after starting with .5mg. Maby its the PT151 in the M2 thas causing the problem and not the Melanotan. The sexual side effects are quite amazing with the M2.
