What about reports of white spots/blotches? And the theory that using an altered peptide hormone triggers antibodies that also attack the body's natural melanocyte-stimulating hormone?

i've been on melanotan 2 for a year and a half, this shit is the real fuckin deal. i was skin type 1 before (always burned never tanned) now i'm like type 4. a true blessing. but if i was you i would try and get some exposure, even if its from the tanning beds bro.

I've been using 500mcg Melanotan II every other day for the past three months without going outside or bed tanning and have gotten significantly darker. I'm pretty fair skinned and it's given me a decent enough tan on it's own.

When I was taking 1mg for a day took me about 2 weeks to get a decent tan. that was going outside every second day for at least 2 hours. (averaged out to an hour a day for 14 days or so). I'd suggest you find a cheap tanning place and get a month pass with melanotan. You'll be dark very fast.

you may try tanning bed, even in winter

sorry to bring up this old thread but i have a question. i am a pretty "pasty" guy lol, i can tan if i hit the beds a few times per week, but i burn fairly easy if i havnt tanned in a while. my Q is this- do any of you users of MT2 out there have any birthmarks? if so did it make it way darker than before? i have one on my neck and i have been self conscious about it since i was a kid, and over the years it has faded away and is barely noticeable. but i want to get more tan, but i also dont want the birthmark coming back or darker. i am not worried about freckles/moles, just the mark.

Will this help you sleep better?

You will get a darker color. I have used melanotan without me having the sun. However, I can not use anymore because I have many moles, and all of them very dim. It is very ugly

Just look at source reviews and you will find good prices, ehealth has done fine for me.

remember this stuff was developed to help prevent skin cancer so you want to take more substance and LESS tanning bed/Sun. Yes you do need a bit of sun but i live in pa and have been on Melanotan II for over a year straight now and maintained my skin color WITHOUT tanning. I tanned one time before thanksgiving and one time (10 minutes in a laying bed) on march 10th. Other then that i have been dark as hell.

You MUST load this into your system so 1 bottle is usually 10iu's. you can do 1 to 2 ius a day, i recommend 1, until you get as dark as you want to be tanning 1 time after your 2 week mark. This allows the melanotan to get into your system. After 2 weeks hit the sun 1 time and you will be able to maintain your results year round with just 3 ius a week for a nice dark tan. If you need more use more, if you need less, use less.

Hope this helps

Only if you go to a Tanning bed or get enough sun exposure.Make sure your getting mt2 and not malatonin there both different.

I'm currently on labpe's melanotan 2. Running 0.5 mg per day currently, may bump up to the common dose of 1 mg a day here after week one. Three days in, Flushed face a few hours after I inject, spontaneous erections are becoming more noticeable now. I plan on hitting the tanning bed for a small amount of time later this week. my face is darkening up slightly already from being outside.

I'll continue to post follow ups as I progress.

I have a friend who used it for the first time and didn't get any sun or tanning bed exposure. Her results were very poor. I have used this on a few occasions, always with tanning bed and had excellent results. It's my understanding that this doesn't make you tan, it increases the melanin production which in turn is responsible for tanning. But melanin only tans with exposure to sun or tanning beds.

I'm about to try melanotan for the firs time. I am trying to figure out from reading the posts here is it a sub-q or I.M. stick. What is a correct dose? I think I am gonna go with MassonDeck and take the .5mg daily for ten days. But can someone let me know about the SQ or IM?

Thanks

I've used melanotan II before about 4 times. My experience with it was fantastic, but I believe lots of companies out there don't have very high quality of product. Im a pretty decent fair skinned guy that about a Type I/II ish skin type. The first time I took it about 7 years ago made me super tan at .5 mg/day for 20 days at a total of 10 mg's. I only experienced some oiliness side effects but nothing thats too crazy. Im also acne prone and never got acne from this. For results, I probably whet to almost a 4 skintype. I was tanning at 20 min without a burn, when before a 4 min tan would burn me. It does bring out your preexisting freakles and makes them turn very dark. Almost a brownish black color. I didnt experience and new freakles while on it. I was very pleased with my first cycle results. The last 3 cycles Ive done never got close back to the color I had obtained the first time I used M2 even with 50 mg (x5 more then the first time), but I still did get decent results. My only conclusion for this being that 1)Melanotan downregulates your melanin receptors and thus takes higher dosage injections to achieve the same results or 2) The quality that I bought from my other sources were less because all 4 times I used it were all from 4 different sources. I really also liked it because since it stimulates your to produce more FSH (Folicle stimulating Hormone) my facial hair, eyebrows and hair would darken up from a light brown to dark. I loved it because the contrast looks way good against a tan complexion.

How do you use this product, for a few weeks and then does it require a maintenece period?

I dont know anything about this stuff. I seen a bottle and all it tells u is 10 mg. How many cc or iu is that? and how long will that last?

Excellent for weight loss too...makes me throw up for England.

I got rezults in a couple days, i took 1mg and day first ten days and now 1mg a week, tan a couple times a week darkest ive ever been

im an extremely tan irish man. i use 4 iu's a week and only hit the bed for 10 minutes every 10 days. the more you do the less you have to go in the bed which is the ultimate goal. Unfortunately you do need direct sun exposure to trigger the effects once you have loaded it into your system.

After i have tanned that 1 time around mid november i do 4 iu's a week of melanotan and have kept the same tan WITH NO TANNING whatsoever. If you want the tan without using the bed use more of the melanotan and less tanning or if you cant afford it use less of the drug each week and tan more in the bed/outside.
