Melanotan II

1. What You'll Need:

• • Sterile alcohol swabs

• • Syringes (29g or 30g, 1/2")

• • A vial of Melanotan-II powder

• • A vial of bacteriostatic water (BAC water, 10ml or 50ml) Available on amazon

2. Prepare the Vials:

• • Remove the caps from both the Melanotan-II and BAC water vials.

• • Clean the rubber stoppers with alcohol swabs and allow them to dry.

3. Reconstitute the Melanotan-II:

• • Draw 2mL of BAC water into a syringe (use 1mL at a time if needed).

• • Inject the 2mL of BAC water into the Melanotan-II vial to dissolve the powder. This step only needs to be done once.

4. Determine Your Dose:

• • Low: 100–250mcg per day

• • Average: 500mcg per day

• • High: 1000–1500mcg per day

• • Use a peptide calculator to measure the correct volume based on the concentration of your vial.

5. Administer the Injection:

• • Perform a subcutaneous (subQ) injection, ideally before bed to minimize side effects like nausea, dizziness, or appetite suppression.

• • To reduce flushing, take an antihistamine (e.g., Benadryl) 30–45 minutes before injecting.

• 6. Aftercare:
  

• • Cap and dispose of the needle responsibly—do not reuse.

• • Store the Melanotan-II vial in the refrigerator to maintain its potency.

• • Pair injections with regular UV exposure (e.g., tanning) for the best results.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):

1. Can I use Melanotan-II on its own?

• Yes, it works effectively without additional compounds.

2. Can I get a tan without tanning?

• Some pigmentation may occur without UV exposure, but the results are minimal. Without tanning, skin might take on a yellowish tint rather than the desired golden-brown tone.

3. Does Melanotan-II make me "natural" (natty)?

• Yes, by WADA (World Anti-Doping Agency) standards, Melanotan-II is not a banned substance.

4. Can teenagers safely use Melanotan-II?

• Yes, it's non-hormonal and does not interfere with natural development.

5. Is post-cycle therapy (PCT) required?

• No, Melanotan-II is not hormonal and can be discontinued safely without affecting testosterone levels.

6. How do I maintain my tan after achieving the desired color?

• Switch to once-weekly doses or reduce frequency as needed. Even without maintenance, the tan typically lasts 6–9 months.

7.. What are the side effects?

• Common (dose-dependent): Flushed face, dizziness, nausea, increased libido, frequent/stronger erections, darkened or new moles.

• Rare (extreme overdose): Erectile dysfunction, high blood pressure, kidney issues. These occur only at very high doses (e.g., 10mg injections).

8. Does Melanotan-II cause skin cancer?

• No. Skin cancer results from UV damage, not Melanotan-II itself. Melanin, which Melanotan-II increases, protects against UV damage, reducing the risk of skin cancer when used responsibly with UV exposure.

9. Does it reverse autism?

• There's preliminary evidence in rodent studies suggesting it may have effects on autism symptoms, but more research is needed (PMID 30629642).
