So just a quick little guide on how to inject mt2 taken form MPMD. So this is by all means not my work but I think this is the best and safest guide and want to get it out. I’ll also list a very helpful pdf with a visual representation of how to inject.
I am telling you right now, the loading phase is complete bullshit and is totally unnecessary and will just make you have a much higher chance of side effects, including blowing up with freckles (if you are prone).
I will outline the best “hypothetical” Melanotan II protocol below that will still get you dark, but save you money and reduce your chance of freckles or new moles popping up.
I learned about it from a very intelligent researcher online, and is what I follow myself anytime I use Melanotan II.
Assess response to a very low dose first (50-75 mcg), and taper up from there.
If you start gung-ho at 500 mcg shots when your body has never taken Melanotan II before, you are much more likely to experience negative side effects like nausea and notice an increase in freckles if you are prone.
It took me weeks before I had even reached a dose of 250 mcg pre-tanning. This is because I took a very conservative approach, tapered extremely slowly, and tapered my UV exposure very slowly as well.
I eventually made my way all the way up to 500 mcg pre-tanning (this took a couple months).
The end result was a very dark tan, with no noticeable new freckles, moles, or apparent darkening of current freckles and moles.
Now, I can maintain a very dark and healthy looking tan with only one 250 mcg shot per week and a little bit of UV exposure.
An ideal approach in my opinion would be to start very low, and then every 3 sessions (Melanotan II administration coupled with post-administration tanning) bump the dosage by 25 mcg and increase the tanning duration by 1 minute (assuming tanning is being done in a tanning bed).
Administration and tanning would be done every other day or every third day (or less frequently depending on personal needs).
Administration should NEVER be done on days that you are not going tanning.
Tanning should always follow Melanotan II administration within an hour of the shot.
* DO NOT DO A LOADING PERIOD FOR MELANOTAN. IT IS UNNECESSARY, ONLY USE ON DAYS OF TANNING.
* Protocol will vary depending on skin type and response to melanotan.
For those susceptible to freckling, moles, or at risk to burning or skin cancer; start with a low dose of Melanotan and short tanning sessions (as low as a minute or 2 if you must), as melanin density increases, tanning for longer periods will become safer with a lesser risk of freckling or burning.
– Immediate oxidation of newly created eumelanin, creating that glowing “suntan”.
– Minimal tanning.
– Minimal Melanotan use.
– Reduced experiences of freckling, discoloring, uneven pigmentation, nausea, etc…
– More control of “degree” of tan.
The increase in melanin from melanogenesis is more associated with skin tone and coloring in general.
If you expose yourself to sun after a loading phase (typical protocol found online), all that built up melanin will oxidize in the exposed areas leading to a dramatic tanning effect and thus uneven tanning.
I want to stress the importance of some exposure to UV while administering Melanotan.
If you just administer at night the body increases melanin production in areas with greater natural melanocyte activity, genitals, freckles, moles, etc… leading to many of the sides reported with MT, but if used in conjunction with UV, the body has mechanisms to increase melanin production and melanocyte activity in areas that need the production to protect from UV photodamage, such as the skin.
Anyone trying to sell you something else (like nasal sprays) and passing it off as Melanotan II is ripping you off.
Typically Melanotan II vials have 10mg (10,000mcg) in them.
To reconstitute (mix) them, you will need Bacteriostatic Water.
Bacteriostatic Water is just sterile water that has 0.9% benzyl alcohol in it.
It is used to dilute or dissolve medications that can only be administered via injection.
The container can be reentered multiple times (usually by a sterile needle) and the benzyl alcohol suppresses or stops the growth of most potentially contaminating bacteria.
I like to mix each vial with 2ml of Bacteriostatic Water.
The proper way to mix it without damaging the lyophilized Melanotan II is to push the Bacteroistatic water into the vial slowly, and let it drip down the side of the vial.
Squirting it full blast right into the powder may damage the peptide and completely ruin the Melanotan II.
After the water has all gone into the vial, gently swirl it around until the solution is completely clear.
It is now ready, and should be stored in the fridge when not being used.
If you have any questions or you disagree or just any comment in general, let me know
This pdf also has a guide. I list it mostly for people who would like a more visual representation. It actually suggests 1 ml of water instead of 2 ml, its just about preference imo. Just make sure to use a calculator so you dont mess the dosages up, because thats very easy:

The Best Melanotan II Protocol
Unfortunately, there is a common “loading phase protocol” floating around the internet created by bodybuilders over a decade ago that is still being used to this day as the staple for recommended dosing.I am telling you right now, the loading phase is complete bullshit and is totally unnecessary and will just make you have a much higher chance of side effects, including blowing up with freckles (if you are prone).

Benefits of pre-tan Melanotan II administration:
– Increased melanin production over tanning or melanotan alone.– Immediate oxidation of newly created eumelanin, creating that glowing “suntan”.
– Minimal tanning.
– Minimal Melanotan use.
– Reduced experiences of freckling, discoloring, uneven pigmentation, nausea, etc…
– More control of “degree” of tan.
Why This Protocol Is Best:
Melanotan II only increases melanin production, but the skin tans by two mechanisms. The second mechanism is the oxidation of the melanin that occurs from exposure to UVA rays, this is the tan more associated with that golden beach look.The increase in melanin from melanogenesis is more associated with skin tone and coloring in general.
If you expose yourself to sun after a loading phase (typical protocol found online), all that built up melanin will oxidize in the exposed areas leading to a dramatic tanning effect and thus uneven tanning.

How To Reconstitute (Mix) And Store Melanotan II
Melanotan II comes in a lyophilized puck of powder in a vial.Anyone trying to sell you something else (like nasal sprays) and passing it off as Melanotan II is ripping you off.
