most people choose to run mt2 since its all they see recommended by retarded peptide tiktokers, which often results in its superior, mt1, being overlooked.
mt2 is faster acting, yes, however if you overdo it you will become an orange.
this issue doesnt exist with mt1, giving you a more natural and even tone.
this is due to mt1’s lower potency and targeted stimulation on the MC1R receptor, which does mean it takes longer to get the tan, but that isnt to say that mt1 is exactly "slow".
mt1 is selective and only works on the MC1R receptor, in a more natural manner, meaning that there are greatly reduced risks when compared to mt2 (functions also on MC3/4/5R which will lead to other side effects you may not want).
with mt1 you wont notice as many more moles (due to more controlled signalling), nor as nearly darkened moles, which is the biggest downside to mt2 since itll make you look retarded as well as greatly increasing risk of melanoma and skin diseases alike.
not to say that mt1 is completely risk free, which it isnt, due to direct stimulus on melanocytes which also includes the cells inside of your moles.
most people also assume that you need uv exposure on mt1, but you really dont (of course, its beneficial if you can).
in the uk at this time of year we have near to nothing for uv, yet mt1’s effects have been clear, leading to people asking me how ive gotten so tan.
all in all, mt1 is a more gentle yet still effective tanning peptide than mt2, which results in greater safety, and in my opinion, a more pleasant tan.
ive personally been running mt1 since december, first running it nightly for 1-2 weeks, and now occasionally topping it off (few days in a row) if i feel a need for boosted tan.
started at 500mcg ed, but i now do 1mg ed when i do.
