Images are for illustrative purposes only

Melanotan 2 (also referred to as Melanotan II) is a synthetically produced variant of a peptide hormone naturally produced in the body that stimulates melanogenesis, a process responsible for pigmentation of the skin. This peptide hormone, called alpha-Melanocyte stimulating hormone or MSH, activates certain melanocortin receptors in the process of exerting its effects.

Melanotan 2 has been researched extensively for use in protecting against the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation from sunlight due to its melanogenesis-stimulating properties.

Description

Melanotan II (Melanotan 2) is a synthetically produced variant of a peptide hormone naturally produced in the body that stimulates melanogenesis, a process responsible for pigmentation of the skin. This peptide hormone, called alpha-Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone or MSH, activates certain melanocortin receptors in the process of exerting its effects.

Indeed, MSH also exerts significant control over lipid metabolism, appetite regulation, and sexual libido through its interaction with melanocortin receptors. Research has demonstrated that Melanotan II exhibits a range of effects, including appetite suppression, fat breakdown (lipolysis), and enhanced libido, in addition to its well-known skin tanning properties. These multifaceted actions make this an intriguing peptide with potential applications beyond just cosmetic tanning.

Melanotan II, through its melanogenesis-stimulating properties, has garnered significant research interest for its potential in safeguarding against the detrimental effects of ultraviolet radiation from sunlight. Studies have explored its ability to promote the production of melanin, offering a potential protective mechanism against sun-induced damage to the skin.

In addition to its research on sun protection, Melanotan II and its synthetic counterpart PT-141 have undergone extensive study as potential treatments for sexual dysfunction, particularly male erectile dysfunction. These peptides have been investigated for their ability to enhance sexual function and address issues related to sexual performance, offering promising prospects in the field of sexual health.

Melanotan II Dosage Frequency
The frequency of Melanotan II injections depends on the phase of usage you are in. If you are new to the product or are taking it again for the first time after a period of absence, then you will begin with what is called the “loading phase” and will need to inject every day. Once you have achieved the shade of tan you are happy with, then you can switch to the “maintenance phase” which involves less frequent injections.

Loading Phase

  • How often: One injection, taken every day (7 times per week) For How Long: Until you have achieved your desired shade of tan (this will take 2-6 weeks depending on how often you tan and your skin type).

Maintenance Phase

  • How often: One injection taken 2 or 3 times per week.
  • For How Long: If you want to maintain your shade of tan. Upon cessation of usage, your skin will return to its natural shade in about 1-2 months.

Tanning Frequency
Despite being referred to us a “sunless tanning” agent, Melanotan II (MT2) requires UV exposure to work properly, results without it develop extremely slowly or sometimes not at all. The incidence of side effects such as hyperpigmentation also appears to be higher when Melanotan II is taken on its own and without exposure to the sun or sun beds.

UV exposure recommendations

  • Loading Phase: 2-3 times per week if you wish to develop your tan as quickly as possible, otherwise once per week will allow your tan to build gradually.
  • Maintenance Phase: 1 tanning session per week is usually sufficient to maintain your color. For How Long: 5-10 minutes in a sunbed (solarium) or 20-40 minutes in the sun.
  • Precautions: Do not overexpose yourself to the sun, whilst Melanotan II does reduce sunburn, it only does so by approximately 50% for most users. Therefore, it is still wise to apply sunscreen, especially on sensitive areas. Sunscreen will not affect Melanotan II’s ability to give you a tan.

Tanning Results
If your tan is not developing as quickly as you’d like, then you simply need to increase the frequency of your UV exposure. You should never increase your Melanotan II dosage or injection frequency.Melanotan II and UV exposure complement each other, so if you spend a lot of time tanning you will need less frequent injections of Melanotan II to obtain and maintain your tan. If you don’t spend much time in the sun or sun beds, then you will need more frequent dosages of Melanotan II to develop and keep your tan

Effect on Cycle

  • Enhanced Skin Tanning:
    • The primary effect of Melanotan II is skin darkening by stimulating melanocytes, the cells responsible for melanin production. This can be especially appealing for bodybuilders preparing for competitions, where a darker tan helps accentuate muscle definition and vascularity on stage.
    • During a steroid cycle, especially in the bulking or cutting phase, Melanotan II can provide a more aesthetic appearance by enhancing the visual effects of muscle gains or fat loss.
  • Appetite Suppression:
    • Melanotan II has been reported to cause appetite suppression in some users. This can be advantageous during a cutting cycle when controlling calorie intake is critical for fat loss.
    • By reducing hunger, users can maintain stricter diets, helping to preserve lean muscle while shedding fat, making it a useful adjunct to steroid cycles aimed at fat loss or maintaining leanness.
  • Improved Libido:
    • Melanotan II is known to increase libido and sexual arousal in both men and women, likely due to its effects on the hypothalamus, which regulates hormones and sexual function.
    • This increase in libido can complement the androgenic effects of certain steroids, which can also enhance sexual drive.
  • Synergistic Aesthetic Effects:
    • When combined with anabolic steroids, which promote muscle growth and fat loss, Melanotan II can provide an overall improved aesthetic look. The enhanced tan can make muscles appear more defined, while steroids increase muscle mass and reduce fat, giving a more complete visual transformation.
