Description

Melanotan II is a lab-engineered analogue of the naturally occurring alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), which promotes the production of melanin in the skin. By increasing melanin levels, Melanotan II helps the skin tan faster and darker with less sun exposure, offering both cosmetic and protective benefits against UV damage.

In addition to tanning, Melanotan II has been noted for its side effect of increased libido and sexual arousal in both men and women. This effect is due to its stimulation of certain regions of the brain involved in sexual function.

It is commonly used in aesthetic, vacation-prep, or stage-prep contexts, often started a few weeks before desired tanning goals.

Benefits

  • Deepens and accelerates tanning with less UV exposure

  • Provides longer-lasting tan compared to sun alone

  • May reduce risk of sunburn by increasing skin pigmentation

  • Boosts libido and sexual arousal

  • May help even out skin tone and reduce appearance of sunspots

Side effects
While Melanotan II 10mg is generally well-tolerated, it may cause:

  • Nausea or dizziness (typically transient, especially early in the cycle)

  • Facial flushing or warmth

  • Mild fatigue or appetite suppression

  • Darkening of moles and freckles

  • Spontaneous erections or heightened libido (dose-dependent)

  • Injection site irritation

Starting at a low dose and titrating upward can help reduce early side effects.

Dosages & Protocol

Dosages for Men and Women:

  • Loading phase: 250–500mcg daily for 10–14 days (until desired skin tone is reached)

  • Maintenance dose: 500–1000mcg 2–3 times per week

  • Tanning beds or sun exposure (5–10 mins) help activate melanin production during the loading phase

  • Max dose: Do not exceed 1mg per day unless guided by experience and tolerance

How to administer – reconstitution and injection

Reconstitution:

  • Mix the 10mg vial with 2ml of bacteriostatic water

  • Inject water slowly along the side of the vial

  • Swirl gently (do not shake) until fully dissolved

Injection:

  • Use a 1ml insulin syringe

  • Inject subcutaneously into abdominal fat or upper thigh

  • Dosing reference (if reconstituted with 2ml):

    • 250mcg = 5 units

    • 500mcg = 10 units

    • 1mg = 20 units

Storage

  • Before reconstitution: Store the vial in a refrigerator or cool, dry place

  • After reconstitution: Refrigerate at 2–8°C and use within 30 days

  • Do not freeze. Keep away from light

Half life & detectability
Half-Life: Approximately 30–60 minutes, but effects on melanin stimulation are long-lasting
Detection Time: Not typically tested in standard anti-doping panels, but may be detectable for several days to a week in specialized assays
For athletes subject to drug testing, it is crucial to consider these detection times to avoid positive tests for banned substances.

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

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.
