People got really excited back in 1991 when it was first revealed that the University of Arizona had developed an effective tanning drug. A new type of peptide compound named, Melanotan, had been developed and had been found to be an effective sunless tanning solution.
It has been nicknamed the “Barbie Doll drug” because it produces a flawlessly perfect tan evenly across the entire body like you would find on a Barbie doll.
Melanotan is a synthetic hormone that mimics the action of MSH, or melanocyte-stimulating hormone which is responsible for darkening the pigments of the skin. Typically when your skin is exposed to UltaViolet radiation (the sun or tanning beds) your skin will release melanocytes as a natural defense to protect your skin from absorbing an excess amount of solar radiation. This natural defense to UV light is what leads to tanning or a darkening of your skin. Melanotan is a peptide which similuates this melanocyte response chemically in the absense of the sun. Therefore it is safe, because your skin pigment is responding to the simulated hormone rather than from actual UV damage to the skin.
Skin cancer researchers there knew that one of the best defenses against skin cancer was a natural tan which has been slowly developed over weeks. They hypothesized that an effective way to reduce skin cancer rates in people would be to induce the body’s natural tanning system to produce a protective tan prior to UV exposure.
They knew the body’s naturally occurring hormone alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (á-MSH) caused melanogenesis, a process by which the skin’s tanning cells (melanocytes) produce the skin’s tanning pigment (melanin). With that knowledge they tested to see if administering this hormone to the body directly could be an effective method to cause sunless tanning. What they found was that while it appeared to work, natural alpha-MSH had too short a half life in the body to be practical as a therapeutic drug. So they decided to try and find a more potent and stable alternative, one that would be more practical.
After synthesizing and screening hundreds of molecules, the researchers headed by Dr. Victor Hruby, found a peptide that after trials and testing seemed to not only be safe but also approximately 1,000 times more potent than natural á-MSH. They dubbed this new peptide Melanotan.
Since their discovery, numerous studies dating back to the mid-1980s have shown no obvious toxic effects of Melanotan. Because skin cancer (melanoma) today is a major health concern, Melanotan is expected to be used as a drug to combat it. Melanotan will do this by stimulating the body’s natural tanning mechanism to create a tan without first needing exposure to harmful levels of UV radiation. This in turn will reduce the potential for skin damage that can eventually lead to skin cancer.
This peptide has been going through extensive testing and research over the past ten years, however it is still not yet approved for use by the FDA. Not only can Melanotan be used for sunless tanning it may also be an effective preventative treatment for people at risk for skin cancer. So far, it is effective only when administered by subcutaneous injection, not orally. Since Melanotan must be administered with insulin needles, it will never be FDA approved for over-the-counter use until an effective oral form is developed.
In 1998 the University of Arizona improved the peptide even further and developed Melanotan II which was an even more effective sunless tanning agent. Both Melanotan I and II are synthetic hormones of melanocyte stimulating hormone that is responsible for darkening the pigment of your skin when exposed to sunlight. Melanotan I is a linear, full length peptide [containing all 13 amino acids]. Melanotan II is a shortened, circular version of the same peptide.
However while testing the new peptide Melanotan II they found that it had an unexpected side effect: it caused spontaneous erections in men. The American Association of Urologists tested this peptide extensive and found that it did not change the bloodflow or selectively expand or restrict capilaries in the same manner that Viagra or Cialis treats erectile dysfunction. It works by sending a signal to the brain which causes the body to naturally secrete the hormone which causes an enhanced erection. They did further testing and found that this same responside with women it increased sexual desire and genital arousal. Evaluation is currently being done with this peptide in hopes of developing a new type of erectile dysfunction drug, however the Arizona Cancer Center suspended all development of Melanotan II as a tanning agent.
The Arizona Cancer Center is working with Melanotan not only as a drug with cosmetic applications but in order to reduce the risk of skin cancer. They feel that if fair skinned people take Melanotan it will offer them the protective benefit of a tan without the harm of sun exposure. In essence, it could protect people by providing them with a slight sunless tan that would make them less prone to burn with their day-to-day exposure to the sun.
The Arizona Cancer Center’s research has found Melanotan I to be effective in promoting skin pigmentation with little or no risk, however it’s role in actually preventing skin cancer has not yet been determined. They also found that Melanotan will not do anything for people with albinism or vitiligo because these patients do not have skin cells with receptors for melanin. For this reason, the synthetic hormone has no mechanism for action and therefore cannot cause change in pigment.
Researchers at the University of Arizona are no longer conducting research with Melanotan I, although research continues for Melanotan II.
A private U.S. company, Competitive Technologies, announced in March of last year that they would be developing Melanotan I and II for commercial use.
A company in Australia, EpiTan, is raising funds to start production and trials for Melanotan I as a tanning agent to prevent skin cancer. Unfortunately, rumor has it that the Australian equivalent of the FDA will not be accepting the research already done in the U.S., which will greatly delay approval in Australia, as all the tests will have to be repeated.
Recently, EpiTan announced it is working on a time release injection version of Melanotan, moving away from an oral formula. These injections would need to be administered every 30 days, instead of daily. They are using the same time release injection hormone technology developed for the birth control drug, Depo Provera.
Even with all this development on the Melanotan I and II peptides, there still remains many unanswered questions. For example, how effective are these peptides for readheads or people prone to freckles? It may be quite a few years before these peptides are FDA approved and once they are approved you will need to go to a cosmetic surgeon’s office to get them administered. However, you don’t have to wait. They currently have research grade Melanotan I and II available for all those research chemists out there (anyone) to test out on their lab-rats (themselves).
So you can order “research grade” kits of Melanotan I and II online right now for around $100 and try out this peptide. I know a few people who have tried this peptide and they were very pleased with the results. However, you have to use this at your own risk because these kits are not FDA approved and not intended for human consumption.

Below is a video segment describing Melanotan and how it is a highly safe and effective sunless tanning solution:
* Special thanks to Billy Warhol for inspiring me on doing research to find the perfect safe sunless tanning solution available.
In the past two days I have read through about 30 articles on this site and I am truly impressed. They range from good to totally outstanding.
I don’t know what is that you do for a living, but I see lots of untapped talent and potential here. Your writing does need a little work, but the content and the presentation is outstanding. How do you find such awesome content? Really where do you come up with this stuff?
Seriously. I think you could be writing articles for Cosmo or Maxxium rather than doing whatever it is that you do now.
I must be naive and live under a rock because this site has opened my eyes up to so many things that I have never known.
r u for real!!!!!!!!!
;PPP
I came within a C Hair of selling my Car today but I was this close to being on a Plane to Anywhere WARM! HOT!! + SUNNY!!
I haven’t a base Tan either but Drinking Cold Beers + Vodka + Fresca on a Beach is something I Excel at*
Cheers! Happy I could be of Inspiration!!
;)) xoxo Peace*
I know a girl that tried this Melanotan stuff and she said that it worked well. It made her look like she spent two weeks in Hawaii and she never even went out in the sun once or ever visited a tanning bed. I was shocked how well this worked. It’s like unreal. It almost made her too tan because she was so dark, but I thoguht it was kinda hot too.
hi ive been wanting to try this for ages where do i get it from thanks
This is an interesting drug, but seems a bit too exprensive.. $100 for a tan? I’ve been using some sunless tanning products from Sun Labs and it’s been working great, and a lot cheaper than $100
Sunless tanning products may be cheaper and look good, but they wont protect you from skin cancer. I think $100 is cheap for the peace of mind.
Wow, that girl on the beach in the blue bikini above has a perfect tan! I would love to have a tan like this. Come this spring I definitely plan on ordering this drug. I wonder how good my tan will be if I use this in combination with the tanning beds…
My poor Nana got talked into trying a tanning creme once. The lady at the store applied it and then wiped off 10 minutes later. Sadly she forget to take my Nana’s deep wrinkles into consideration and basically turned her into a tiger! It was pretty sweet. Anyway, I actually stopped by to ask you to please change your Entrecard design. It is hard to concentrate whenever I see it … oh geez, gotta go …
how ironic. people here in Manila, Philippines are overdosing themselves with Glutathione to become fair and white. while people from the other side of the globe are finding ways to get the skin color that we’re born with (but most girl want to get rid of). i like to keep my brown skin though. all i can say is…Melatonan is pretty impressive.
so does anyone know wat would any scars, or stretchmarks after taking this injection???
i have been trying these tanning injections and i am truely inpressed with them! I am on my 11th one now and have only been on the sunbeds twice in about a month or so, and I have a brillaint colour, which is amazing as I am one of those people who hardly tans!
I havent had any side affects except for the 1st time when i felt a little sickly, but since then nothing! even my mother and boy friend are on them, and alot of other people i know. It is quite expensive, but i dont want to smell of fake tan nor do i want wrinkles at 22, so i think its a bargain in the long run on smell and looks!
wre do u inject them n i have been readin up on these n i am scared if they will effect u some how in later life i always have spray tans but it does me ed in havin them i would love 2 try them but really scared ov needles
Hi there
I jus found bout dis stuf & it sounds gr8. Only thing concerning me is that I have type 1 diabetes (Insulin). Is ne1 else in same boat or no ne1 with diabetes takin Melanotan.
Thanks
your type 1 diabetes should have nothing to do with melanotan or any other tanning injections. there are no drug interactions and this type of drug can be taken with or without insulin.
Hi my name is Aoife and I am currently writing an article about the use of melanotan. I’d really appreciate it if I could do a phone/skype/email interview with somebody who uses these injections or sunbeds! Thanks a million!
how much do you take. and how offen?
hi ive been wanting to try this tanning injection for ages whrer do i get it from.can any one help x
Awesome article - if you’re interested check out the REAL reviews by REAL people of sunless tanners and airbrush tanning solutions at http://www.sunless-tanning.org
hi im thinking of trying these injections,but wanted to know how often you inject.and how much to inject.
I tried it and it made me lose my site. Its back now. but that was scary.
how for long? an how quick after used did it happen?
Hi, I really want to try these injections but have quite freckly fair skin and only ever get a very slight tan in the sun. I am worried that if I tried the injections I would only get loads more freckles! Has anyone with a similar skin type tried these? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
I have reddish hair and a complexion similar to Lindsay Lohan, I don’t tan too easily either in the sun or on tanning beds.
When I first tried Melanotan it made me slightly nauseous after the first couple of injections, but I continued… after a week or so I started to get freckles and they almost made me stop, but I continued and after like 3 weeks they started to fade, go away, and blend into my tan. At 6 weeks I have a better tan than I would expect and I am pleased with the results.
did you also use sunbeds
HI , I believe I may have complexion similar to you. Can you please advise where you bought the tanning drug abd the effect it had on your freakles?? thanksss
how long do these take to make u actually go brown and do they put weight on you
It took me 3 weeks to start seeing good results and 6 weeks to get a really deep tan. I would say that the results consistently improved after the 3rd week. I tan slow, so my friends actually saw results within 7-10 days, because they tan faster.
They did not make me gain any weight. They did make me nauseous at first, but this nauseous feeling went away after the first 2-3 days.
DO YOU HAVE TO INJECT EVERY DAY OR ONCE A WEEK?
Once every day.
are these injections safe to use when pregnant
hi i would like to know were you can buy this from it sounds great. and how many bottles do you need be for it starts to show
ok so were do u actually buy this??? no1 has answered that yet. i wana try it!! so u inject once a day. were abouts do u inject in ur body??
You can buy this from AG-Guys.com or LionNutrition.com, it works really well.
You use a small insulin needle to inject this into the subQ fat on your stomach. Just pinch the skin and inject it into the fat, like a quarter inch under the skin in the fatty tissue. Thanks it!
you can but it on the internet and you inject it into your tummy about an inch away from yr belly button x
well a friend of mine used the tanning injection and it is her lips that are most noticable as they have gone really really dark brown. has anyone else experienced this?
Fairly well written article. A couple of points are false but overall well written. You might want to mention that Epitan renamed itself to “Clinuvel” and that they are developing the first version of Melanotan under the name “afamelanotide”.
Cheers,
-Scott
I have a Beauty Salon and want to use it in the salon.(cost etc)please can you advice me on the application
cheers

Melanotan and Melanotan II are supplied in vials as powders that need to be mixed with bacteriostatic water for injection. The Melanotan and Melanotan II powder are best stored in a freezer due to their slow degradation at room temperature, and are often shipped in ice packs for this reason. The degrading process is slow, so if your Melanotan did not get shipped in ice packs it will not make your batch that less effective as long as the exposure to the higher temperature has not exceeded several days.
As previously stated, Melanotan needs to be mixed with bacteriostatic water prior to injection. To achieve a concentration of 10mg/8ml, use 8ml of bacteriostatic water in your 10mg vial of powder. From this we can have a concentration level of 0.25mg per 0.2ml. This should be enough liquid for you to accurately draw up using a 1ml marked syringe, although you could choose your own concentration level using a similar process. By using a 1ml syringe we can successfully attach and detach needles, and store the solution filled syringe in the fridge ready for the next injection.
The dosages of Melanotan are greater then that of Melanotan II. A daily dosage of 2-3mg of Melanotan will bring about fruitful results, and a daily dosage of 1mg will do the same for Melanotan II. To restrict the undesirable side effects it is often best to start the dosages at a level of 1-1.5mg for Melanotan and 0.25mg-0.5mg for Melanotan II, and build the dosages by .25mg each day until the target dosage is reached.
hiya well i’m on them and i pay 20pound 4 3munf worth! am a really gud colour and would recomend it 2 any 1
hi, where do you get them from? are they available from a uk site? i waaaaaaaant them!! x

hi
was just wondering how long you have to continue using melanotan for once you have reached your desired colour ??
You have to do small maintenance doses of 0.125 mg EOD to keep your desired color from fading.
I just read another article that said a side effect of melanotan I and II is a serious eye condition. Is this true?
I have never heard of these peptides causing a serious eye condition. I have heard about Ginger redhead girls like Lindsay Lohan developing tons of freckles due to using this and they complained about this as a result.
I am scared of needles but really want to try this if i take this to a doctor will they inject me to begin with till i got used to it or will they decline seeing its not approved by government? How many ml per bottle for the $100 ?
Hiya Erin, don’t worry about the needles… these are tiny insulin needles that you inject into your tummy by pinching your stomach. You won’t be able to feel them, well hardly.
This drug was developed by the University of Arizona, but it is not yet FDA approved. It is approved for sale in Australia, New Zealand, Europe, and Canada. So most U.S. doctors will not inject you with it, but trust me the injections are so simple and easy! The needle is tiny!
You can buy a 10 mg bottle for $100. See the following site:
http://www.purepeptides.com/product_info.php?products_id=68
This drug is NOT approved for administration in Europe, Australia, NZ, USA or Canada.
hi im very fair, and have been using the injections for 7 days and i am already really impressed. i usually do not tan at all on holiday or on sun beds. I suggest taking the dose before you go to bed as i still do experience slight sickness. definitly recomend it to my fellow pale’s.
did it give you freckles? i am worried about getting freckles or moles as a side effect. did you use melanotan I or II? where did you get it from? sorry for so many questions, but i want to try it too, but i have some concerns. thanks!
hi there when you first started did you use sunbeds aswell
no, i wasn’t using sunbeds when i was taking these tanning injections.
I have a lot of freckles on my arms and upper legs and a couple around my nose. I can only tan in the sun if I have built up a base in the tanning salon, otherwise I turn red as a lobster. My freckles do get darker on my body both in the tanning salon and with natural sun exposure but I never tan my face. I use self tanner for my face. how would I react to these pills?
These aren’t pills they are tiny injections using an insulin needles. They are small painless SubQ injections into your belly fat.
In terms of freckles, you will react the same way to Melanotan that you do to the sun and the tanning salons. It will darken the freckles.
You will tan better on this stuff than you do in the sun or salon and will not burn, that will be for sure.
There’s an excellent article that Wired Science has published about the melanotan peptides since this article came out:
Suntan Drug Greenlighted for Trials
It’s covers the news that Clinuvel has been granted FDA approval to conduct human trials of an implant form of melanotan one “afamelanotide”. Hopefully there will soon be a well regulated, doctor administered version of this tanning drug!
-Scott
There are many foods and creams that are known to be great for your skin but did you know that make up can be great too? The most women in the world are all going crazy about natural cosmetics for numerous different reasons! These products can help you to maintain a tanned look without the risk of skin damage or side effects. Mineral makeup is the safest makeup for your skin to achieve a tanned look and it lasts twice as long. Stay safe while remaining beautiful!
Hi, can you tell me where you get the needles and everything from? Also I am quite confused as to how you mix the liquids.
Thanks
Also, how do you dispose of the needles?
Remove the needle from the syringe. Throw out the syringe and then flush the needle down the toilet.
Always use a clean needle for each injection.
Down the toilet!!!!!
UUuummm NO!
You can purchase a sharps container to dispose of the needle from any local pharmacy like Walgreens, Target, RiteAid . . .
That way everyone is safe . . .
You can buy the needles either from ag-guys.com or from lionnutrition.com.
It’s easy to mix the liquids. They will send you one sterile vile containing dry powder with a rubber stopper and one containing sterile water. You simply use a syringe to pierce the top of the sterile water and then draw the liquid and inject it into the vial containing the powder and repeat until all the water is in the powder vial. Once done you shake it and then after it is mixed it must be refrigerated and will only stay good for 3 weeks or so.
There will be instructions that come with it and the process is quite simple!
Oh right, thank you for your help. Can you advise me where to buy the liquids I really want to try these but I just want to do it properly
Look on lionnutrition.com under research chemicals for Melanotan II 10mg Lyophilized Kit. It looks like it costs $79.95 right now.
does it stop making you darker once you stop taking them? I mean could it make you too dark??
No, this will make you darker while you are taking it, but you will get lighter once you stop taking it.
It could make you too dark, in which case you would lower the dosage until you achieve the desired color.
HI
I have alot of moles will this have any effect on them, ie make them bigger etc
This won’t make your moles bigger, it will make your freckles bigger if you are prone to freckles.
I have found that my freckles react to these meds the same way they react to the sun. So if you get freckles in the sun, you’ll get them taking these.
hi kerri thats strange though because the whole point of them is that they increase your pigment so that u get a tan not freckles..
Freckles are caused by melanin which Melanotan seems to produce or simulate in order to make you tan. In some people Melanin just makes them tan and in others it gives them freckles. With me it gave me freckles that went away over time.
where can you find these injections in australia? because im sick of getting a spray tan every week!
Anyone can order this from ag-guys.com or from lionnutrition.com worldwide.
However in Austrailia you can also go to a cosmetic surgeon and get the shots from him, but I am sure that this will cost you several times the price of doing them yourself.
i got d premixed version does tht mean i dnt need to use d water or im confused
What do you mean by premixed version?
If you got the dry powder than you need to add the sterile water and then refrigerate after mixing.
If you got a liquid version then you won’t have to add sterile water.
Did sterile water come with your solution in a separate vial?
I wanted to ask how long does it take for you to notice the difference. I started them yesterday and have had 4 injections so far but i haven’t noticed any difference yet. Plus make me feel quite sick!
You will start to notice the difference in 2-3 weeks. The sickness from Melanotan will go away within the first week as your body gets use to the substance.
OH MY GOD. You have had four and you only started yesterday?
Who told you to take that much? You should be taking one a day for ten days and then one a week if you wish to have a deeper colour!!!!
i need some help…i bought some Melanotan 2 from this site called researchpeptides.com……their viles r only 35 dollars…if this site sells them for 100 which is a big difference, could i have gotten scammed.? i cant find anything on it about it being a scam site…but the price diff is crazy
researchpeptides.com totally looks legit. I will order from them next time. The specialize in peptides where the other sites do research chems in general so maybe they do it cheaper.
it’s now $79.99 for the same thing on lion Nutrition. however the folks at lion nutrition also give you the sterile water which is an additional $10 on researchpeptides.com.
So you are actually comparing $45 to $79.99 which is still a great deal! Thanks!
could you please tell me where i can buy the tanning injections and how much they are? tahnks xx
i started the injections yesterday and was very sick last night,hoping i wont feel quite so bad tonight.
hey angie, the upset stomach and sickness will go away in 3-4 days. keep up the injections and your body will adjust to the compound and the sickness will go away. i had the exact same issue for about 3 days when i started taking this.
i have used them iam finished them now i did get a nice colour but i found i had to do a few sunbeds to get my colour
Hey Jo, so were there any side effects from the melanotan tanning injections?
yeh i felt sick when i was doin them,the first one i did durin the day and felt really sick so the rest i did just b4 goin to bed still felt a bit sick every nite,but its worth it iam just doin 2 sunbeds a week to keep the colour
so how exactly do these tanning injections make you sick? other than the mild sickness, is everything else good? any other side effects?
i want to get some as i dont want to use sunbeds anymore, ive heard you still have to use sunbed, is this true?? as the whole point in me getting the injections is so i dont have to use sunbeds again
I didn’t use tanning beds nor did I tan in the sun when I used Melanotan. I got a really good tan with the Melanotan injections alone and didn’t need to go out in the sun or hit the sunbeds. The whole point of Melanotan is being able to tan without the sun or the risk of getting skin cancer.
oh good, thats great, thank you as i really dont want to use sunbeds anymore, been using them since i was 20 and im 24 now and dont want to look like a leather handbag by the time im 30! lol, so they ideal for me to use really, will get some
to amber and lynsey…how have you got on so far taking the injections?.. tanned or freckles? hope theyve went well for ye as ive ordered some regardless!!
They will go away over time. It’s worth trying out because you might be one of those people who don’t get freckles from Melanotan tanning injections.
hi iam a redhead that doesnt really tan much, i have been on the injections for 8 days now and iam getting a lovely colour on my face,arms,chest but nowhere else. Has anyone else had this problem?
Be patient Mandy! It takes time. 8 days is not very long. In 3 weeks you will have an even tan everywhere with no tan lines!
Hi i am a red head in ireland and i will be taking my 4th injection tonite, took my 1st two early in the evening and felt quite sick so now taking them b4 i go to bed, this moring i do notice my freckles getting darker and my arms and chest are quite itchy like if i have prickly heat which i get when im in the sun. I never tan jsut burn. Has this happened to anyone else>
yes, melanotan frequently makes people feel nauseous initially, however this will go away over time with continued use. it will also make your skin react in a similar manner to how it would react in the actual sun. the darker freckles may get unattractive and increase in number which may cause you to stop using Melanotan.
hi im from ireland to and im looking to get these were did u get them ??:)
hi injection 1mg yesterday and was very very sick couldnt lift my head of the pillow which is no good if you have children to look after. If i lower the dosage to 0.25 do you think the sickness will go? I couldnt stick being that sick again.:(
Hiya Leanne, I would start out with a lower dosage and then work your way up. I felt sick the first injection, then less sick on the second, by the third it won’t happen anymore. Don’t worry it will go away once your body gets used to it.
What type of symptoms did you exhibit?
I felt all clammy and had headache and then just kept vomiting over and over. I was scared to even take the lower dose as it frightened me being sick that much. I have took 0.2 tonight and have taken an anti sickness tablet so fingers crossed cause if it makes me sick again i wont do it anymore.
Hey leanne, I have similar symptoms but they were relatively mild. I guess you are really sensitive to Melanotan. Try lowering the dosage. I hope it works out well. Update me tomorrow on how well it worked.
Where did you get it from? I don’t know how well your solution was made…
I ordered it off the internet from mt2 labs uk which i suppose is frightening as well cause you really dont know what you are getting, as this is the first time i have used it i dont really know where the best website is to buy it from. I have also read that someone posted that they seized melanotan at customs and they were all contaminated! Scarey! So dont really know if it is safe or what its doing to my body!
I would buy the Melanotan from Lion Nutrition or AG-Guys. they have safe usp content and are well known and widely used. I don’t know about mt2 labs.
Hi jessica, did 0.2 last night and took an anti sickness tablet, so far so good! Havent felt any side effects today so maybe this is what works for me. Just waiting on my tan now. lol!
I am glad to hear that it worked well and that you didn’t get sick. I would do 0.2 mg Melanotan for the rest of the week and then up the dosage to 0.5 mg Melanotan next week. If you can handle 0.5 mg Melanotan two weeks into the cycle then try 1.0 mg Melanotan. This way your body gets used to it before you try a higher dosage.
End Australian Gold? ( for sun bed only…)
Melanotan is awesome! Not only does it give me the perfect swimsuit model tan, there are no tan lines! I react sooooo well to this stuff that it rules. I have never had any side effects either, just excellent results!
Great article, better than: http://peptide-guide.com/Melanotan_2__MT-II_.html
please contact me about tanning injections thanks
carl
Can anyone tell me where I can buy these injections?
try www.ar-r.com they have good melanotan ii and i have been using their products for 2 years now with great results.
Have you heard the news out of Italy?
melanotan-1 (afamelanotide / Scenesse) has been given approval there as a treatment for EPP sufferers.
http://www.lifescientist.com.au/article/346731/clinuvel_gets_pre-approval_win_italy/
Wondering if I tried to add a comment to your post here already?
melanotan-1 (afamelanotide / Scenesse) has been approved in Italy for sufferers of erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP). The drug induces photoprotective eumelanin pigmentation which allows these folks to have the effects of their painful photosensitivity reduced.
Here is the news about this.
i’d like to try that melanotan, looks promising, where can i buy it?
You can buy melanotan II from rui-products.com, they sell the best quality compounds in Lyophilized format where you have to constitute it before usage. Avoid any place selling melanotan which is not lyophilized. They sell it for just under $80 for top quality stuff which is hard to beat.
i heard that melanotan can increase libido??? is it true???
Melanotan II definitely increases libido, its a secondary effect totally unrelated to the tanning agents in the compound.
u buy them on the internet or some gyms sell them,dont buy it already mixed it needs to be kept in the fridge for a 30 quid bottle u should get 12 apps at 1 iu each,but if u havent had them b4 just have half an iu or it will make u feels sick n give u shits,u take it every day 4 7 days then once a week after that but beware will make u very horny and lose u appetite.I took them last yr b4 i went to eygpt and was black so was my boyfriend,it stops u from burning to hope this helps.
hi, can you recommend any sites i can get this from?, also i am fair skinned with freckles so would it work on me or would i become a giant ball of freckles??
Melanotan might cause you to get lots of freckles. I would buy the Melanotan from rui-products.com they sell top quality stuff at the best prices.
if i were to get loads more freckles and they go to dark if i were to stop taking melanotan would they fade?also does it tan everywhere as my legs never seem to tan on sunbeds or out in the sun!
Yes, your freckles will fade over time once you stop using Melanotan. Your skin reacts to this drug in the same way that it reacts to the sun without the burn.
Yes, it will tan your legs and the rest of your body evenly.
hi kelly, thanks for the info, just received the pack today, bit nervous, not sure if i should start now or when i come back from hoilday, also should i lower the does to .5 instead of 1.0? dont want to feel really sick! i think i may have to do the loading stage for a bit longer with me being type 1 skin.
Hey Nancy, where did you receive your pack from? You should start this when you come back from the holiday.
I would agree with you doing .5 for a while before moving up to 1.0 so that you can judge your bodies reaction to the dosage.
hi, i got the pack from magic skin solutions on the net, im going away in just over a week but think i would need more loading phase than the recommended 10days if i only do the smaller dose, do you go red first or just tan brown??
I have only ordered from rui-products.com. I usually would do 10-20 days loading phase. It never made me red, just tan. This stuff will tan, but not burn you like the sun could do.
i have decided that im defo waiting till i come back from holiday so i dont have a break if im to do 10-20 days worth of loading, will i know when i am ready to reduce the amount? thanks again for the info!!
That’s a good decision to wait until you get back.
You do the initial loading phase until you reach the desired color and then do a smaller maintenance dosage to keep your tan. You can always take more to adjust the color up or down after the initial loading phase.
i defo waiting till i get back from holiday if i am to do 10-20 days worth of loading( is that doing the .5 dose or 1mg) as i dont want to miss a weeks worth when away. thanks again for the info, let you know how i get on when ive started it!!!
Tell me how it works out for you!
i’ve been seriously thinking about ordering this stuff to try i am fair skinned and spend soo much money on good quality fake tans because i don’t want to risk it in the sun or look like tandoori chicken! i’ve been reading everyone’s comments, which are very helpful (thanks!), but wanted to know do any of these sites deliver to australia?
Also, i saw someone posted a comment about their loss of vision, surely that wouldn’t be a result of normal use it would have to just be from over doing it right? any comments would be greatly appreciated!
I have done this and it’s totally worth it. Melanotan gave me an awesome tan. With some people they get freckles, so if you are a ginger like Lindsay Lohan this might happen to you as well.
rui-products.com will ship Melanotan to Australia. The vision issue is only temporary if it does happen and will resolve itself once you stop taking the medications.
thanks for the tip! i will check out their site and put my order in by spring! i do get some light small freckles on my arms, shoulders and face but they tend to fade by winter every year so hopefully i will get a good reaction so i can finally put fake tan behind me!
You will react very similar to melanotan that would to the sun. The only difference will be that you will not burn at all, just tan.
hi, i started last night doing 0.5, sort of had a hot flush but otherwise it went ok, just came back from hoilday so have a very light tan so hopefully this will darken over the next couples of weeks doing the loading stage, i have a load of freckles so hopefully not get many more, let you know how i get on!
The hot flashes and nausea will pass over time if you continue using regular doses. I am going to start this soon as well. Tell me how it goes and keep me updated.
Where did you get the Melanotan from? I was planning on buying it from rui-products.com.
help, can anyone give me some sdvice?? i have been doing 0.5 for 10 days then 0.8 for 4 days and been on 5 6 minute sunbeds but dont seem to be getting dark, i will continue for another week maybe doing 0.8 or 1, am i doing anything wrong as to why im not that dark, i am skin type 1-2.
hi kelly, i got mine from magic skin solution! when do you recommend i go on a sun bed, i only started this on wednesday night! also would you advise i up my dose or continue with the .5, the thought of injecting over a long period doesnt appeal to me but i also dont want an outbreak of freckles, let me know when you start and how you get on.
hi, help i need some advice!, i am type 1-2 skin and been doing 0.5 for 10 days then 0.8 for 4 days and had 5 6minute sunbeds, the problem i have is that i dont seem to be going much darker than my original holiday tan and that wasnt much! shall i continue up to 3 weeks loading(0.8 every day) or do more, already done 2 weeks everyday injecting, Or am i just being impatient and the colour will come out very soon??, please help, thanks
i would continue taking the melanotan for 10 days total and if you don’t get darker than raise it to 1 for another 5 days, if that does not work then your stuff is most likely fake. Buy it from ar-r.com their melanotan II definitely works!
hey nancy did you get any freckles?
Hi, i had a load of freckles to start with so dont notice many more but i have got a few new dark ones on my face and some odd ones scattered on my body, also small moles i had have darkened quite a lot, i have changed colour a bit but thought i would of been darker, this is my 15th day now but may need to do longer with being fair skinned.
also im on my second vial.
try tanning injections on facebook…there is a link on the info page…
hi, just a quick update: my skin tone is a really nice colour which i am very happy about, done 21 days loading and now going onto maintanance stage, prob 0.5 every 3-4days, is that ok??, just hope my legs will catch up, also i dont burn or go scarlet after a sunbed now. my freckles have blended in and the dark ones dont look so bad now.
overall i have never been happier and have nuch more confidance.
this stuff works well. i am way tanner than i have ever been and haven;t even stepped into the sun.
best tan. with no burn!
I don’t like injection,i guess it is not safe,pain,and maybe risky!
I have pigmentation (melasma) on my face, will it darken with the melano II injections or will they blend in. (a friend says hers blended in) but I don’t want to take chances.
Good tips..wondering if there’s any side effect for sensitive skin?
hi
i haven’t tried this yet but I found a local forum website (regional) which I can find suppliers at (as soon as I am approved, can’t wait). That being said I checked out the site of mt2 UK and they look legit, I want something physically closer though, as M2 is shipped frozen, makes more sense.
I’ll post follow-ups here so people can see how I am doing, along with photos. Mod: your site is important as this is the first that comes up in a google-search. Thanks.
So far these are my comments:
M2 is ONLY regulated for humans, not men (fully-developed people) because the real definition of ‘human’ is a colourable man: an infant, a ward, someone who is incompetent.
We are getting M2 for non-human (private) research because people are not humans once they reach the age of being responsible for themselves. Commerce also is regulated, private research is not.
Ok. I look forward to posting follow-ups.
Don’t get the Melanotan II which is shipped frozen.
Get the Lyophilized Melanotan where you are shipped a sterile vile containing the dry Melanotan II powder which needs to be constituted with the sterile bacterostatic water.
In this raw form, it won’t go bad due to heat or not being cold until it is mixed with the water. Once you are ready to take it, you can mix and then refrigerate it. This form of melanotan will not go bad due to being unfrozen or heated and is much more effective.
I am considering taking this, but whats the deal with the erections. I dont really want to be walking around all day with an erection, also anyone use this that has facial redness such as rosacea?
this stuff even gave me an erection!
i believe it will just increase your sex drive and give you a better erection at the right time. i talked with guys who have took this and they are all totally positive about that particular side effect.
if it gave you an erection i would hate to see what it would do to me. lol
hey, well i would love to see what you could do to me after you have took this stuff.
Oh is that so?
But honestly have you used this stuff?
Yes, I have used this Melanotan 2. It gave me a deep, perfectly even tan with no side effects other than an increase in libido. My girlfriend who had reddish hair, fair skin, and a fire bush ended up with some additional freckles. It did give her a slight tan, but it took longer. She never tans in the sun and never looked so good in her bikini, but she totally needs to shave the fire bush bare.
Hi using the tanning injections on day 5 felt really sick the 1st couple of days but it has passed thank God …. i bought 2 x 1ml bottles for 100e … does anyone know if that is a good price ..i’m in Ireland by the way !
Hey Susan, if you feel sick from the tanning injections, just lower your dosage of melanotan II until you feel fine and then continue to gradually increase it until your stomach builds a tolerance.
I pay $79 per 10 ml bottle at ar-r.com so 2 bottles for 100 euros is not a bad deal, just make sure it’s Lyophilized Melanotan and not already constituted, you definitely want to buy the kits where you mix the raw sterile Melanotan powder in a vial with the sterile water. Don’t buy the premixed stuff, it spoils way too easily.
I want to use this product where can I buy it and how do I use it
You can buy Melanotan II at AR-R.com and you will need to inject it daily (subq) using an insulin needle.
Hello, I am just wondering how exactly and where to insert the needle. I am wondering if I insert it the wrong way or place then it would not work or something bad could happen. So I am just wondering step by step instructions on how and where to insert the needle for the injections.
whats the difference between the stuff u mix your self and the stuff already mixed
was wondering is there any other side effects other than sickness paige my friend said you inject it in your belly and i asked her the same question wat if you inject wrong can any thing serious happen and she said no the only thing u mite get a like blister type thing if that makes sence lol
pepidecalculator.com has a page for melanotan information. Also has a helpful calculator tool to measure melanotan sunless tanning peptides. Reconstitution videos present as well
hi i had my first jab last night 1 mg been on the sun bed today 4 9 mins and i have burnt should i go on for 6 min tomoz or 3 min or not at all ????
not at all. just try to develop a tan with the melanotan ii alone before using the sunbeds.
i have been getting my melanotan II from mellowtan.com for months now! those prices are crazy!! love the stuff! check out the site i ahve been using if you want to try it. they have a starter kit but it’s not worth it, just get the 10mg kit! you won’t be sorry.
heya ive got these just done my first injection, do i do one every week or everyday? just i couldnt imagine everyday as the bottles very small
To Alex,
The main thing is to take them in proportion. There are plenty of guidelines on the search engines.

Thanks

hi I have been using this for 4 days and do them at night time, the next day for about an hour I seem to come out in red patches thats like pricklky heat, my skin gets really hot and it makes me feel a bit ill for an hour. Is this normal and has anyone else had these side effects, I have been taking 1mg.
Hi I’m from Australia & just seen it on my news that it’s dangerous & makes the risk higher of skin cancer? I really don’t know what to believe?? I am white & look so much better with a fake tan, don’t want to risk the sun tan but was wondering if the melanotan makes your moles/freckles darker isn’t that bad?
