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.

Have you ever really wanted a perfect “Hollywood”, attention-grabbing type of smile with super white teeth? You are not alone!

It is estimated that over 10 million Americans will spend over 2 billion dollars on teeth whitening products and services in 2008.

Teeth whitening is the most common cosmetic procedure done by dentists and this only accounts for a small fraction of the total industry revenue. The majority of people prefer over-the-counter teeth whitening products which available at your local pharmacy or grocery store. But do they work?

Need for Teeth Whitening

The problem is that tooth enamel is porous, which means staining agents can work their way down into the tooth, where you cannot scrape them away. These deeper stains are harmless, but many people find them unattractive.

This is why people need teeth whiteners. These whiteners use bleaching chemicals to get down into the tooth enamel and set off a chemical oxidation reaction which breaks apart the staining compounds.

Most teeth whiteners use one of two chemical agents: carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide (hair bleach). When used in the mouth, carbamide peroxide breaks down into hydrogen peroxide. So even with carbamide peroxide - hydrogen peroxide is the actual active whitening ingredient.

Professional Teeth Whitening

Your dentist can whiten your teeth through a mixture of carbamide or hydrogen peroxide, tailored to meet your needs. He may want to do all the treatments in his office or he might make a mold of your teeth and have you do the treatments yourself at home. Before the tooth whitening treatment, most dentists clean the teeth, fill any cavities, and make sure the patient’s gums are healthy. This is very important because teeth whitening is much more effective on cleaner teeth!

Most professional systems use 15 to 35 percent hydrogen peroxide gels, sometimes coupled with a high intensity light to expedite the bleaching chemical reaction. However some recent research has questioned the effectiveness of the light sources used during in-office tooth whitening and says that it does next to nothing.

These in-office procedures involves the dentist gently cleaning your teeth with pumice and then putting a protective barrier on the gums. The dentist then places hydrogen peroxide paste on the teeth for several minutes, rinses it off, and usually reapplies it several times. The procedure can achieve about four to six shades of whitening after only one 40-minute treatment.

The at-home systems on the other hand will often use 10 to 20 percent carbamide peroxide gels that also contain glycerin, carbomer, sodium hydroxide, water, and flavoring agents. Some gels that contain more than 10 percent carbamide peroxide will also include sodium fluoride to reduce sensitivity and strengthen teeth.

To begin the at-home procedure, the dentist takes impressions (molds) of your mouth, and then has soft, custom mouth trays made. To administer the treatment, you put a thin ribbon of the gel into the tray and wear it for two hours during the day, or while sleeping. Most whitening occurs in the first two weeks. However in some cases, trays may need to be worn for up to six weeks. Using a combination of in-office and at-home systems can achieve up to 12 to 15 shades of whitening with some people.

The disadvantages of dentist whitening solutions include higher cost and longer time required to get started. They entire procedure can cost between $300-$1,000 and sometimes more. There may also be a wait to get started. You have to schedule an appointment, wait to be seen, and then be treated.

Over-the-Counter Whitening

Over-the-counter teeth whitening also products also involve the use of carbamide or hydrogen peroxide except in weaker concentrations. However, if you plan on using these products, it’s very important to have your teeth professionally cleaned by a dental hygenist before you start using these products. The results will be far better with cleaner teeth.

There is a wide range of home whitening products available. The most popular home whitening products range from rom plastic teeth molds and carbamide or hydrogen peroxide gels to hydrogen peroxide containing polyethylene strips. These products are effective to different degrees. However, don’t expect amazing results.

Only expect to get 5 shades whiter from these at over-the-counter products best case scenario. Below are my ratings for some of the different products that I have tested. The point systems indicate how many shades whiter I was able to make my teeth using these products.

 - Crest Whitestrips Supreme
 - MetaTray Whitening System
 - Crest Whitestrips Daily Multicare
 - Opalescence Xtra Boost Teeth Whitening System
 - Rembrandt Plus Superior Bleaching System
 - Rembrandt Whitening Strips
 - Crest Whitestrips Premium Plus
 - iWhite Maintenance Stick
 - BriteSmile Teeth Whitening System
 - Listerine Whitening Quick Dissolving Strips
 - BriteSmile To Go Whitening Pen
 - Rembrandt In-Office Whitening System
 - iWhite Light Activated Teeth Whitening Kit
 - Zoom Teeth Whitening System
 - Aquafresh White Trays
 - Rembrandt 2 Hour White
 - Rembrandt Quick White Speed Whitening
 - Zoom 2 Teeth Whitening System

The main benefit of these over-the-counter teeth whitening products are the cost. Few cost more than $35, and some are even less than $10. Another benefit is their availability. All you need to do is go to your local drugstore and you can start whitening your teeth right away. However these products only work to a very limited degree.

Teeth Whitening Spas

Brite Smile is a teeth whitening spa which offers one hour spa treatments that can get you up to 14 shades whiter with only a single one hour visit. They claim that the results last for years. This entire professional spa is dedicated to providing their clients with the latest state-of-the-art teeth whitening technology. They seem to have great results, however the prices is kind of steep, expect to pay $399-600 for a single visit.

The Brite Smile company is doing really well and they now have 16 spas in major cities across the United States. These spas seem to be the latest craze with the teeth whitening crowd.

Best Overall Whitening Product

Based on my experience, the best overall teeth whitening solution is the professional dental bleaching system provided by Direct White.

Direct White creates all their mouthpieces at a dental lab using impressions of your teeth that you made at home and are very comfortable to wear and minimize gum sensitivity. The process is simple and doesn’t taste bad. I was also able to make my teeth at least 10 shades whiter with this product!

This solution has the best results (10 shades whiter) for the lowest price ($59-79). You cannot beat their effectiveness for anywhere near the cost.

With their teeth whitening solution you are sent an impression kit in the mail that you use to make an impression of your own teeth. You then send this impression of your own teeth back to them in the pre-addressed packing envelope provided with your kit. Once they receive the impression of your teeth, their team of dentists will make a plastic mold of your teeth using the impression that you send to them. Within 7-10 days you will receive a plastic mold of teeth and a few syringes of tooth whitening solution that you can use to whiten your teeth.

These kits will literally save you hundreds of dollars if you went to your dentist to get your teeth whitened. They eliminate the middle man and give you direct access to the manufacturer who makes these for thousands of dentists across America. We believe this is the best value on the market for the results you get! They also offer a no questions asked 100% results satisfaction warranty.
