Holy crap I just found out about this stuff. It would be pretty sweet if one injection gave you a tan for a month. It would suck if it was uneven (like your face turned dark brown or something).

what the hell is it?

In men it has been shown to increase erections and libido as well. Nice!

I think you can buy it for 'research' purposes. Check out:

I think I may have to do some 'research'. I have some rats that are badly in need of a tan;-D

Only bad things I've read about so far are increase in freckles with some people, and decrease in appetite (this could be good for majority of people). It seems to be pretty widely available online.

I've used it before. It is injectable. It worked great. I did 1 mg a shot. Got 10 mg for 65$ from MR. I am naturally fairly tan once i'm out in the sun and I got extremely dark, so much to the point that people started to think I was mixed. I finished my supply about a month ago and I still have the tan today, but I do spend a couple hours in the sun a few days a week cause of training so that definitely helps.

I've been poking around their forum and I can't see much information on dosing...

It looks like the general idea is 1mg per dose... but no information as to how often or how long.

Does anyone here know?

Is this injected intramuscular or intraveniously?



Where can one get this shit?

It's injected subcutaneously, under the fat layer of the skin. Just like insulin. Basically, just pinch the skin up of the injection site, insert the needle, aspirate and plunge. The layer of fat over the abdomen is a common injection site for this drug.

I hope I'm allowed to post that. I don't believe it's illegal so should be alright. AG guys is also coming out with it.

In general, how expensive is melanotan to use and what are typical daily or weekly doses?

From what I've read on their melanotan.org message board, it is meant to be cycled 3 times, with each cycle being a total of 10mg, broken up into 10x1mg injectable doses.

Some people inject it twice a day during their cycle, morning and evening, and some inject 1ml every other day. Probably depending on how much they are using in their total cycle, or something like that.

Using a solarium speeds up the process and stimulates the reaction faster, resulting in a deep, even tan within a few days.

FYI: MR is out of melanotan II until mid august according to their website

I still dont get it though, is this shit an actual steroid? Does it mess with horomone levels, pct (really stupid question?) etc...
