I just ordered some melanotan II...

[BBC3]

So what to expect. I am pretty sure its legal. I have basically read that they were experimenting with it for something, and discontinued due to spontaneous erections!?!?!? To clarify, "spontaneous" means like the 4rth grade, when the bastard had a mind of its own... Kinda scared... It is my understanding that it is not exactly a viagra type reaction in the body, and that it somehow alters brain chemistry in a sexual type way.

FYI, I am planning to get my wife on it for the "tanning". Of course the little sexual caveat will be a secret.

Does anyone know of any negative side effects? Seems like maybe the stuff is associated with cancer studies?!?!?! Whats the worst that could happen? Turn all my moles to cancer, start up some melanoma. ANyone??

Regardless, it would be cool to get a full tan with no sun...

Melanotan II is definitely an amazing compound. You will get unbelievably dark with virtually no sun exposure. The erection issue doesn't arise for everyone. Side effects I personally noticed were, hot flashes(feeling flush) for 30 minutes after sub-Q injection(take immediately before bed to minimize the discomfort of this side effect). Another side effect I noticed was visible mole darkening. I was lucky in this department, as I only "gained" one mole on my face. Others have not been so lucky(some required surgery to remove their seemingly endless supply of new facial moles). After the first 2 weeks(loading phase) you can cut your daily dosage in half, until you reach your desired skin color. You absolutely CAN get too dark on this stuff(I basically changed my ethnicity [)] ). Maintenance is just 2 shots per week. The benefits far outweigh the risks IMO.

Some people complain of upset stomach after pins. One of my bros on it though and he swears by it.

love it

Read away bro...you may have all this knowledge, but here it is again if you do...You never appreciate my help anyway so I don't know why I even try!! [)] JK!! [)]

 

[BBC3]

reading up on that/this. I am wondering if the ones that had moles "darken", or materialize...? Dies it make them where they are not, but comming?? WTF?? Sounds good though on the duration and all.. Just still wondering what the REAL long term effects are.... I am starting to feel like a human RAT..

It doesn't create moles, it just darkens pre-existing moles that were invisible/close to skin color.

Just still wondering what the REAL long term effects are....

It was developed unintentionally by the university of arizona as a possible way to prevent skin cancer(by making skin more UV resistant). It's currently in the final stages of human trials for FDA approval.

 

[BBC3]

Two questions.

It got pretty hot in the mail. Not mixed yet of course. Any concerns?

Second, ( for a chicken or egg). DOES MELANIN (or whatever the hell its called) actually prevent burns, or IS THAT MORE RELATED TO SKIN COMPOSITION? What I am asking is, does the fact that someone has a high skin content of this hormone mean they will not burn? Or at the same rate.

So what is the real function of melanin? Will I simply be more prone to turning dark, and without my usual 'burn point'?? OR would it actually expedite a burn, as the darkness would encourage sun/uv absorption....?

don't come to Arizona, you will be stopped and asked to show papers!!!!!

I am skeptical of course. The reads I find interesting, especially in hangtime. They are saying the tan last MONTHS longer than an "unassisted" one.....

Only way to find out. The worst that could happen is that it would lose some of it's potency.

Your body increases melanin production naturally when you are exposed to UV radiation(melanogenesis). It's your natural defense against burning. So yes, you will be less prone to burning. Personally, I was white as a ghost(I don't tan in the off season to prevent my skin from getting a leathery look when i'm older), and after only tanning 4 times I was basically an indian.

 

[ChaseQ]

I get an upset stomach from it if I do to much at once. I found doing a lower dose more ofter actually works better and no upset stomach!

 

[buddy1]

No pun intended?
Are the frequent erections more than what you get on a test cycle?

 

[herc11]

You do have to get some UV exposure to tan. The MII doesn't produce a tan (melanin) by itself. Although the exposure you do need is GREATLY reduced. Generally you can load for a week or two and about 500 mcg then taper off to twice a week. Play around with how dark you'd like to be. Also be careful because if you get exposure today you generally won't see complete results for a couple days, so you can easily get darker than you intended.
As for side effects, I never noticed the sexual side effects, but I also started it after being on cycle so really wouldn't know. If you had trouble tanning before or hate hours it takes of natural tanning then you will love this stuff. As stated before, take your dose before bed and the first dose should be 250mcg until you assess your tolerance. When first starting I would get an upset stomach and feel like crap after injections.

 

[herc11]

Also, reconstitute with 2 mg of what you choose to use. I use vitamin B12, but Bac water is good too. I use 2 mg because it makes it easy to draw up 5 ticks on your insulin pin to get the desired 500mcg rather than 2.5 ticks.

 

[ericraven2003]

Shit worked incredibliy for me. I only did 250mcg a day for about 3 weeks. I was only in the sun about 3 times a week for 15 mins. Results: I was dark as sin. My face was too dark, even though I wore sunblock every day. I did get a lot of dark freckles, enought that my wife would not try it. I also had a few spontaneous erections, one happend in a story and was very obvious in my workout shorts. My wife had a great laugh over that.

Overall, it was great. I will do another couple of weeks at the end of July. I have maintained a nice tan since getting off with little sun and my face has lightened up.

Well, it can, at least depending on the individual and on total use.

I've put in very, very little total tanning time in the last year -- two hours of deliberate tanning before one trip, maybe another couple of hours of deliberate effort since then -- and have not had much natural exposure either, but still have far more tan than I had ever accomplished naturally.

I'd advise being patient with it, as effect is cumulative. While it might be that for example 1.0 mg/day would cause you no moles, 1/2 mg/day will get you to the same place, only at a slower rate. Or there are of course intermediate values such as 2/3 mg/day.

Personally I was a low-responder and saw very little from it till I had at least 30 mg of total usage, and much more benefit past 40 mg of total usage.

And I needed a lot of sun early on.

There are also people at the other end of the spectrum who can use much less and need rather little sun.

And on HeadDoc's ethnicity-change / show-papers comment: I actually had a cop be skeptical of my identity and ask for some further proof, as my drivers license photo was so substantially different from my actual appearance with regard to skin tone.

BBC,

Do you think you could take a picture of your hand before starting and after as well. You would have to use the same lighting conditions. I am curious as to the change that will take place for you. Seeing that sun exposure does assist in gaining color while on MT-II; your hand would be a good indicator since it it always in constant exposure when your outside.

I wouldn't mind giving MT-II a try for myself

 

[BBC3]

Yea, good idea. I'll document SOMETHING for sure for you guys to see....[)]

It should actually be a good test as I have refrained from all sun so far this year in order to do the laser hair removal.. So, I should be going from 0-60 quick.

Actually got it all mixed up BUT I'M SCARED... The posts about the nausia and all. Just dont need anuy nausia right now. I am probably going to go with 300mcgs tonight or tomorrow. And I guess there forward till I've had enought....

[tballz]

Every summer I take melanotan. I start off with 5.mg ed for about 1.5-2 weeks then I go e3d or e4d. Love the stuff and will always take it.
