How does Melanotan II work?

Melanotan II stimulates melanocortin receptors, increasing melanin production in the skin. This results in a tan without extensive UV exposure. It also has effects on libido and appetite.

What is the Melanotan II loading protocol?

A typical loading phase involves 100-500mcg daily until desired tan is achieved (usually 2-4 weeks). Start low to assess tolerance, as nausea is common initially.

Do I still need sun exposure with Melanotan II?

Yes, some UV exposure is required for melanogenesis (tanning) to occur. However, significantly less sun exposure is needed compared to tanning without the peptide.

What are the side effects of Melanotan II?

Common side effects include nausea (especially initially), facial flushing, fatigue, and increased moles/freckles. Starting with lower doses helps minimize nausea.
