MT2 - Melanotan Vial 10mg

Melanotan II 10mg – Inject stimulates tanning by increasing melanin production, creating a darker, even skin tone. It is used to achieve a natural-looking tan with minimal sun exposure. Other uses include enhancing physique aesthetics for bodybuilders, accentuating muscle definition and vascularity for competition prep, and by athletes to maintain a tanned look for events.

Each vial contains 10mg of Melanotan II, a synthetic peptide that activates melanocortin receptors to boost melanin synthesis. This produces a deep tan, ideal for bodybuilders to highlight muscle striations on stage. It also suppresses appetite, aiding fat loss during cutting cycles, and may enhance libido, supporting bodybuilders under training stress. Effects appear within days to weeks, with maintenance doses sustaining the tan.

Melanotan II 10mg – Inject is injected subcutaneously after reconstitution, daily until the desired tan is achieved, then less frequently for maintenance. Bodybuilders use it pre-competition, while athletes dose for aesthetic goals. Users should consult a healthcare professional due to risks like skin changes. A controlled dosing schedule optimizes tanning and fat-loss results.

Dosages & Protocol

Dosages for Men & Women:

• Beginner: 250–500mcg daily (0.05–0.1ml, 5–10 units on a 1ml U-100 insulin syringe)

• Intermediate: 500–1000mcg daily (0.1–0.2ml, 10–20 units)

• Advanced: 1000–1500mcg daily (0.2–0.3ml, 20–30 units)

Dosage Explanation: Reconstitute the 10mg vial with 2ml bacteriostatic water to get a concentration of 5000mcg/ml (5mg/ml). Thus:

• 250mcg = 0.05ml = 5 units (since 1ml = 100 units, 0.01ml = 1 unit)

• 500mcg = 0.1ml = 10 units

• 1000mcg = 0.2ml = 20 units

• 1500mcg = 0.3ml = 30 units

Cycle: Inject daily for 1–2 weeks until desired tan, then 500–1000mcg (10–20 units) 1–2 times weekly for maintenance. Bodybuilding: Use 500–1000mcg daily pre-competition for 2–4 weeks to enhance aesthetics and appetite control. Athletes: Use 250–500mcg daily for 1–2 weeks for event prep. Inject subcutaneously at night. Use sterile techniques; rotate injection sites. Store reconstituted vial at 2–8°C, use within 30 days. Monitor skin changes; limit UV exposure. Use minimal sun exposure for optimal tanning.

How to administer

Melanotan II 10mg – Inject is provided as a lyophilised powder in a vial with a 2ml bacteriostatic water ampule for reconstitution.

Reconstitution:

• Disinfect vial and 2ml bacteriostatic water ampule stoppers with an alcohol swab

• Draw 2ml bacteriostatic water into a sterile syringe

• Inject water slowly along the vial wall at a 45° angle to avoid foaming

• Gently swirl (do not shake) until fully dissolved

• Store reconstituted solution at 2–8°C, use within 30 days

Injection:

• Use a 1ml U-100 insulin syringe with a 30-gauge needle

• Draw 0.05–0.3ml (5–30 units) for 250–1500mcg doses

• Clean the injection site (e.g., stomach fat) with an alcohol swab

• Inject subcutaneously at a 45–90° angle, pinching skin

• Inject slowly, rotate sites to avoid irritation

• Use a new sterile syringe each time

Storage

• Store lyophilised vial at 2–8°C; -20°C for long-term

• Store reconstituted solution at 2–8°C, away from light and heat

• Avoid freeze-thaw cycles; use within 30 days of reconstitution

• Keep vial and ampule sealed tightly when not in use

Half life & detectability

Half-Life: Approximately 33 hours, allowing daily or maintenance dosing. Detection Time: Detectable in urine for up to 1–2 weeks, depending on dosage and metabolism. Melanotan II is banned by WADA.

For athletes subject to drug testing, it is important to consider these detection times and plan accordingly to avoid positive tests for banned substances.

Dosage Instructions

0.025mg per Kg of Bodyweight subcutaneous injected into the Abdomen.

Melanotan II Dosage Frequency
The frequency of Melanotan II injections depends on the phase of usage you are in. If you are new to the product or are taking it again for the first time after a period of absence, then you will begin with what is called the “loading phase” and will need to inject every day. Once you have achieved the shade of tan you are happy with, then you can switch to the “maintenance phase” which involves less frequent injections.

Loading Phase

• How often: One injection, taken every day (7 times per week) For How Long: Until you have achieved your desired shade of tan (this will take 2-6 weeks depending on how often you tan and your skin type).

Maintenance Phase

• How often: One injection taken 2 or 3 times per week.

• For How Long: If you want to maintain your shade of tan. Upon cessation of usage, your skin will return to its natural shade in about 1-2 months.

Tanning Frequency
Despite being referred to us a “sunless tanning” agent, Melanotan II (MT2) requires UV exposure to work properly, results without it develop extremely slowly or sometimes not at all. The incidence of side effects such as hyperpigmentation also appears to be higher when Melanotan II is taken on its own and without exposure to the sun or sun beds.

UV exposure recommendations

• Loading Phase: 2-3 times per week if you wish to develop your tan as quickly as possible, otherwise once per week will allow your tan to build gradually.

• Maintenance Phase: 1 tanning session per week is usually sufficient to maintain your color. For How Long: 5-10 minutes in a sunbed (solarium) or 20-40 minutes in the sun.

• Precautions: Do not overexpose yourself to the sun, whilst Melanotan II does reduce sunburn, it only does so by approximately 50% for most users. Therefore, it is still wise to apply sunscreen, especially on sensitive areas. Sunscreen will not affect Melanotan II’s ability to give you a tan.

Tanning Results
If your tan is not developing as quickly as you’d like, then you simply need to increase the frequency of your UV exposure. You should never increase your Melanotan II dosage or injection frequency.Melanotan II and UV exposure complement each other, so if you spend a lot of time tanning you will need less frequent injections of Melanotan II to obtain and maintain your tan. If you don’t spend much time in the sun or sun beds, then you will need more frequent dosages of Melanotan II to develop and keep your tan.

Effect on Cycle

• Enhanced Skin Tanning:

  • The primary effect of Melanotan II is skin darkening by stimulating melanocytes, the cells responsible for melanin production. This can be especially appealing for bodybuilders preparing for competitions, where a darker tan helps accentuate muscle definition and vascularity on stage.

  • During a steroid cycle, especially in the bulking or cutting phase, Melanotan II can provide a more aesthetic appearance by enhancing the visual effects of muscle gains or fat loss.

• Appetite Suppression:

  • Melanotan II has been reported to cause appetite suppression in some users. This can be advantageous during a cutting cycle when controlling calorie intake is critical for fat loss.

  • By reducing hunger, users can maintain stricter diets, helping to preserve lean muscle while shedding fat, making it a useful adjunct to steroid cycles aimed at fat loss or maintaining leanness.

• Improved Libido:

  • Melanotan II is known to increase libido and sexual arousal in both men and women, likely due to its effects on the hypothalamus, which regulates hormones and sexual function.

  • This increase in libido can complement the androgenic effects of certain steroids, which can also enhance sexual drive.

• Synergistic Aesthetic Effects:

  • When combined with anabolic steroids, which promote muscle growth and fat loss, Melanotan II can provide an overall improved aesthetic look. The enhanced tan can make muscles appear more defined, while steroids increase muscle mass and reduce fat, giving a more complete visual transformation.

Side Effects

• Darkened skin

• Increased moles and freckles
