Melanotan 2

Elite Research

Melanotan 2 is a synthetic peptide analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone and was originally developed in the 1980s at the University of Arizona for its potential to promote skin tanning without sun exposure

It works by stimulating melanocortin receptors (MC1, MC3, MC4, MC5), primarily MC1R, to increase melanin production, leading to darker skin pigmentation

It has also been researched for treating erectile dysfunction

Research participants in research studies over seen by professionals reported the following effects from supervised use of MT2

Induces skin darkening, often used with UV exposure (sun or tanning beds) for enhanced results. Typically administered via subcutaneous injection or nasal spray, with tanning effects visible after a few doses

Stimulates spontaneous erections (priapism) and increases libido

May suppress appetite and is currently being studied for reducing compulsive behaviors and alcohol intake

Research application

Copied from the handbook as research notes. and not instructions.

  • 10mg vial of Melanotan 2
  • Reconstitution volume: 2mL of BAC water
  • .5mg = 10 units
  • 1mg = 20 units
  • Starting Dose: Begin with 0.25–0.5mg per day to assess tolerance and minimize side effects like nausea or flushing
  • Maintenance Dose: After 3–5 days, if tolerated, increase to 0.5 - 1mg until desired skin darkening is achieved
  • For maintenance tanning: 0.5mg once or twice weekly
  • Erectile Dysfunction: 0.025mg/kg (e.g., 1.75mg for a 70kg person). Administer once daily

Unless other wise noted intermuscular (IM) peptides are commonly administered via subcutaneous (SQ) injection with 30-31 gauge syringes
