MT2 (Melanotan II)

Brief Description

Melanotan II (MT2) is a synthetic peptide that stimulates the production of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color. It is primarily used for tanning the skin without exposure to harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or tanning beds. MT2 also has potential effects on libido and erectile function.

Use Case

MT2 is primarily used for its skin tanning properties, helping users achieve a tan without prolonged sun exposure. It is also researched for its potential benefits in sexual health, including increased libido and improved erectile function.

Reconstitution

To reconstitute MT2:

  1. Use sterile water or bacteriostatic water.
  2. Add the appropriate amount of water to the vial containing the MT2 powder. Typically, this is 1mL of water for every 10mg of peptide.
  3. Gently swirl the vial until the powder is fully dissolved. Do not shake vigorously to avoid denaturing the peptide.
  4. Use the Calculators section on our website to create custom reconstitution and dosing plans tailored to your needs.

Dosing

The typical dosing regimen for MT2 varies based on the individual’s needs and response:

  • Starting Dose: 0.25 mg to 0.5 mg per day to assess tolerance.
  • Maintenance Dose: 0.5 mg to 1 mg every other day or as needed to maintain desired tan.

Cycles:
MT2 is usually administered until the desired tan is achieved. Maintenance doses can then be used to sustain the tan, with cycles varying based on individual skin type and tanning goals.

Side Effects

Common side effects of MT2 may include:

  • Nausea
  • Flushing
  • Increased libido
  • Appetite suppression
  • Darkening of moles and freckles

Severe but less common side effects can include prolonged erections (priapism) and changes in blood pressure. Users should monitor for signs of these conditions and consult with a healthcare provider if severe symptoms occur.
