PHARMACEUTICALS PLATINUM RANGE MELANOTAN 2(10MG/2ML VIAL)

Melanotan 2 (also referred to as Melanotan II) is a synthetically produced variant of a peptide hormone naturally produced in the body that stimulates melanogenesis, a process responsible for pigmentation of the skin. This peptide hormone, called alpha-Melanocyte stimulating hormone or MSH, activates certain melanocortin receptors in the process of exerting its effects. Indeed, MSH also exerts potent influence over lipid metabolism, appetite, and sexual libido via these melanocortin receptors. As a result, Melanotan 2 has been shown in studies to exhibit appetite suppressant, lipolytic, and libido-enhancing effects in addition to promoting skin tanning. Melanotan 2 has been researched extensively for use in protecting against the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation from sunlight due to its melanogenesis-stimulating properties.

Additionally, Melanotan 2 and a similar synthetically produced variant, known as PT-141, have been studied at length as a potential remedy for the treatment of sexual dysfunction; specifically, male erectile dysfunction.

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 also your skin type).

Maintenance Phase

• • • How often: One injection taken 2 or 3 times per week.
    • For How Long: As long as 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

MT2 is a peptide known as Melanotan-II

It increases melanin in your body thereby giving the user a rich, golden tan.

MT2 is marketed as a “sunless tanning” product however we prefer to think of it as a “reduced exposure” tanning product because the truth is, it works better when exposed to UV light (sun-bed or natural sun).

When using MT2, one can expect to achieve a similar tan in 20 – 30% of the time exposure to UV.
