DONT USE SUNBEDS!!

For people that are on MT1 or MT2 and go to sunbeds thinking it’s working or helping in any special way — no, it’s not.

Not many people know this, but sunbeds are mostly UVA radiation. UVA is the type of radiation that darkens your already existing melanin.

UVB radiation, on the other hand, is what triggers your body to produce new melanin. That new melanin is also generally darker because it involves more eumelanin production.

So when using these peptides, the idea is that you would want UV exposure that actually stimulates melanin production, meaning the sun is more effective. Sunbeds, in contrast, are typically around 99% UVA with little to no UVB, so they mostly just cause temporary darkening rather than contributing much to new melanin production.

Just started. Site reactions every time?

I started yesterday, at a very small dose, I had a big red mark show up at the injection site immediately. It was also very warm but not itchy. It lasted about 20 minutes and then began going down, it had completely disappeared within an hour and I had no other issues. I didn’t even get any flushing.
Today I took an anti histamine 40 minutes prior and once again got a red mark at the injection site within seconds. It wasn’t as big and disappeared again within 20 mins. I’m just wondering is this normal considering I’ve only just started at a very small dose?

I’ve used many other peptides and not had any kind of site reaction, I know this can be normal but just want some opinions. If I’m having some kind of reaction I’d rather just not continue 😅 my bac water is also fine, I’ve used it for multiple other peps in my stack.

Question: MT2

Hey guys, I’m new to Melanotan 2 and had a few questions.

  1. What’s the best way to take MT2 for tanning results? (Dosage/timing)

  2. Can you actually get noticeably darker without sun exposure or tanning beds, or do you still need UV for a good tan?

  3. Does it help if you inject/take it and then go directly tanning (sun or tanning bed) right after? Is timing important?

Would appreciate experiences, especially from people who got good results. Thanks!

Site reaction ?

Is this ok. I think it’s just a mild site reaction. My first dose and tbh I struggled a little to get the needle in also.
I’ve only ever taken MJ before and that never seems to leave a mark at all so this is new for me😅

Basically just looking for some reassurance that this isn’t bad

Scratches on back going dark

So I slept with a girl like 10 days ago and she scratched the shi out my back, there wasn’t that obvious marks like 2 days after. Now there’s dark lines where she did it. Is this just from sunbeds or mt2? I’ve had 3 sunbeds since ( 2x 8min 1x 10 )

MT1/2 in EU (pls help)

Im looking into what to pin, since im genetically predisposed to freckles and moles, that are non cancerous, but i still have a lot of the. across my body. That is why im leaning towards MT1, however i cannot font a source inside the eu, since the last time i ordered grom xlpeps based in the uk the package got seized. Im not comfortable going gray so im thinking of getting MT2 which every site basically sells. So i need help should i get MT2 regardless of freckles and moles or should i get MT1 . If sou have a source for it its appreciated.

How did your environment respond to you being super tanned?

Do you just tell them you hit the tanning beds? How did people respond to you before vs after getting tanned?

Do I need to lay out when using MT2

I’m looking into starting Melanotan 2. Should I be laying out when taking it? Or will I naturally get darker without a ton of sun? I don’t typically like to lay in tanning beds and when I’m outside I have shorts and a shirt on. What are your recommendations? Will it be worth it if I don’t go tanning?

Accidentally took 25 units instead of 2.5

Mix 10ml vial mixed with 1ML BAC

was supposed to take 250mcg, but I’ve taken what I assume is 2,500mcg about an hour ago

I’m fine at the minute, not really got any symptoms apart from a slight sick feeling

So do I just not inject for a few days because I overdosed?

Hello! Will my dark circles under my eyes get worse if I start taking melanotan 2? Just want to say that I have really good pigmentation and get very tan as soon as the sun comes out.

Dark patches on body?

I did mt2 last summer no problem but this summer for whatever reason I’m starting to get a few dark patches on my legs and tummy? Has anybody experienced this? Or is there a way to prevent/get rid of it?

Australian Peptide Vendor

Searching for a reputable source in Australia, had a lot of difficulty with customs and sifting through all the websites online, heard some good things about PhantomPeptides from a mate and was hoping for some help in the comments

Accidentally Over did it??

I was told to start with 0.5 mg of MT2 subq. I did just that and it’s been hours of me feeling like I slammed 6 pre workouts. It’s 3 am I keep waking my baby (we co sleep) because I’m jolting every few mins…I feel like I want to crawl out of my skin.
I took my prescribed Gabapentin to help with the muscle rigidity because I literally can’t relax my body…
Wtf have I taken? This is my first time and now I’m scared.
I was told to expect some minor flushing and nausea…NOT this.
Will it go away? How do I make sure this never happens again?
I used a typical insulin syringe and did 10 units on that if that helps

Do you get bad tan-lines on MT2?

I started MT2 this week - 2 doses at 75mcg and a dose yesterday at 150mcg.

I don’t have a ton of time to dedicate to laying out by the pool tanning, so most of my tanning time comes when I take my lunch break walk at work - I wear a wife beater tanktop under my work clothes so I can show some skin on my walk. However, I’m not completely shirtless, so I’m concerned that my arms and shoulders will get really tan, while my torso will be totally pale.

I remember hearing some people say that MT2 gives you a pretty uniform tan all over, regardless of direct sun exposure, but haven’t been able to confirm. Is that true?

My only other option is using a tanning bed, but that wouldn’t be my first choice.

Anyone got experience flying out of the uk with mt2?

Im flying out of Heathrow to Portugal. Would be such a waste of sun not to bring it. Especially as I’ll only be nearing the end of my loading.

Is it okay to carry reconstituted vial in carry on and with needles?

Or best to just check it in?

If I did this I would not reconstitute. But is this a bit sketch with a vial of white powder in my luggage?

Anyone got experience. Especially uk based? Our border patrols are just nobs.

Is MT-1 or MT-2 better?

I recently got on a peptide stack of
Reta / GHK-CU / MT-1

I am about to start the MT-1 and I feel like I’m regretting not getting MT-2. I think my Skin is type 2, so my plan was 250mcg for 10 days to load and take 30 minutes before sun exposure.

I am seeing so many mixed things. Could I get away with MT-2 without looking like a blown up spray tan? *I have no freckles and just 1 mole*
