Melanotan II 5 mg

How Long Does It Take for Melanotan 2 to Work?

Melanotan II 5 mg begins working within 1-2 hours post-injection, with initial pigmentation noticeable in 3-7 days. Full tanning effects develop over 1-3 weeks with consistent dosing and UV exposure. Maintenance requires lower doses weekly.

Does Melanotan 2 Change Skin Color?

Yes, Melanotan II 5 mg changes skin color by stimulating melanocytes to produce melanin, resulting in a darker tan. The extent depends on dosage, skin type, and UV exposure; fair skin may see dramatic changes, while darker skin enhances naturally.

How Much Melanotan 2 to Take?

Typical Melanotan II 5 mg dosing: Loading phase 0.5-1 mg/day (0.5-1 vial reconstituted), until desired tan; maintenance 0.5-1 mg 1-2 times weekly. Use a sterile syringe (29-31 gauge) subcutaneously. Start low to assess tolerance.

What's Better, Melanotan 1 or 2?

Melanotan II 5 mg is better for tanning and libido due to broader receptor affinity (MC1R and MC3-5R), while Melanotan I is more selective for tanning (MC1R only) with fewer side effects. MT-II offers faster, darker results but with appetite suppression and nausea risks.

How Long Does Melanotan II 5 mg Stay in Your System?

Melanotan II 5 mg has a half-life of ~1-2 hours, requiring daily loading. Pigmentation effects persist weeks after stopping due to melanin buildup. Detectable in body for 24-48 hours. Professional guidance advised for dosing.

Mechanism of Action Melanotan II 5 mg

Melanotan II binds to melanocortin receptors (primarily MC1R for tanning, MC4R for appetite/libido), stimulating melanin production and erectile function. Effects begin rapidly and sustain with dosing. Users notice tan in days. What doesn't happen: no UV protection without sunscreen, but monitoring is key.
