This is an Improved updated guide of my old MT2 Guide
https://looksmax.gg/threads/understanding-melanotan-2.17769/





Introduction of MT2
(Melanotan 2)


Melanotan 2
is an analogue of the human peptide alpha melanocyte stimulating hormone (a-MSH) that induces skin tanning. It plays a role in stimulating the production melanin which is a pigment that gives colour to our skin hair and eyes, by increasing the amount of melanin in the skin. Melanotan 2 offers a degree of protection from UV rays, as more melanin in the skin means the skin has a better ability to protect itselfs from sun damage



Benefits That MT2 Provides

-Reduces Sun Damage

-Prevents melanoma

-Increases sexual arousal and sexual desires

-May produce erections for men with Erectile Dysfunction (ED)

-Helps treat certain skin conditions such as rosacea

-Helps attain uniform skin tone




Other Therapeutic applications such has
Photosensitivity disorders:


Melanotan 2 has been studied for conditions like erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP) which is a rare genetic disorder that makes skin extremely sensitive to sunlight, The increased melanin reduces symptoms allowing individuals to tolerate sunlight better


Also some research suggests potential use in Melanotan 2 can help to manage conditions like vitiligo by promoting repigmentation in affected areas.



Side Effects of MT2

-Facial flushing which is temporary warmth and redness of
the skin (Mild and disappears in a short time)

-Nausea (From personal experience i've had none but it can happen to others)

-Vomiting (Extremely rare)

-New or darkening freckles (When hopping off of MT2 this is most likely going to disappear
from personal experience)

-Decreased appetite which may lead to weight loss which isn't necessarily a bad thing

-Stomach cramps immediately following injections (Extremely rare)



Less common but more severe side effects that are less likely to happen which is

-Fatigue

-Headaches

-Dizziness

-Darkening of the lips and gums - some users notice change in pigmentation in areas other than the skin
(Again extremely rare for this to happen)

-Contraindications



How reconstitute a peptide?


You'll need a couple of stuff to properly reconsititue a peptide
this includes:

-The peptide that is in powdered form

For Example The Appearance
Should be:


Capture.JPG


-Insulin syringes
(Also when reconstituting a vial id recommend to never use the same syringe
more then once, insulin syringes are made for single use only for the purpose of
drawing out and injecting only once and to not mix stuff in the syringe)


-Bacterostatic water aka Bac water

-Alcohol wipes for sanitization

For further understanding on reconstitution
check this thread out

(Inside spoiler)




How to know what dosage you're taking


Id recommend to use a peptide calculator after reconsitituting a peptide which you
can simply just search up on the internet as theyre pretty
easy to find to use them

The website that i use personally for calculating:
https://particlepeptides.com/en/content/48-peptide-calculator




Dosage to take while using MT2
(Melanotan 2)

Week 1​
50-100 mcg ED​
Week 2​
150 mcg ED​
Week 3​
200 mcg ED​
Week 4​
250 mcg ED​
Week 5​
500 mcg ED​
Week 6​
1mg ED​


By the end of doing this cycle you'll most likely ascend through MT2 whilist having the least amount
of side effects that are even possible

When the tan is gone from MT2 which eventually will happen you should go 4-8 weeks off of it after finishing the cycle



By Week 4 your tan should be looking nice
if you want to take it a step further then continue with Week 5 and Week 6







How to tan using MT2
(Melanotan 2)


Inject MT2 an hour before getting into sun exposure or a tanning bed
to reach the strongest effect that it provides



Can i tan without sunlight using MT2?

The short answer is yes
MT2 Can tan you without sunlight but it'll be slower to reach
the results that you're looking for



Improved Sexual function through MT2
(Melanotan 2)


Melanotan 2 can improve the sexual function of a male due to the fact that it is a multifunctional
peptide hormone which acts on melanocortin receptors in the brain and have been studied for erectile dysfunction






Appetite Suppression through MT2
(Melanotan 2)


Appetite suppression can be found when taking MT2 due to the fact that it is a synthetic melanocortin agonist
which targets MC3R/MC4Rwhich functions has a potent appetite suppressant
and a weight loss agent in research studies.

Also It acts on the hypothalamus to
induce a consistent 30% to 50% reduction in food intake
making it a small advantage due to the fact that it makes you tan and improves leanness



Study that talks about Appetite Suppression from MT2







Much love guys
Hope everyone stays healthy and safe
