Frequently Asked Questions (F.A.Q)

---

Melanotan 2 is a synthetic analogue of a peptide hormone (protein) known as melanocyte-stimulating hormone, or a-MSH.

 a-MSH already exists naturally within our bodies  and is secreted by the pituitary gland, hypothalamus and skin cells. 

The a-MSH acts on specialised receptors in skin cells, causing them to produce more melanin, which leads to increased pigmentation of the skin, aka tanning.

• Year round tan without UV exposure

Melanotan 2 allows users to develop a deep brown tan which lasts all year round, with minimal to no UV/sun exposure. Whilst UV and sun exposure will fast track the speed and intensity of your tan, as little as 10 minutes will achieve this and skin pigment will still continue to darken even without UV exposure. This means users don't have to expose themselves to the harsh, damaging and ageing UV rays from the sun for extended periods in order to develop a deep tan.

• Protection against skin cancer and melanoma

Melanotan 2 also prevents against skin cancer. The a-MSH hormone in Melanotan 2 causes specialised receptors in skin cells to produce more melanin. Melanin protects cells from DNA damage which can cause melanoma.

• Can help assist with weight loss

although named for its stimulatory effect on pigment cells, melanocyte-stimulating hormone also acts on receptors in the hypothalamus which modulate a broad spectrum of nuerol pathways including appetite regulation and several metabolic processes. These metabolic processes as well as a suppressed appetite have shown in studies in the brain resulting which  in a suppressed appetite which can aid weight loss.

• Can be used to treat certain skin conditions 

Melanotan 2 is helpful in the treatment of certain skin conditions, particularly roseca 

• Can be used to treat fimbromylasia

• Can be used to treat erectile dysfunction in men

• Melanotan 2 has anti-inflammatory 

Melanotan 2 can cause some unwanted side effects, particularly when you first start using it. These side effects include;

• Nausea 
• Stomach cramps
• Loss of appetite 
• Flushing 
• Tiredness 
• Spontaneous elections in men
• Darkening of moles/ freckles

It is because of these side effects that we suggest taking Melanotan 2 just before bed.

If you side effects are significant we recommend lowering your dose and gradually increasing, as side effects will begin to subside as your body gets used to the peptide.

Whilst both melanotan nasal sprays and melanotan injections both darken skin pigment and achieve a tanned completion in the same way, better results are achieved by administration via injection.

When administered nasally, melanotan 2 is approximately 30-40% less effective.

When using Melanotan 2 tanning injections, your daily dose should never exceed fore than 1MG per day and we recommend this be done just before bed.

When administering nasally however, up to 3MG can be administered throughout the day. This will help speed up tan development as not as much of the Mt2 peptide is able to enter the blood stream/ body system when administered nasally.
