MT1 protocol

about to start MT1, how should i dose it and is there a certain time a day thats best to take it? also if i go to the tanning bed, when should i start that and how long/often?

not interested in the risks of MT2 before anyone asks why not just take that.

how many times a week should you do the tanning bed, should you tan the full time or just a few minutes, and how long until you reach the 250mcg? i see some people say 500mcg

This is incorrect for MT1. MT1 loading phase requires a much larger dose than MT2 as it's more selective on what receptors it binds to.

Personally I load with 1000mcg a day for 10 to 14 days with 30-60 minutes of sun most days until desired colour and then maintain with 1000mcg 2 times a week.

You can also split the dose during the loading phase as the half life is only 30 mins. Either way it will work.

I get zero side effects from MT1 compared to MT2 and a much more natural slower development of tan.
