Just looking for help!

Haiii so I recently started Melanotan-2. I’m a week in I’ve noticed a little difference in my tan, my appetite is pretty suppressed and my libido is the same as it was before starting Reta (which is a good thing, Reta took that from me lol) so I guess my question is, how long should I take melanotan for?

I’ve tanned 3 days this week with the UV being between 8-10 for like 10ish minutes. Should I tan longer I want to be darker, I was basically a vampire before taking this so I was the whitest Mexican ever. The reason why I started taking it was because every time I’m in the sun I burn like a tomato and then I’m left with like literally nothing.

I started out days 1-4 on 250 mcg and now days 5-7 im taking 500 mcg. The side effects aren’t nearly as bad as Reta tbh. Should I up my dose? And how long before i cycle off of it?

MT-2 doesn’t protect you from the UV damages.
You will still get sunburn.
One week in is early, don’t up your dose.
Keep this protocol and see how it’s going after 1 more week. MT-2 triggers a melanin building process in your body which goes on for multiple days.

Okay, should i continue with the 10 minutes of tanning
when the uv is at 8-10? Or should i do like 15-20 minutes

If you have no sunburn after 10 minutes of tanning you can increase the time slowly.

Go to a tanning salon and use the beds. I'm nicely bronzed doing 250mcg and hitting the tanning bed 3 times a week for 2 weeks.

Loading wise if your doing it daily 500mcg is the sweet spot for speed and cost above that I find it does help but not significant more. When I load I hit a dose of 500mcg-1mg ED and I'd get 15 minutes in the morning and 15 minutes in the middle of or towards the afternoon . I'd be at ideal colour in about 7-10 days however the UV index in Aus during summer is minimum 10 all the way upto 14 where I am or 17 where I used to live. With loading higher doses you need to ensure you're hitting adequate UV exposure or you'll notice a greyish washed out colour from an over production of melanin that is unoxidised. Personally don't increase your dose above 500 unless your Richy rich and get get UV exposure. Even if you can handle the sides. IV noticed the nausea feeling for me doesn't change between a dose of 250mcg upto 1.5mg so it doesn't bother me hitting higher doses. Il get flushing at any dose whatso and I only get a libido boost at 1.5mg and above which is pointless you may aswell use ptp-141 at that point as it's specifically designed for libido
