Melanotan II, also known as melanin or tanning injections, Melanotan 2 stimulates the body’s melanocortine receptors. Melanotan II (MT-2) is a peptide which has been synthetically manufactured to act in the same way as the body’s own natural hormone. As a result of its consumption, the body’s melanocytes are stimulated to produce melanin which enables people to tan. Peptides consist of one or more amino acids. These protein-based building blocks play a vital role in how our bodies function.
Melanotan II works by Melanin which is the pigment which is responsible for determining someone’s skin and hair colour as well as the colour of their eyes (retina). Its production and release is controlled by the pituitary glands by the polypeptide melanocortin and is a hormonal process. Once activated, this hormone is naturally produced by the specialised skin cells, the melanocytes which are located in the upper layer of skin.
The scientific term for tanning is called melanogenesis, and it is the body’s natural protection against damage from harmful UV rays including damage to the skin’s DNA. In the natural process called ultra fast internal conversion, the melanin within the skin cells absorbs the harmful ultraviolet rays of the sun, converts them into heat and also causes the skin to tan.
Melanotan II is a synthetic melanocortin which mimics this natural process. It acts as a hormonal catalyst encouraging the body’s skin cells to produce more melanin. In this way, the skin is protected. Tanning can take place much more quickly without spending hours in the sun and without the negative effects it can have on the skin and long-term health.
The Benefits of Taking Melanotan II?
Although some companies claim that Melanotan II can stop skin cancer, this is misleading. What it does is to limit damage to the skin by the production of melanin and the protection of deep skin pigmentation in the form of a tan.
Melanotan II also has other effects:

Growth hormone (GH) or somatotropin, also known as human growth hormone (HGH) in its human form, is a peptide hormone that stimulates growth, cell reproduction, and cell regeneration in humans and other animals. It is important in human development. GH also stimulates production of IGF-1 and increases the concentration of glucose and free fatty acids. It is a type of mitogen which is specific only to the receptors on certain types of cells. GH is a 191-amino acid, single-chain polypeptide that is synthesized, stored and secreted by somatotropic cells within the lateral wings of the anterior pituitary gland.
Human Growth Hormone 191AA enhances anabolism a metabolic pathways set that allow molecules construction from smaller units and promotes the growth of your body cells, uphence it in turn, increases these cells multiplication rate.
People have been using HGH191AA as an anti-ageing therapy because of the benefits that it often carries to the treatment of degenerative conditions that are related to age.
Most bodybuilders who have tried using the peptide have had good results in elevated repair and increased muscle volume but also because HGH191AA will promote body fat loss (derived from the process of stimulation of the cells that often make use of fats). It’s a fact that GH itself stimulates the hydrolysis of triglycerides in adipose tissue (body fat), which result in weight loss.
HGH 191AA has the capability of improving the healing of injuries. Tests have revealed positive results in the damaged cartilage regeneration using this peptide together with the insulin-growth factor.
Those derived effects shouldn’t be credited to the peptide alone. The main agent of that benefit is the liver organ due to Human Growth Hormone 191AA only fulfilling a stimulation function of that organ, which is typically the only one capable of producing insulin-like growth factors (IGF) at a limited amount.
Also, athletes can benefit by improving their endurance owing to the capability of Human Growth Hormone 191AA to stimulate red blood cell production through a process known as erythropoiesis, which concurrently supports anabolism promotion.
Dosage
Users who have used HGH191AA at a daily dose of 2 to 6 IU have experienced a notable loss of body fat; however, the required doses usually vary from one individual to another.
Where to inject: Injected into the body fat around the stomach area or directly into muscle.
Suggested Injection Dosage is more of a personal choice of 2-6 IU every day or other day
Ideally Bacteriostatic Water should be used to reconstitute the powder.
How to Mix the water and peptide together.
Draw the bacteriostatic water into the syringe and inject it into the vial with powder, never shake, gently rotate the vial between your fingers until all of the powder has dissolved.
Can be taken after exercise or minimum 1 hour before bed.

Peptides are stored in a lyophilized (a freeze dried fine powder) state and so need reconstitution before they can be used. Bacteriostatic water is generally used although some peptides for example IGF1 type peptides Acetic acid is used. Both extends the storage life of the reconstituted product and also allows multiple doses to be drawn up out of the vial, which is more convenient and cost-effective in a research context. However, for IGF1 DES and IGF1 Long R3, Acetic Acid 0.9% is favoured for reconstitution due to buffering issues and poor solubility when using bacteriostatic water.
Looking at the various diluting agents inmore detail:
Bacteriostatic Water
This is a sterile, non pyrogenic preparationof water for injection containing 0.9% (9 mg/mL) of benzyl alcohol added as a bacteriostatic preservative. It is supplied in a multiple-dose container from which repeated withdrawals may be made to dilute or dissolve drugs for injection. The pH is 5.7 (4.5 to 7.0). Bacteriostatic water is used to reconstitute all peptides, although for IGF1 derivatives Acetic Acid is recommended.
Acetic Acid Water
Acetic acid water benefits over Bacteriostatic water is it can help increase solubility of certain peptides and keep them more stable.
Peptides come to you in alyophilised, freeze-dried form. Like this, the peptides can but must be kept out of direct sunlight. It is always recommended to store in a refrigerator. If they are not going to be used when purchased then they can be stored in a freezer where they will remain stable for approximately 48 months.
Please ensure that your freezer is not ‘frost free’ or ‘auto defrosting’ as constant freeze/thaw cycles will degrade the peptides over time.
Storage of your peptides once you have mixed them.
Once the peptides have been reconstituted into a liquid solution they must be refrigerated at a temperature between 2-8c.
If stored at room temperature some peptides may begin to degrade after as little as 24 hours.
For Your Information
All our peptides are stored at -2 / -8 until the day of dispatch. When mixing, apply the water slowly and carefully to the powder avoiding making bubbles. Extreme care needs to be practiced when reconstituting as the amino acid structures are very fragile which makes incorrect techniques for reconstituting can break these structures. Do not shake peptides aggressively if any powder is left in the vial after a few minutes, as this also can break the fragile structure of the amino acids effectively rendering them useless and ineffective. Just gently swirl till mixed, great care needs to be used. When storing in the refrigerator make sure they are in a stable place.
Peptide therapy is becoming well known within the public sector. For example most effective skin creams on the market will contain peptides to help skin stay youthful.
Athletes have been aware of Peptide use for decades to boost performance and recovery.
Peptides are composed of amino acids of which our bodies contain over 7000 and are found in all cells of the body.
Peptide therapy refers to restoring the number of peptides to stimulate cellular growth systems within our bodies for specific targets we want to achieve.
Using a specific protocol we can produce a specific reaction either hormonal or enzymatic to treat a variety ofconditions.
Typically administration is by SubQ or IM injection, nasal spray, Sublingual drops, capsules and topical creams.
Benefits of peptide therapy include:
· Boost hormonal and enzyme levels
· Reduce the signs of aging by improving skin texture
· Helps to stimulate fat burning, reduce cellulite and maintain healthy weight management
· Elevates athletic performance
· Proliferates muscle mass
· Helps reverse sexual dysfunction and increase libido
· Increase energy
· Improves mental health
· Promote healthy body function
· Stimulates healing, repair and regeneration processes of the body
· Curbs joint and muscle pain
· Enhance cognitive function and memory
· Can help safeguard against age related diseases
Peptide therapy has been shown to be an effective and generally safe practice with side effects typically being dose dependent.
There is no best peptide therapy as its effectiveness is down to the individual’s condition and specific targets.
It’s advised to consult with a healthcare professional before peptide therapy use, as peptides classification is research products.
With the popularity of peptides becoming more aware mainstream public market so are the different ways to be administered.
The most effect for most peptides is by injection either subcutaneously or intra muscularly. The type of needle and syringe needed should not make even the most needle phobic individual squeamishas the correct type is what is known as microfine, ideally with an 8mm microfine pin.
The administered either subcutaneously or intra muscularly the following information explains both processes
Subcutaneous
Subcutaneous injection is administered onto fatty tissues under the skin. The fatty layer is situated immediately beneath the skin and contains few blood vessels. The subcutaneous shot is shallower compared to injections on muscle tissues. Subcutaneous injection is suitable for administering medications that are slowly absorbed in the bloodstream. Examples of such medication is insulin, some fertility drugs, and blood thinners. Subcutaneous injection is safe and requires little force as compared to intramuscular injections. The few blood vessels on this fat layer make itideal for drugs that need to be absorbed and used slowly in the body. Mostly, the drugs that are to be administered daily are designed suitably for subcutaneous injection since it is simple.
How to perform subcutaneous injection:
• Choose areas such as thigh, top of buttocks or the most common around the abdomen. These areas are known to be fatty. When you are doing the injections severally, it’s important to rotate the injection areas to for complete healing. Don’t inject one area frequently.
• Ensure your hands are clean, and clean the injection area too. Use alcohol pad to clean. After clean, allow the area to dry.
• Use the needle to draw medicine into the syringe. Usually, you turn the vial upside down and pull the plunger to suck the drug. Ensure the syringe is free of bubbles by tapping it.
• Pinch a 2-inch thick skin of the fatty area within your thumb and a finger.
• Slide the needle at 90 degrees into the skin.
• Push the plunger steadily.
• Remove and safely dispose of the needle.
Intramuscular
Intramuscular injections are delivered into the muscle:
Intramuscular injection is an injection method used to deposit compounds into the muscle tissue. The method is suitable for administering medication that need to be absorbed quickly in the blood. The muscle tissue has less pain sensing nerves making it less painful. Examples of drugs administered using intramuscular injection include antibiotics, vaccinations and hormones.
Body areas on which IM can be done include shoulder muscle, thigh muscles, muscles on the hip.
Steps of intramuscular injection:
• Choose the site that is most suitable for the injection depending on your comfort and stability.
• Ensure you have done the injection dosage correctly.
• Prepare the medication following the recommended procedures and medical instructions.
• When ready, use alcohol pads to clean the injection area and allow it to dry.
• Inject the selected and cleaned area.
• After the injection removes the needle and disposes of it safely.
Other ways of peptide administration
Nasal Pathway
Nasal drug delivery system is a promising alternative route of administration for the several systemically acting drugs with poor bio availability and it has advantages in terms of improved patient acceptability and an alternative option to injecting but still providing a direct pathway into the bloodstream
Sublingual Pathway
Sublingual (abbreviated SL), from the Latin for "under the tongue", refers to the pharmacological route of administration by which substances diffuse into the blood through tissues under the tongue. Many compounds and drugs are absorbed through sublingual administration, including cardiovascular drugs, steroids, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, opioid analgesics, THC, CBD, some proteins and increasingly vitamins and minerals.
How SL works
When a chemical comes in contact with the mucous membrane beneath the tongue, it is absorbed. Because the connective tissue beneath the epithelium contains a profusion of capillaries, the substance then diffuses into them and enters the venous circulation. In contrast, substances absorbed in the intestines are subject to first-pass metabolism in the liver before entering the general circulation.
Sublingual administration has certain advantages over oral administration. Being more direct, it is often faster onset of action, and it ensures that the substance will risk degradation only by salivary enzymes before entering the bloodstream, where as orally administered drugs must survive passage through the hostile environment of the gastrointestinal tract, which risks degrading them by up to 25%, by either stomach acid or bile, or by enzymes such as monoamine oxidase (MAO). Furthermore, after absorption from the gastrointestinal tract, such drugs must pass to the liver, where they may be extensively altered; this is known as the first pass effect of drug metabolism. Due to the digestive activity of the stomach and intestines, the oral route is unsuitable for certain substances.
Capsules
The oral administration of therapeutic peptides and proteins is favoured from a patient and commercial point of view for a market that do not favour injectable or nasal pathway. Even though oral administration of peptides are effective when used correctly they are the least effective pathway due to having to pass through the digestive tract.
