Finding real Melanotan 1
-
So there are two peptides that having a tanning mechanism: Melanotan 1 and Melanotan 2.
I want to use Melanotan 1 for safety reasons, but it is generally harder to find, and I’ve run into situations where people try to pass off MT2 as MT1. You can typically tell because MT1 should not cause any sexual effects (ie erection).
Anyways, I would like to purchase some MT1 and get it tested. I have three vials in my freezer from Peptide Science. I’d like to order from another reliable vendor and send the vials to be tested.
Any suggestions on another vendor to try, and the best way to start testing them?
Thanks!

I got a vial of MT1 from PS last week and the effects line up with what's expected. Only some flushing for ~45 min after pin. Hard to tell the tanning effects as it's only been 4 days and not much UV exposure. Dosed 250mcg every day for the past 4 days. No sexual effects or appetite suppression.

I've researched MT1 from ion, peptide crafters, and nexaph. All have shown promising results.

None for me

@Aps32 I have also researched MT1 from Ion and Nexaph. I have type 1 skin. Im naturally pale, freckles and a red head. Ive always burned, peeled and then right back to pale. I have got excellent golden brown skin now that looks very natural. I did not get any of the sexual side effects of MT2 so I believe it was true MT1. Although slight nausea for about 30 minutes almost immediately after pinning. My wife has the same experience as me except her nausea lasted for about an hour or so.

@Shaqdiesel What was or is your dosing schedule? I'm debating on doing this daily for 10 days straight or every other day during the loading phase since the weather here in Dallas is looking like nothing but rain for the entire next week.
I didn't feel any nausea. Maybe I could imagine some within the first few minutes, but it was literally nothing. Just went about my day.

@Shaqdiesel Interesting. I have never had a problem with nausea when taking mt1. I've never tried mt2, but know a few people who have. I'm not a fan of the tan that it produces. I feel like the MT1 is much more natural-looking.

@gym.rat I did not load or dose it daily. I did it 2 to 3 times a week about 30 minutes before UV exposure. It worked great and fast. It was very noticeable after the 2nd or 3rd pin. I was prepping for a Mexico trip. While in Mexico for 2 weeks in mid to late April, I did not use sunscreen and I did not burn at all. I just got even tanner. I did not use the peptide in Mexico, only for about a month and a half prior to leaving for Mexico 2-3 times per week. I started with 125mcg for 2 pins, then 250 mcg for 2 pins, then 500mcg, 750 mcg and finally 1 mg. I have used it since returning from Mexico 2 times prior to UV exposure but at this point I probably can wait until the winter before I use it again. The tan is lasting and why take the peptide unless needed? I continue to not burn and maintain the tan without it. I hope this helps, YMMV.

@Aps32 The nausea is very slight anymore and doesn't last long but I do experience it. The tan looks very natural and I get a ton of compliments.

Did second pin earlier today for .500mcg and zero nausea. Lounged by the pool for 45 minutes. We've got some crappy Dallas weather coming so I may put off some dosing if I can't get any UV. That said I want to stick to approx every other day or 3x a week if anyone is following along.

I did a research project with a vial of MT1 from Ion Peptides. The project started low with 125 mcg for 2 doses. Then progressed to a loading phase of 250 mcg daily for 14 days. Dosing in the late morning or when I was going to be in the sun (walking dogs, laying out, gardening) There is typically about an hour of feeling very slightly nauseous. I quickly learned to have a few crackers and that helped tremendously. This by no means interrupted daily activities, but I was aware of it. Hydration is always a good idea as well. I am very fair. Don't really tan but do easily burn. I can't really be in direct sun for more than 30 minutes. I have a nice tan at this point. Started showing 7-10 days after pinning. I am about to go to 2 or 3 days per week and re-assess. Good Luck!
