Holy crap I just found out about this stuff. It would be pretty sweet if one injection gave you a tan for a month. It would suck if it was uneven (like your face turned dark brown or something).
what the hell is it?

It is not supposed to be. And hasn’t been so with humans who’ve been tested. This is actually in Phase III clinical trials from an Australian company. It’s supposed to hit the mass market at some point. If it’s going to be publicly traded, I’m investing. It’ll be fucking huge. Every girl wants to be tan. The cosmetic market as well as those in it for skin cancer prevention promises to be enormous.
In men it has been shown to increase erections and libido as well. Nice!
I think you can buy it for ‘research’ purposes. Check out:

I think I may have to do some ‘research’. I have some rats that are badly in need of a tan;-D

It is a drug that forces your body to increase the amount of melanin that it produces. Melanin is the substance that is responsible for skin pigment and darkening. People who take it will get darker without sun exposure. There are research chem companies that are currently selling it with daily oral administration I believe. But the company that is in Phase III trials planning a mass release is going to have it such that you can get 1 injection a month, I think.

Only bad things I’ve read about so far are increase in freckles with some people, and decrease in appetite (this could be good for majority of people). It seems to be pretty widely available online.

The only problem is price. IBE is selling it at $100 for 10mg vial and Muscle Research is out of stock (I think their Melanotan II is $100 as well). I’m going to do a bit of research and try and find a better source. I’m really looking forward to trying this.

I think they have been bought out by Clinuvel. But I think Clinuvel just may have the rights to Melanotan [I} which does not have the libido effecs as Melanotan II does but does produce the darkening. Clinuvel plans to have this on the market by 2009.

My bets are it’d be more expensive if anything. AG-Guys if you’re reading this, you should have a big launch and start it off really cheap and get a big chunk of the market share.

God loves a tryer;-D
I’ve used it before. It is injectable. It worked great. I did 1 mg a shot. Got 10 mg for 65$ from MR. I am naturally fairly tan once i’m out in the sun and I got extremely dark, so much to the point that people started to think I was mixed. I finished my supply about a month ago and I still have the tan today, but I do spend a couple hours in the sun a few days a week cause of training so that definitely helps.
I’ve been poking around their forum and I can’t see much information on dosing…
It looks like the general idea is 1mg per dose… but no information as to how often or how long.
Does anyone here know?
Is this injected intramuscular or intraveniously?
Where can one get this shit?
It’s injected subcutaneously, under the fat layer of the skin. Just like insulin. Basically, just pinch the skin up of the injection site, insert the needle, aspirate and plunge. The layer of fat over the abdomen is a common injection site for this drug.
