Thread's been kind of slow lately & I have the next 2 days off of work. Had a colonoscopy this morning...with no anesthetic because my BP was a little too high (thanks Tren!). Past 2 day of gym time on a liquid diet have been interesting. So, anyway, that was fun. I now know what it's like to have nearly 5' of flexible tubing shoved up my rear end.

Anyway, since I'm not going to the gym today, I thought I'd talk a little bit about my experience with Melanotan II (MT-2). So, this stuff is essentially a peptide that increases your ability to tan. It is injected subQ. Most protocols indicate a loading phase followed by a maintenance phase. The dosages are usually measured in micrograms (mcg). While literature & anecdotes indicate users can notice pigmentation changes through injections alone, UV light (sun or tanning beds) really potentiate the effects. Some users report the darkening of existing freckles/moles while others have said they've developed new ones. There doesn't appear to be anything that indicates increased melanoma risk using MT-2, but obviously if a user is exposing themselves to UV rays, then that risk does increase. Other (common) side effects include nausea after pinning, increased libido, and increased erections. For my part, I've only ever experienced the nausea. It's not overwhelming, usually lasts for less than a minute, & only occurs when my injection is around 500mcg.

A little background: I'm a pale sonofabitch. Mostly Irish/Scottish ancestry & I sit squarely in the Type II category on the Fitzpatrick scale. (This scale is basically a quick dermatological tool to determine skin pigmentation type. It runs from Type I to Type VI. The lower the Type number, the paler a person is). I was usually slathered in SPF 1 billion growing up during the summers. As an adult, I'd really feel self-conscious at any gathering that took place outdoors, especially if it included a swimming pool since I felt like a ghost. After some reading, I gave MT-2 a try for the first time 2 summers ago.

My first experience with MT-2 I followed a pretty common loading protocol, but I avoided any UV exposure. I wanted to make sure that this stuff had built up in my system before purposely exposing myself to the sun, since the literature suggests that, once saturated, people who typically burn aren't likely to due to increased melanogenesis (the mechanism that basically increases your total melanin).

Once my 2 week loading phase was over, I ventured out into the sun. At first, I was doing around 20 minutes with a low SPF on (around 15, I think). I wasn't burning at all, which in & of itself was a pretty big shock. But over the course of a few weeks, I was gaining a little bit of color. So I became a bit emboldened & decided to up the time to 30 minutes & using actual tanning lotion (Hawaiian Tropic stuff with a measly SPF of 4). I was doing 3 of these outside sessions per week. Within a month, I was pretty dark. Not "holy poo poo he's changed races!"-dark, but much, much, much darker than I'd ever been before. I essentially had a really nice tan. What's more, I still wasn't burning or peeling at all. Add in a regimen of shaving everything except my rear end-crack & I felt like a bro for the first time in my life. A tan does absolute wonders for increasing the appearance of muscle definition/separation.

Anyway, I decided that I wouldn't run this stuff year-round, but just rather use it during our (extended) summers down here. So basically May thru September.

This past summer (my second summer using MT2), I lived in a location where I couldn't really go outside & lay out. So I took advantage of my gym's tanning beds which were free with membership. Each bed has a chart showing how much time in the bed would be equivalent to time in the sun. Again I decided to keep it to no more than (the equivalent of) 30 minutes 3 times a week. Mostly the results were the same after my loading phase. I began to develop a very good tan with nothing in the way of side effects. However, one of the differences was that I was actually developing a deep reddish color on certain parts of my body. Particularly my upper chest/clavicle/anterior delt area as well as the entirety of my triceps. Granted, it wasn't a stark contrast. The surrounding areas, which were the typical brownish-tan color kinda blended in & graduated into these more reddish areas. Also, don't be confused: this wasn't the more bright pink color that we associate with sunburns, but rather a deep, ruddy red color. I noticed all of this at first, but as weeks went by, I guess I just kind of accepted it since I still liked my color. A few folks that I know commented on the phenomenon but it was still more of a curiosity than some weird poo poo that was going on. All things being equal, my guess is that whatever mechanism caused this change between summers comes down to how I react to natural sunlight versus a tanning bed.

Also, what I've noticed with MT-2 at the end of each summer when I'd discontinue use is that I'd keep my color for nearly 2 months before the tan began to slowly fade. Armed with that knowledge, what I plan on doing this coming summer is doing my 3x/week regimen (outside; I'll walk to a park a couple of blocks away & just throw down a towel) and then once I reach a desirable color, I'll just keep up with my maintenance dosing but avoid UV exposure until I notice that the tan is beginning to fade.

A couple of notes: You can legally purchase MT-2 (as well as bacteriostatic water to reconstitute it & insulin syringes to inject it) all online. I'm not going to get into where, but there are plenty of above-board peptide companies online with good reviews of their MT-2. Freckles: I wasn't heavily freckled growing up, but I did have a few on my shoulders/upper chest once I'd reached adulthood. Using MT-2, they absolutely did darken (moreso than the surrounding skin). Aesthetically it doesn't really matter to me. None of them have developed into moles/growths. YMMV.

So that's my MT-2 experience to this point.

Instead of turning it into useable energy molecules, called ATP, it’s transformed into excess heat. Those who take dangerous doses of dinitrophenol raise their internal body temperatures to such an extent that it damages the protein in their bodies. Think of how an egg white changes when you heat it by boiling it or frying it. Egg whites are nearly all protein; how they react to heat is how your body’s proteins react to heat. Very high doses of dinitrophenol can cause immediate rigor mortis after death.
