250-500mcg per day

Dosage Frequency

Daily

Dosage Type

Subcutaneous Injection

MIXING & Usage Guidelines

01

Draw 2.0 mL of Bacteriostatic Water USP.

02

Carefully inject the Bacteriostatic Water into the Melanotan II vial, aiming the stream along the side of the vial and avoiding direct contact with the lyophilized powder.

03

Gently swirl the vial until the powder is fully dissolved and the solution becomes clear. Do not shake aggressively.

04

Once mixed, the concentration will be 5mg (5000mcg) per mL, equating to 500mcg per 10 units on a standard insulin syringe. (Reminder: 100 units = 1 mL — 200 units = 2 mL = full 10mg vial.)

05

Administer subcutaneously (SubQ). Common injection sites include the lower abdominal fat area, thigh, or love handle region.

06

After reconstitution, store the vial in the refrigerator. Use within 30 days to maintain potency and effectiveness.

WHEN TO TAKE it

Melanotan II is most commonly administered in the evening before bed, as this helps minimize the most common transient side effects such as nausea, flushing, and facial flushing — which tend to pass during sleep.

It can be taken with or without food, though some users find that dosing after a light meal helps reduce nausea, particularly during the initial loading phase. UV exposure — whether from natural sunlight or a tanning bed — is recommended after dosing to activate and maximize the pigmentation response.

For first-time users, starting at the lower end of the dosing range (250mcg) and increasing gradually allows the body to adapt and helps minimize side effects.

RECOMMENDED SCHEDULE

Loading Phase: 250mcg per day, increasing gradually to 500mcg per day as tolerated, until the desired level of pigmentation is achieved (typically 2–4 weeks)
Maintenance Phase: 250–500mcg once or twice per week to maintain pigmentation levels
UV Exposure: Regular sun or tanning bed exposure after dosing is recommended to activate the pigmentation response
Once the desired tan is achieved, many users reduce to a maintenance dose and extend the interval between injections based on individual response and skin tone.

Consult With a Healthcare Provider

Before considering the use of peptides, it’s important to speak with a licensed medical professional. They can assess your overall health, explain the potential benefits and risks, and provide tailored advice that fits your personal goals and medical history.

Choose Reputable, Quality Sources

To minimize the risk of contaminated or counterfeit products, source peptides from reputable vendors like Pacific Peptides. Choose trusted suppliers with strict quality standards and a proven track record in the fitness or medical community. You can also check out reviews from our trusted customers to make an informed decision.

Begin
Conservatively

When starting peptides, begin with the lowest dose that may offer results. Increase gradually only if necessary, paying close attention to how your body responds and watching for any unwanted effects along the way.

PRIORITISE RECOVERY & MONITORING

Peptide protocols should be supported by proper recovery and regular self monitoring. Prioritizing sleep, nutrition, hydration, and stress management helps maximize results while reducing the risk of unwanted effects. Allowing adequate time between cycles supports long term metabolic health and overall well being.
