Has anyone found the new place to buy melanotan now?? I've been reading that there are companies claiming to sell melanotan in china with shady things mixed in?

I have a spot under my left boob that won't tan at all even though it used to as well as random patches on my labia that are super white & the rest is tan.. It used to tan as well.. Do you think the tan injections would fix that or any idea what it could be?? I'm so self conscience of this sudden not tanning white patches on my labia & under my boob!! Thanks.

Ships from California!

Just wanted to say again that this is where I ordered from. I ordered on 1/22 and received it on 1/27. Shipping was 9.99 and my whole order was less than $75. (3 bottles, syringes, and 3 tubes of water) I'm only on my second day because I kept falling asleep too early. :/ So far, no major side effects. I inject about an hour before bed. The first morning after I had a little bit of a headache though. I took 7 units the first time, 8 last night, and will take 10 tonight.

If you're still unsure about injecting, watch the videos that the site provides. The tip about the proper angle helped me a lot since I bled the first time but not the second.

White, untannable patches are fairly common when using tanning beds. They are caused by a fungus. Tan injections should not have this problem since you will be tanning from the inside.

Anybody know if they sell extra syringes and sterile water OTC at say, CVS or walgreens? I've just placed my MII order and the site says they are limited on how much of the water and needles they can sell.

Bacteriostaticwater.co.uk sells good safe mixing water at a good price. And if you have a local needle exchange go there and ask for insulin needles, they are the thinnest and easiest to use to inject. They are one use so get a few if you can as you dont necessarily need syringes.

hey ladies
Does anyone know where I can get this shipped to Canada? I went to a tanning bed and got sun poisoning. Was sick for a week with the worst sunburn EVER. Want to have a light olive tan like I just got back from vacation without looking like a lobster.

I finished my first bottle. I'm definitely darker but not really tan yet. I'm naturally very white so I'm not surprised that this is taking a while. I've noticed a couple new freckles but nothing major. Right now I'm just dark enough to have a "healthy glow" and I've lost a few pounds.

For Canadian girls - if you order Melanotan from a supplier outside Canada it won't get through customs.

A Canadian supplier is canadapeptides.com - they send a lab analysis with your order stating the purity is 98% or above (or else they can't sell/send it).

Here's an excerpt from the Wikipedia article about possible health risks. It's a synthetic hormone analogue. Why are you all so willing to use yourself as guinea pigs for a product whose safety has yet to be demonstrated?

[edit (http://forum.stripperweb.com/w/index.php?title=Melanotan_II&action=edit&section=5)] Health warnings on "melanotan" products sold for human use

In 2007, the FDA issued a Warning Letter (http://forum.stripperweb.com/wiki/FDA_Warning_Letter) to an American online vendor illegally marketing melanotan II on the internet as a drug that prevents skin cancer and assists tanning. The FDA has not licensed melanotan II, and explained: "There is no evidence that the product is generally recognized as safe and effective (http://forum.stripperweb.com/wiki/Generally_recognized_as_safe_and_effective) [GRAS/E] for its labeled uses." The FDA concurrently gave a blanket warning advising consumers to, "stop using Melanotan II, an unapproved product".[30] (http://forum.stripperweb.com/#cite_note-29)
On August 8, 2008 the Danish Medicines Agency (http://forum.stripperweb.com/wiki/Danish_Medicines_Agency) (DMA) issued a warning[31] (http://forum.stripperweb.com/#cite_note-30) against the usage of any product called "Melanotan" purchased on the internet, noting that claims that imply that it has an, "effect" for protection against skin cancer (http://forum.stripperweb.com/wiki/Skin_cancer), "has not been documented". The DMA further warned that Melanotan has not undergone tests for its effect and possible side effects, and is an "illegal medicinal product" that it is not licensed for usage in the EU (http://forum.stripperweb.com/wiki/European_Union) or the USA.
The UK Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (http://forum.stripperweb.com/wiki/Medicines_and_Healthcare_products_Regulatory_Agenc y) issued a similar warning on November 17, 2008[32] (http://forum.stripperweb.com/#cite_note-31) stating that "We are warning people not to use this product. Don’t be fooled into thinking that Melanotan offers a shortcut to a safer and more even tan. The safety of these products is unknown and they are unlicensed in the UK. The side effects could be extremely serious. If you have used either of these products do not use them again and if you have any concerns you should seek advice from your doctor.”
The FDA issued a warning letter to another online vendor in January 2009 selling "10 MG MT 2 [Melanotan II] -American Lab" as advertisements of the products on their website were in breach of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (http://forum.stripperweb.com/wiki/Federal_Food,_Drug,_and_Cosmetic_Act) as the site was selling "new drug" products "intended for human use".[33] (http://forum.stripperweb.com/#cite_note-32)
The Irish Medicines Board (IMB) issued a precautionary safety alert on February 27, 2009 regarding the use of "the unauthorised medicine Melanotan (I and II)", sold as a powder for injection, stating that "Melanotan is not authorised in Ireland and therefore the IMB cannot guarantee the efficacy, safety or quality of this product."[4] (http://forum.stripperweb.com/#cite_note-IMB-3) In its release, the IMB announced that its tests had found the presence of microbial contamination in a vial of water sold together with melanotan powder which "would expose recipients to a risk of serious infection".
The Norwegian Medicines Agency (http://forum.stripperweb.com/wiki/Norwegian_Medicines_Agency) has issued warnings in 2007[34] (http://forum.stripperweb.com/#cite_note-33) and 2009[5] (http://forum.stripperweb.com/#cite_note-NoMA-4) about the use of "Melanotan" sold online, while a spokesman for the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (http://forum.stripperweb.com/wiki/Therapeutic_Goods_Administration) warned consumers to be "very wary" of using it.[24] (http://forum.stripperweb.com/#cite_note-HeraldSun-23)
In late July 2010 the Swedish Medical Products Agency (http://forum.stripperweb.com/wiki/Medical_Products_Agency_(Sweden)) issued a warning against the usage of melanotan II. [35] (http://forum.stripperweb.com/#cite_note-MPA-34)

Good luck.

I read hundreds of reviews on this stuff before i started using it, and these people had been using it for years. Ive been using it for months and Im fine. No problems.
If it kills me, oh well….it just beat out smog, criminals, car wrecks, booty shots, terrorists..
Gon die eventually, Id like to be a nice shade of bronze when I go down!

They are issuing warnings but not really stating why.

Personally I stopped using it because I used it for two weeks plus tanning and didn't really get that dark. At least not that much more darker than tanning. Some of y'all say you are nearly black, I think perhaps this may have to do with me being naturally blond skin type II. I do have some new freckles and my hair is darkening.

And actually I find it cool that my hair darkened cause I would like laser hair hair removal and couldn't have it done before. So I will get back on melanotan when I wanna do that.

But ultimately, the reason I wanted to do melanotan was to have a tan without sun. We all know the dangers of sun. But I am using melanotan and STILL using the tanning bed, sooo it's not making much sense here. And if there is possibly something really wrong with shooting up melanotan, it doesn't make sense to compound my health problems with using tanning beds AND shooting up. This is just my opinion. Perhaps I would continue if I was hella darker.

But I didn't stop for health reasons, I stopped because my skin isn't really that dark and I don't wanna buy anymore right now.

Perhaps again in the future.

lilmisssunshine, Where did you order your supply from? I wonder if some suppliers have a more pure product, and thats why some people get really dark and others don't.

im using new age tan.

i asked my friends if i look dark and they said, "maybe".

if i am injecting a substance into my body, i want them to say hell yea.

it should be noticable.

i think maybe it's because i'm just so pale/blond to begin with. typically if i use the tanning bed and two coats of loreal sublime glow, i look darker than this without injecting.

although i will say melanotan has a more natural color whereas self tanners can be kinda orange sometimes.

I still stay keep at it, ten units per day, and tanning in the sun or in the tanning bed a few times a week. Once your reach your desired color, it takes FOREVER to fade, so it's not that big of a deal to hit up the tanning bed a handful of times since the color lasts SO long!

considering this but really concerned about health side effects... :/ its funny that those governments have issues several warnings telling us to not use it but don't say why? don't explicitly say that it is dangerous or unhealthy? i'll probably be too afraid to use it until it gets the all-clear... which who knows WHEN that will be.

has anyone noticed any negative side effects from extended use?

All they're saying is that no studies have shown it to be safe. I have a hard time taking their warning seriously considering they don't cite any studies which show that it isn't safe. Consider especially that unless you don't use cosmetics, you're exposing yourself daily to a number of chemicals which have been shown to be linked to a number of health defects:

Considering I have done all kinds of drugs in my life and have had questionable unprotected sex at times, texted while driving and even ate sandwich meat beyond the expiration date (lol), I don't really care if they have deemed it safe yet or not.

I have also taken yasmin, accutane, anti-depressants, had liposuction and done all the other crazy shit that doctors and pharmaceutical companies have come up with.

I'm not saying it's safe, but I also highly doubt it's that bad for you.

I just got my order from http://europatan.eu/melanotan/index.php today. It was in a beat up USPS envelope, which is rather half assed packaging considering there are little glass vials inside. It didn't even have a printed label like a real business would. My address was hand written, and the envelope had mismatched postage stamps. Ugh. Seems rather fly by night.

I'm wishing newagetan was up last week when I decided to order. To those who used them, was the delivery any more professional?

thank you for sharing this information, i'm sorry they were so unprofessional :/

i was doing some research on the safety of Melanotan II and this is what i found on http://buymelanotanii.com/sunless-tanning:

"
This peptide has been going through extensive testing and research over the past ten years, however it is still not yet approved for use by the FDA. So far, it is effective only when administered by subcutaneous injection, not orally. Since Melanotan must be administered with insulin needles, it will never be FDA approved for over-the-counter use until an effective oral form is developed.
Researchers at the University of Arizona are no longer conducting research with Melanotan I, although research continues for Melanotan II."






do you think this is true? that it is safe but the FDA will simply not approve of it until an effective oral form is developed?




not sure... i read elsewhere that there isn't an oral form because the digestive tract destroys the peptide before it can be absorbed and create a tan, and that's why it must be entered into the bloodstream...




thoughts?

I could absolutely see that as being true. ^^


Even tho my stuff was about to fall out of my ripped envelope, I'm still going to use it! I did already pay for it after all. Last night was injection #1 and I ain't dead yet. Had some mild nausea and headache for 10 min. Then went to bed just fine. The needle didn't hurt at all.

Im on day 8 and still no drastic change. I went to the beach and got some color but that was obviously from laying out for hours.

^How much are you taking?

I've been doing 10ml doses nightly. Is that too much? My package came with no instructions. It's been less than a week for me and I am TAN. This is the first time my face has had color, ever. I am combining injections with time in the tanning bed. I cover my face with a towel, but still get color all over.

I did not get any darkened or new moles. I have lots of small flat moles, there has been no change in them. The rest of me is so much darker that the spots just blend.

AudrinaN
02-21-2011, 12:20 PM
Sapphire..took me about 10 days I guess, with tanning bed here n there.

Also, I don't really feel like reading thru all these all over again, but didnt somebody mention filling up the syringe when they first get the shipment and putting it in the fridge?
I was wondering, wouldnt that be unsafe to inject the same needle everyday? I mean, thats the only way you will get it out of the syringe, is by injecting it. Maybe I need to go back up and read….
Seems more convenient to just have the syringe full and ready to go, but really unsafe too…..

Lacy Luck
02-21-2011, 12:29 PM
^the powder is in a glass vial when you first get it. This is about 1 months supply, which you mix rt away with sterile water. The vial has a rubber stopper on top, so for every dose you use a fresh syringe to pull out just enough. There is no reusing needles.

Is it supposed to be refrigerated? This is the first I've heard about that.

AudrinaN
02-21-2011, 12:55 PM
Lacy..yes, I have my vial mixed up in the fridge, correctly. But I heard someone saying they pull it all into the syringe and store it in the fridge. Kinda like a pop out the needle, inject, throw it back in. I guess… Ill have to go back and read thru, it was on the 2 or 3rd page I think.
Anyways, yes, it says to store it in the fridge on the directions from Newagetan.
I keep mine there, but sometimes I travel with it and forget it in a suitcase or something….
Doesnt seem to harm it in any way.

The dosage is probably the reason why. I started off with less in the beginning and then moved up to 10mg. So I probably just have to wait a few more days. My moles are becoming more noticeable though, which isnt really a problem because i dont have that many..

What I did notice though is that it helped me heal from my really intense sunburn on my chest, which i repeat was reallyyyy bad. And I was pissed because I knew I would be in pain for a few days and my skin would start pealing, as it always does when this happens. But I injected the 10 mg that night and the next morning it was practically gone! It just appeared as a tan which never happens with my skin.

02-21-2011, 10:41 PM
Wait a minute! If ya'll have been doing 10ml dose every time then that's what the prob is. I have been following the dosing schedule on the packet that says to do 2ml for 3 days, 5 ml, 7ml, then 10 ml.

I was wondering how strict I had to stick to that.

If I had done 10ml from the start, I would probably be much darker.

I read thru the threads twice and read on the first page where JD injected 10 on the 2nd or 3rd night..so i followed suit…and voi la!

Do 10 every night.

My friend read a study to me saying that this product fucks with your insulin sensitivity, which basically means you will store fat quicker and easier. So ladies who are watching your weight it probably wouldn't be a bad idea to tighten up your diets while you use this stuff! I still wanna try it. ;D

I'm gonna ask him what he read tomorrow, I remember that after reading it he said it would never be approved because it does too many good things(the FDA likes to keep things that are actually helpful off the market), but he said the one thing it did was lower insulin sensitivity. So he said if I wanted to try it it would be in my best interest to be pretty strict with my diet. But seriously everything I'm finding right now says the opposite.

Hey girl! Everything I read (on the bodybuilding forums, etc.) said it actually makes you more sensitive to insulin, so that it helps you burn body fat, that's why they nicknamed it the "barbie drug", it makes you tan and skinny.

If you read otherwise though, please let us know!

As of today I have a new spot on my chin that wasn't there before. Its a tiny flat mole. I don't have any freckles. My bet is that the amount of freckles is up to your genes. I am half mexican, half irish, so I am going to tan pretty easy compared to if I were full white. I never got freckles before, so I will prob never get them since I am not genetically inclined to.

I have to rave about this stuff!!! I have only done 5 injections and I already look like a brazilian bikini chic. I cut my dose in half last night, I really don't need to get any darker.

i found a melanotan 2 nasal spray online? do you think this will be just as affective? it claims to be...

http://www.melanotanmagic.com/index.php?_a=viewProd&productId=14

not sure if injecting it or using it through nasal spray is more risky.

very interested in both the spray and injectable... just so paranoid because i have had an endocrine disorder in childhood so im always extremely wary of taking artificial hormones. do you think since i had an endocrine disorder in my past (which doesn't affect me at all anymore) that i should stay away from melanotan?
