Protocol and dosages

• The dose can only be increased gradually, by a maximum of 0.25 mg every 3–4 days, if the peptide is well tolerated.
• A 4–6 week course is usually sufficient, but a little longer is possible if you need to continue maintaining the results.
• When stopping, gradually reduce the frequency of injections (to once every 3–4 days) and the dosage (to 0.25–0.5 mg) to help the body return to its natural level of melanin production without drastic changes.

How does Melanotan work?

The drug mimics the action of a natural hormone in our body, melanocortin α-MSH, which activates certain melanocortin receptors that produce the effects described above.

The drug primarily activates the MC1R receptor, which is responsible for the production of melanin (which causes tanning). However, since other receptors (MC1R, MC3R, MC4R, and MC5R) are similar in structure, they can also be affected and partially activated. Therefore, Melanotan may cause effects such as decreased appetite, improved mood and libido.

Tan

Melanotan activates the MC1R receptor on melanocytes, resulting in increased melanin synthesis, which makes the skin darker, tans faster, but at the same time provides better protection from the sun (Dorr et al., 1996, Böhm et al, 2024).

Improving libido in both sexes

The compound also activates the MC4R receptor, which is located in the hypothalamus (the part of the brain responsible for sexual behavior and arousal). When this receptor is stimulated, it enhances neural signals related to dopamine, which leads to increased libido and also promotes blood flow to the sexual organs in men, supporting erection (Wessells et al., 2000, Dorr et al., 1996).

Decreased appetite and weight loss

The medication also acts on other receptors in the hypothalamus (MC3R/MC4R), which, when activated, reduce hunger and regulate energy balance. The brain receives a signal of satiety, reducing food cravings, thereby inducing a calorie deficit and weight loss. Furthermore, activated receptors are involved in increasing metabolic activity and fat oxidation, which also has a beneficial effect on maintaining a healthy body weight (Glavas et al., 2007, Keen-Rhinehart & Bartness, 2007, Eliason et al., 2022).

Other metabolic and mood effects

The same MC3R/MC4R receptors that help control weight and appetite may also influence energy levels, motivation, stress resistance, and improved mood (Copperi et al., 2023, Markov et al., 2023).
