You need to be properly informed in the storing and usage of peptides
-- they denature rapidly if you mishandle them.
If you order 30 mg (which is a sufficient amount for a first-time beginner cycle) you will receive your 30 mg of "lyophilized" (it means
"freeze-dried") melanotan II.
Put two vials in the freezer (deep freeze if you have one) -- DO NOT
RECONSTITUTE (reconstitute just means "mix" with bacteriostatic water) these vials. Just freeze them as is. If you do not have a freezer, the fridge is perfectly fine as well. The peptide should last for a long time.
Then with the vial you are going to be using, reconstitute (mix with
bacteriostatic water).
To mix the vial with bact water, take one of the syringes (BD Ultrafine II 1cc or 1/3 cc are excellent and I recommend them) and grab your bacteriostatic water. If using a 1 cc syringe (100 units) use the syringe to withdraw 1 full ml (1cc) and inject that into the vial of melanotan II through the rubber. Be sure to aim the needle towards the glass, so that it will trickle down. Swirl the vial to thoroughly mix and let the peptide dissolve.
So now you have 100 units (1cc) of bacteriostatic water mixed with 10 mg of melanotan II in your vial.
Then inject roughly 100 units (1 cc) of air into the vial so that the vial is not a vacuum -- otherwise withdrawing peptide will be tricky because of suction in the vial (not all vials have vacuum, so don’t worry). Don't inject too much air into the vial; otherwise the air pressure will push too much air back into the syringe when you try to withdraw the peptide for injection. Around 100 units usually works fine -- the "units" I'm using as a ref. for injecting are on the side of the syringes (100 unit = one full syringe).
Now, that the vial is mixed (reconstituted), when you withdraw 10 units of the substance, that equals 1 mg of melanotan II. So 30 units would equal 3 mg, get the idea? (NOTE: this is just for example)
Now you're ready for subcutaneous injection. If you've never performed sub-q injection before, it's very simple, and if done right, you literally don't feel anything. The needles used for sub-q injection are extremely small (8 mm) and you only go in 5 mm or so -- just into fatty tissue beneath skin. NOT intravenous or intramuscular this is a bit more complicated. Certain diabetics perform sub-q injections with the same tiny needles you'll be using two-three times a day.
You can use the same syringe you used to add the bacteriostatic water to the vial for your first injection. But never use the same syringe twice on yourself -- this is a universal rule no matter what you're injecting. Syringes and bacteriostatic water are extremely cheap and you can get them with ease.
You will store the reconstituted (mixed) vial in your fridge -- NOT your freezer like the others.
The recommended dose for the first timer is roughly .5mg after dinner. Dosing at night can help avoid any possible nausea. Nausea typically goes away after the first couple doses. Listen to your body, it's nothing to be alarmed about, it's perfectly normal. Your body is simply finding a new homeostasis as it acclimates to the peptide in your blood. Your body adjusts within 2-4 days at the latest and you will never have any nausea again -- unless you come off melanotan II for a long time (over 2 months) and then resume heavy dosing. So remember, the nausea is COMPLETELY normal and entirely goes away. The harder and more frequent erections as a side effect however will persist for as long as you are taking melanotan II. melanotan II is more powerful than Viagra in this regard, and that is why we are interested in the analogue version of melanotan II called bremelanotide (PT-141) to treat ED as well!
After a few days of .5mg (1/20th of a vial), work up to where you can take a dose around 1mg. Play with the dose until desired shade of tan is achieved. From there, maintenance dosing is minimal (ie: .5mg every 3-4 days). Any dosing chart stating that you should take higher than 1mg is outdated and dangerous.
Remember, the lyophilized melanotan II (freeze dried) will last in your freezer for a couple years. But once mixed with bact water, the melanotan II will degrade. YOU MUST STORE THE RECONSTITUTED melanotan II in the REFRIGERATOR -- NOT freezer. Also, there is no magic pill or formula here. Trial and error are critical to learning.
