Youtube Biohackhumans Podcast Part 2Erections and Sunless Tans with Melanotan 2Jim GoetzSun tans are sexy. There I said it! However, with high levels of radiation and improper anti-oxidant activity in the endocrine system (skin), SNA mutation may occur resulting in skin cancer. Since the dawn of man, men have been dealing with erectile dysfunction. Pills and potions have been utilized. Some are effective. Some are not. Surgeries and other therapies have been developed to either place inserts into the penis or create new vascular tissue to increase erections. The idea of a sun tan and erection sounds like the beginning of a movie one would make sure the kids are long asleep before starting. In this case though, we are discussing science.In the 1960's, scientists were developing a drug to improve erections in men. It was discovered α-MSH caused sexual arousal. A side effect of this was that it also increased melanocyte production and as a result, a tanned complexion.Now for the science stuff...in case you were wondering how it worked:Melanotan 2 acts as a non-selective agonist of the melanocortin receptors, MC1, MC3, MC4, MC5.To the extent that melanotan 2 produces melanogenesis is believed to be caused by activation of the MC1 receptor The clinically documented sexual effects of melanotan 2 are thought to be related to its ability to activate the MC4 receptor (though the MC3 is thought to possibly also be involved but not 100% sure how at the moment of writing this article).
Other than 8 hour long raging hard erections, less pleasant side effects include: headache and nausea. Some studies in lab rats state the use of melanotan 2 causes weight loss. This would most likely be for the fact no animal would want to eat when they feel like throwing up.The medical community at this point discourages the use of unlicensed melanotan 2 bought on the internet as there have been a couple (but rare) documented cases of new nevi (moles), and uneven pigmentation. However, in these cases it does appear that any distortions cease to exist after 2 weeks of discontinued use.The idea of melanotan 2 is also to prevent skin cancer by creating more dense and increased amount of melanocytes, thus protecting the body from UV rays.FAQHow much do I need?This question is dependent on your skin type.Skin type and dose of melanotan 2Fair skin- 30mgMedium skin-10-20mgOlive skin- 10mgPLEASE NOTE: Do not take these doses at once. This is potentially dangerous. Please continue reading to learn how much to take.Taking melanotan 2 requires a 10 day phase of “loading”, which is essentially a higher dose phase to saturate your body in it.Each day of the loading phase, you are required to take 1mg.After the loading phase, you should take anywhere from .25mg (.025mL) to .5mg (.05mL) daily.You should repeat this until you are at your desired tan. If you have a medium or olive complexion, you may not want to do the loading phase and stick to a low dose every other day.Once you are at your desired tan level, you need to continue taking some weekly, in order to maintain your tan. You do this via injecting 1mg once per week.Do I need to continue taking melanotan 2, and how long does the tan last?The tan will last approximately 2-3 months, whereas it would normally (with only exposure to the sun) last about 4 weeks!How do I store Melanotan 2You should store lypholized melanotan 2 in the freezer, in which it will stay good for over a year, but it will last room temperature for 12 weeks before turning bad.If you have already mixed Melanotan 2, it will last for 3-5 weeks in the fridge, but about 2 weeks outside the fridge.***Never freeze mixed peptides!Why Do I Get Bug Bites But You Do Not?Dr. Mike BrandonSummer is here, and with the warm weather, most of us will be going outside to enjoy it in one form or another.
