Very cool! Thanks!
Rather sensational title, "Jersey Shore Drug Scandal!" I guess they have to sell magazines....eh

I'm not seeing that ^^^ in the "Star" article you've posted. Was there some other article in another publication? You mentioned "People"?

Yes, there is another article.. not as large as this one.. it was a small blurb in PEOPLE.. trying to find it..My Wife subscribes to just about every gossip + chick magazine known to man, such as I subscribe to every Muscle + Firearm magazine known to man...
But as you can see this has totally skewed off the point of the thread.. lol...
BUT..
I will search through the magazine stack my wife has...
and...
In this article.. J-Woww states all the FEMALES use injectable tanner (melanotan) -- and it's safe to assume.. not guarantee if all the males are pumping whatever they can into their bodies, if they catch J-woww slamming .25mgs of Melanotan, is it wrong to imagine THE SITUATION from going "HEY WHAT'S THAT!?" (Provided he didn't already know what it is..)
You can look at Ronnie and Sorrentino and TELL that they aren't au naturale .. You can tell they are Juiceheads as Snookie proclaims.. (just compare the arms of Sorrentino [i'm also guessing synthol use with him].. but RONNIE.. Through the show he was always in Perfect shape.. and then you see him in the after show, Puffy face, BIGGER than during filming.. I'm not an idiot and neither is anyone else.. these guys use AAS.
Now, the question remains .. are they really using Melanotan??
Ok, Now let's put this Jersey Shore to rest for now.. I am still confused on some things.. what's the best time of day to use melanotan II? And what if I wanna do the progressive approach.. just .25mgs ED until desired tan.. and then do you think I would be able to maintain at .25mgs EOD..?? And finally .. what is the overall scoop with tanning while using this?? Tan ONCE per week?? Every day?? What is typical protocol..?? I have skin that TANS really easily.. J/C bro.. You seem to be quite knowledgeable with this stuff.
Thanks.

It has not been scientifically established if there is a 'best' time to dose. What is advisable is to dose in the day time (ie: on a weekend where you have some free time) initially with the first injection of a given new batch of peptide (even from the same supplier). This way you can establish that the effects you experience from the peptide are the same as what is expected. Then once that is established you may consider dosing before going to sleep at night to limit experiencing side effects (plus frequently folks do experience feelings of tiredness after dosing). As far as getting some UV exposure that is really going to depend upon your skin type. Some folks who have Fitzpatrick type III skin find they need little to no additional UV exposure while those on the lower end of the scale find that limited exposure helps a bit. Again you're going to have to experiment a bit with your regimen to establish what works best for your individual physiology. As far as 0.25 mg EOD once you have the color you want that will likely be a decent regimen but again you'll have to experiment to see if you maintain or become darker or lighter. I would recommend that you ask those around you who you are comfortable sharing the knowledge of your peptide usage with to help you keep track of the darkness of your skin. That way you'll have more objective viewpoints to gage the level of darkness you're achieving. Also consider taking photos of yourself in the same settings and lighting to keep track of your level of pigmentation.
Looking forward to reading the bit from the People magazine article. Thanks again.

I'm no expert, but I've beeen using melanotan for 3 years. Now I just do a few shots. (.5mg) a few days before I want to be darker. The sides for me weren't too bad... a little stomach discomfort post inject that quickly passes. I don't tan so melanotan was a godsend for me. Did 1mg a day for 1 week, then .5mg per day for 1 week, then 1mg a day for a week. I got stupid dark. Its really pretty straight forward stuff. Personally I would do .5 a day at the start ED until you reach your desired levels then .25mg 4 times a week to keep it.
Hello again, did you have much luck locating :coollook: the People article? I've tried searching on Google about it without any luck.
Thanks
I just did my first two weeks of this stuff. Be sure to have some antihistamine, like clariton on hand, or take clariton before your first dose. Melanotan II releases histamines, and in some people, this can send them into anaphylactic shock. This is one of the sources of the nausea that many people complain about. Dangerous levels of histamine can be released, especially on the first dose, while your body is attacking the new substance. So don't overdose (best to start out with an underdose to allow your body to adjust to it), and have clariton on hand. You'll need it.
humm i dont like to hear the words anaphylactic shock with anything. This makes me woner about it. Anyone else have anything to say about this. Melanotan?
this is from a guy on a melanotan forum
I know I have been missing in action for quite awhile, but I have some important information that I wanted to share with you all. People have asked me from time to time if there are any long-term or short-term dangers associated with taking Melanotan. I have always maintained that it is non-toxic to the human body as has been documented in the original Epitan Clincal Phase I/II trials. However, most of these safety trials were performed using the "melanotan one" version of the drug, which is a linear polypeptide and only slightly different from the natural human a-MSH hormone. On the other hand, melanotan II is a more radical departure from the afore-mentioned polypeptide. This polypeptide is cyclic and it is this shape that enables it to bind more tightly to all of the melanocortin receptors than the linear version, which binds best to the melanocortin receptor (MC-1R) found on melanocyte cells.
Because melanotan II is a foreign substance to the body, it invokes an immune system response akin to an allergic reaction. Many of the so-called side-effects you have either heard about or experienced yourself are due to an abundant overdose of melanotan II in your blood. Wheezing, sneezing, congestion, facial flushing, and nausea are all possible symptoms. But your immune system must first be taught to recognize the melanotan II peptide before you might actually experience these side-effects ... which is why first time users usually don't have any adverse reactions. Upon first introduction (or perhaps over several events), your immune system produces a quantity of antibodies that are capable of recognizing the melanotan II peptide. These antibodies attach to the surfaces of Mast cells in the tissue and Basophils in the bloodstream. When next they encounter the specific foreign substance to which they were designed to detect, they release powerful chemicals such as histamine and heparin into the bloodstream. And it is this release of chemicals which causes the side-effects of the drug.
The degree to which the side-effects occur is directly proportional to how much peptide is in the bloodstream at one time. In the extreme case, anaphylactic shock is a possibility. This is a life-threatening condition characterized by swelling of body tissues, including the throat and hands, headache, uncontrollable itching, constriction of the airways and gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal pain, cramps, vomiting, and diarrhea, and a sudden drop in blood pressure. Since most of these dangers stem from the release of the amino acid derivative, histamine, by cells of the immune system, it is my suggestion that some form of anti-histamine be used as a preventive for those people who are especially sensitive to taking melanotan II. Just as well, much lower concentrations of the injected drug would also lessen the side-effects. For those taking notes, extrapolation of this principle out to its limits explains why a slow-release formulation of the drug is so invaluable and so necessary.
There are several types of anti-histamine on the market today including Zyrtec, Allegra, Claritin, Clarinex, and Benadryl. But these drugs can be divided into 1st generation and 2nd generation types. Older drugs such as Benadryl are less selective to the Histamine (H1) receptor and thus, generally cause certain side-effects such as drowiness and/or dizziness and dry mouth. In fact, many over-the-counter sleep aids contain the same active ingredients as Benadryl. The newer 2nd generation anti-histamines are far more selective to H1 and have an improved tolerability profile. The anti-histamine thought to work best is Zyrtec and Allegra. Allegra is non-sedating while Zyrtec may cause some drowiness in certain individuals. Claritin and Clarinex are minimally sedative.
In order to achieve the protection afforded by the anti-histamine, you will want to take it about 45-60 minutes before delivery of melanotan II. What you will achieve by doing this is a blocking of the Histamine receptors such that when Histamine is released into the bloodstream due to an allergen response, it has no where to attach and you will thus ward off an allergic reaction.

Probably the biggest factor causing this issue has to do with impurities in whatever melanotan II you're using. If one could get pure melanotan II this would almost certainly not be an issue because the body would treat it as it does its own endogenous pigmentary hormone (a-MSH). One has to use >=99% pure peptide to reduce the likelihood of impurities causing issues.
This issue is not unique to the melanotan peptides and in fact was well understood with another peptide hormone - insulin. Prior to the invention of humalog and other synthetic insulin analogs it was common to use bovine or porcine insulin. The biggest issue with doing that was, you guessed, allergies stemming from their usage.
The melanotan peptides have to be handled properly because they are subject to oxidative breakdown as well as biological breakdown (molds, bacteria, etc.) which inevitably contaminates a given vial of it. If you're using a peptide that hasn't been properly produced or properly handled after production you will absolutely have issues. You might try another supplier to see if changing your source alleviates this issue.

When the one chick accused Mike of looking like popeye, I almost died... TOO TRUE! The kid has no chest and back... his arms def look like they have synthol in 'em... they are ridiculous compared to the rest of his body! He's very mis-shaped. I don't like his body at ALL... small ass tool!
ANYWAY, back to the topic at hand... I would LOVE to be tan without sacrificing my skin in a tanning bed, but not sure if I would ever try this. Maybe if I had someone who was experienced and knew how to dose me, I would consider it...

Love that stuff, been using it for a few years and get weekly compliments on how tan or good my skin looks. And I rarely spend time in the sun but when I do it really seems to help amplify the effect and no sun burns.......take right before bed though, most people feel sick or upset stomach if taken earlier in the day.
