What weekly melanotan dose in mg is needed for tanning, and once you quit, does the color go away more quickly than usual?

I'm trying to figure out the number of vials required so I can have a light honey tan that carries me from June through September while getting very little sun.

So for week 1, my dose is 200mcg daily for 5 days. Then week 2, I move to 250 mcg on alternate days...for upkeep, 200-250mg twice weekly...I'll need to monitor how it progresses, since I've never researched this before.

I have to mention, by day 4 I've hit maintenance already...going darker isn't my goal, I was after a more sunkissed look...we'll see how it turns out. My skin is olive to start, and I tan pretty readily, though I usually get a minor burn on the first summer exposure. This time, no burn

Could a smaller dose still eventually produce the tan you're after? Since I'm not in a hurry to tan, I'd prefer to take less and just let it take more time to reach that point.

Thanks, I really appreciate that.

Avoid MT2. That one is the bad stuff.

What's the reason for that?

So yeah, I went ahead and placed an order for MT-1.... Fingers crossed it actually shows up! lol

Keep us posted on your experience!! Honestly, it's worked incredibly well in my case — so much so that I'm staying out of the sun now because I'm becoming a brown nut

I'll be sure to update you on how it turns out. My goal is just a light tan—nothing too deep.

I've been wondering what this does to Vitamin D levels.

Has anyone here bumped up their Vitamin D intake while using it?

According to Google:

Yes, it is harder for darker skin to produce vitamin D from sunlight because high levels of melanin act as a natural filter that blocks ultraviolet B (UVB) rays. [1, 2]

How Melanin Affects Vitamin D

• • Slower production: Melanin reduces the skin's ability to synthesize vitamin D from sunlight. [1, 2]
  • More time needed: Darker skin tones may need significantly longer sun exposure (ranging from three to six times longer) than lighter skin tones to make the same amount of vitamin D. [1, 2]
  • Higher deficiency risk: People with dark skin living far from the equator or in northern regions are much more prone to low vitamin D levels. [1, 2]

I don't take extra vitamin D, for that reason; my routine is d3 combined with k2

I'm in the same boat...d3 and k2

With fair skin, that's likely what you'll end up with...but if your skin is olive-toned, you might go darker than you intended.
