How the app runs this for you

  • Auto-advance phases

    Melanotan II — Tan Loading ramps automatically week by week — no manual tracking. The current phase and remaining weeks are visible on the home tab and the lock-screen widget.

  • Smart reminders

    Per-protocol notifications fire at your chosen time. Missed-dose detection flags any log >15 minutes late, with one-tap resolve from the lock screen.

  • Body-map rotation

    Each log records the injection site. The body map remembers recency so you don't reuse the same spot — especially important on multi-week protocols.

  • Nausea (PT-141) — can be significant the first few doses

Melanotan II — Tan Loading FAQ

Answers, not hype.

  • Melanotan II — Tan Loading is a 12-week Sexual protocol using Melanotan II. Load 250 mcg daily for 10 days, then 500 mcg weekly to maintain

  • The standard cycle is 12+ weeks across 2 dose phases. Phase 1 (Load) starts at 0.25 mg per dose; the final phase (Maintain) reaches 0.5 mg. Individual response and provider guidance can extend or shorten the timeline.

  • Melanotan II — Tan Loading defaults to a 10 mg vial reconstituted with 2 ml of bacteriostatic water — a concentration of 5.00 mg/ml. The reconstitution calculator on this site lets you adjust to whatever vial size you actually have.

  • Melanotan II is a research peptide and is not FDA-approved for human use. The Melanotan II — Tan Loading schedule reflects patterns reported in research literature, not a clinical guideline. Use only under provider supervision.

  • Most Sexual protocols share a common side-effect pattern documented on the parent peptide page. Track them in a timeline view (the iOS app does this automatically) so you can see whether symptoms are settling at the current dose or worsening — that is the signal that determines whether to advance the next phase or hold.

  • No. Melanotan II — Tan Loading is a reference template summarizing patterns from authoritative sources. It is not a personalized treatment plan. Talk to a licensed healthcare provider before starting, modifying, or stopping any peptide protocol.
