After many experimentations and comments from the forum members, I have decided to retire the information in this thread ... but will keep it here for historical purposes. The original intent of this thread was to follow the initial trial dosage levels used, but I have found that for a significant percentage of experimentors, these levels are too high and cause too many adverse side effects. Please see the updated guidelines for dosing in the new thread on this subject.

The following chart assumes a concentration of 0.02mg/kg of melanotan II. This amount is low enough to produce a tan with minimal side-effects. Although, you could also go with a lower concentration, say 0.017mg/kg -- but you will need a different chart. One more thing, the chart was compiled assuming that you are using 10mg vials.
 
10 mg / 12.00 injections = 0.833 mg  ---   42 kg =  92 lbs   @0.02mg/kg
 
10 mg / 11.50 injections = 0.870 mg  ---   43 kg =  96 lbs   @0.02mg/kg
10 mg / 11.00 injections = 0.909 mg  ---   45 kg = 100 lbs   @0.02mg/kg
 
10 mg / 10.50 injections = 0.952 mg  ---   48 kg = 105 lbs   @0.02mg/kg
10 mg / 10.00 injections = 1.000 mg  ---   50 kg = 110 lbs   @0.02mg/kg
 
10 mg /  9.50 injections = 1.053 mg  ---   53 kg = 116 lbs   @0.02mg/kg
10 mg /  9.00 injections = 1.111 mg  ---   55 kg = 122 lbs   @0.02mg/kg
 
10 mg /  8.50 injections = 1.176 mg  ---   59 kg = 130 lbs   @0.02mg/kg
10 mg /  8.00 injections = 1.250 mg  ---   63 kg = 138 lbs   @0.02mg/kg
 
10 mg /  7.50 injections = 1.333 mg  ---   67 kg = 147 lbs   @0.02mg/kg
10 mg /  7.00 injections = 1.429 mg  ---   71 kg = 157 lbs   @0.02mg/kg
 
10 mg /  6.75 injections = 1.481 mg  ---   74 kg = 163 lbs   @0.02mg/kg
10 mg /  6.50 injections = 1.538 mg  ---   77 kg = 170 lbs   @0.02mg/kg
10 mg /  6.25 injections = 1.600 mg  ---   80 kg = 176 lbs   @0.02mg/kg
10 mg /  6.00 injections = 1.667 mg  ---   83 kg = 184 lbs   @0.02mg/kg
 
10 mg /  5.75 injections = 1.739 mg  ---   87 kg = 192 lbs   @0.02mg/kg
10 mg /  5.50 injections = 1.818 mg  ---   91 kg = 200 lbs   @0.02mg/kg
10 mg /  5.25 injections = 1.905 mg  ---   95 kg = 210 lbs   @0.02mg/kg
10 mg /  5.00 injections = 2.000 mg  ---  100 kg = 220 lbs   @0.02mg/kg
 
10 mg /  4.75 injections = 2.105 mg  ---  105 kg = 232 lbs   @0.02mg/kg
10 mg /  4.50 injections = 2.222 mg  ---  111 kg = 245 lbs   @0.02mg/kg
10 mg /  4.25 injections = 2.353 mg  ---  118 kg = 259 lbs   @0.02mg/kg
10 mg /  4.00 injections = 2.500 mg  ---  125 kg = 276 lbs   @0.02mg/kg
 
The number of injections corresponds with how much diluant you will need to add to the vial. For instance, if you weigh 190lbs, you will be able to get 5.75 injections per vial at the proper concentration. Simply add 5.75cc to the vial.
 
The above assumes you are using 1cc syringes. If you are using 1/2cc syrings, divide the injection number by 2, add this much diluant. You will still have the same number of injections however. Following the above example ... 5.75 / 2 = 2.88cc, so add that amount. You will still have 5.75 injections but you will use 1/2cc syringes.
 
 
 

I weigh 175 lbs.  I've done 2 cycles of 10mg of melanotan II.  The first batch was of dubious quality as it had not been correctly manufactured.  I did 2mg EOD.  Noticed some good tanning effect.  
 
I did another 10mg from a different supplier, this time at 1/2 that dose.  ie:  1mg EOD.  I am very pleased with the tanning results.
 
It's been almost 4 weeks since my last dose and with minimal exposure since (1x 15 min tanning bed session per week) I am still very dark compared to my normal skin tone.  
 
When I do another 10mg it will be at the lower dose, or perhaps even lower.   I will not start that until I find my color fading to pre melanotan II levels.
 
This dosage is somewhat less than recommended above, but I seem to be getting good results from it.

Hi Tina,
 
Please ask your question seperately from this post -- its not relevant to the chart. In answer though, if you are splitting the normal amount of daily dose injections in two and you've only had 5 injections = 2.5 daily dose ... you are not anywhere near having a good build-up yet. It takes at least 8 full daily dose injections to be ready for beach sun.

I don't think it was ever made obvious, but to complete a full schedule or cycle for tanning, you will need approximately 12-15 injections given at the target concentration for your weight.
 
For example, I weigh 192 lbs; therefore, I will need to administer 15 injections at 1.739mg. In total, I will need 27mg to complete a full cycle. So, I will need to purchase three 10mg vials.

Just for getting it right: A full cycle is aprox. a month?

ok, so the one-cycle-range is 18 - 36 days (one shot every other day), right?

HELLO..... i must have forgotten to mention that i was willing to give 100mg of the most potent melanotan II to the person that was loving enough to answere my million dollar question. Because ive never had to inject myself before i had no idea what vollume the syringes held so when i was told to reconstitute the melanotan II with 150cc of water by a very experienced melanotan II user, I wigged out man, F%#@!! these things must be massive. So hopefully you can understand why i posted the above. Well it turns out that my friend left out the decimal point, so it should have read 1.50cc instead of 150cc.(der) So to anyone that didnt understand the amount of water to use when reconstituting their melanotan II in a 10mg vial, it really is simple. Ive been told that 5ml is a good amount to add because that way every 0.5ml-0.5cc (50 lines) would have 1mg melanotan II disolved within. WARNING. Dont take this as official advice though because im not an expert yet (if you hadnt noticed).

Please dont take offence to these corrections, i was only clearing this little error so as not to confuse other morons like myself (i know there out there) in future readings. The extensive explanations you give about this subject are amazing and i for one appreciate them all. Thanks mate.

hi all.  not sure if this question should be a new thread or not, but i do appreciate any and all feedback, particularly from the moderators and those with experience cycling melanotan II.  i'm a newbie and am looking to order  from M-R for the first time, and want to get everything i need for the full order.  I weigh ~170lbs and am a fitzpatrick 1 (maybe 0 if there were a category).  I know from the chart i'll need to inject 1.6mg by 6.25x (from 10mg vial).  I am still confused regarding syringes and the correct amount of dilutant/bacteriostatic water to add.  i would like to order a 50mg vial of melanotan II and all the bacteriostatic water at one time, i'm just not certain as to how many 5ml units of bact water to purchase and whether or not i need any other mixing vials.  lastly, i live in PA and the instructions suggest that one needs a prescription to obtain syringes.  any thoughts as to how to go about this?  sorry if this post is an old topic, just nervous about the entirre purchasing/mixing/injecting process.  never did it before.  thanks in advance.
 
peace

Please help!
 
I'm 270lbs.  After reading the dosing chart, I assume that I will be adding 4cc's of bacteriostatic water to each 10mg. vial of Melanotan II and injecting 1cc for each dose.  Is that correct?
