What the fuck are molds? lol... moles??

I'm waiting on a friend to send me some. I've tanned a little in winter and it really helped with my complexion and my mood. I also wouldn't mind staying darker. For a brown guy, I'm a little more pale than I'd like to be. I'll probably just take a really low dose and tan like 5 minutes a few times a week.

No, they're talking about some pill that's supposed to make you tan from the inside out.  Coach IS talking about melatonin, though.

Works well. My friend uses it. He always goes a shade of red in the sun. Well he used it all the while he was on beaches in Thailand and his tan is absolutley epic now.

It will make any moles you have darker though and you have to jab yourself in the stomach which i'm not super keen on.

i researched it a while ago, decided against it for a few reasons:

-don't want to inject anything
-it can make your eyes darker (permanently)
-it can make your hair darker

It's a hormone and cannot suvive the digestive tract.  It's the same sort of thing as hgh, cypionate, and the like.

It does work, but your freckles get dark as hell to, almost black. And to me, the tan was more of a dark orange than brown. The freckels thing freaked me out though, so I stopped. And the other melatonin, with a little benadryl, and you sleep like a baby.

Hmmm. Melatonin (for sleeping) is a hormone and I used a sublingual spray form which worked awesome. I wonder if they could make a sublingual spray for melanotan (for tanning).

might want to read the following:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afamelanotide

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melanotan_II

specifically

As of 2009 no compound incorporating the melanotan peptide has ever been approved for use by any governmental drug regulatory bodies outside of clinical trials. Unlicensed and untested powders sold as "melanotan" are found on the Internet and are reported to be used by thousands of members of the general public. Multiple regulatory bodies have warned consumers the peptides may be unsafe and ineffective in usage with one regulatory agency warning that consumers who purchase any product labeled "melanotan" risk buying a counterfeit drug. Clinuvel Pharmaceuticals, the company developing the related peptide afamelanotide, has warned consumers that counterfeit products sold using the names "melanotan I and II", "pose a hazard to public health"

Usage of the melanotan peptides does not cause one's eyes to darken. It just doesn't happen. Both melanotan-1 and melanotan II have gone through several human clinical trials and no eye darkening has ever been reported.
What does happen though is that because the skin surrounding the eyes darkens the whites of eyes appear to become whiter and the colored part appears to darken.

See this : http://melanotan.org/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?num=1220789983/0

to better understand why folks' perception of their eye color changes.

i'm interested

will it work even better when used in corporation with a good tanning bed?
Title: Re: melanotan
Post by: lesaucer on November 07, 2009, 01:13:30 PM
yea i heard you can use it for one month without going the tanning bed, then after one month start going like 3-4 times a week and you will turn chocolate brown and its like almost impossible to burn on that stuff

As if your dealer has a fucking idea what he's selling you.  :D You think your dealer analyzes the product? They are trusting a guy with an email account out of China.
