    additional FAQs

    I've never taken MT2 before. How much should I purchase, and how long will it last?

    If you decide to take MT2, there are basically two phases that you will go through. The first is called the "loading phase", where you will take an injection every day until you reach the color that you like, which usually takes 3-4 weeks. After that, you will go into the "maintenance phase" where you will take an injection once or twice a week just to maintain your color. If you decide to get in the sun or a tanning bed, your color will darken dramatically. If you decide to stop taking it completely, your color will last for about three months. Depending on your weight, most first time users start with either the 30 mg or 50 mg package.

    ----------------------------------------------------------

    How should I store my Melanotan II and how long will it last?

    You should store the vials in powder form in the freezer and they will last well over a year. After you have reconstituted them, keep them refrigerated and they will last 3-4 weeks.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------

    I've entered the maintenance phase. How can I make my reconstituted vials last longer than 3-4 weeks since I am only taking melanotan once or twice a week now?

    The best thing is to reconstitute your vials as you normally would. Then, pre-load your syringes and put them back in the freezer. When you are ready to use them, take them out of the freezer and let them thaw for about 5 minutes. Freezing and thawing one time will not degrade the peptide.

    ----------------------------------------------------

    How long until I start seeing results?

    You will probably experience a few side effects immediately after your first shot. If you have freckles, you should expect them to get darker before your actual skin color changes. You will notice a change in your skin color after 3-4 weeks.

    --------------------------------------------------------------

    How do I know how much Melanotan I should take per injection?

    How much you take per injection depends on your body weight. Reference the dosage chart )that will be emailed to you then you email me to request more information) to find the correct amount. Keep in mind that you should start lower than your recommended dose and gradually work up to it over the course of several days.

    ------------------------------------------------------

    Do I need to go in the sun to see results?

    It depends on your skin type. If you are skin type 1 or 2, you will probably need a low or moderate amount of sun exposure before your skin color changes. If you are skin type 3 or above, you should start to notice results without having to go into the sun.

    -------------------------------------------------

    How long will my tan last after I stop using Melanotan?

    If you completely quit using Melanotan, your color will fade gradually just like a natural tan would. It should take about three months before your color is completely gone. Instead of letting it fade and then going through the loading process again, most customers prefer to take a dose once or twice a week to maintain their color.

    Re: FAQ from vendor

    What is Melanotan / Melanotan 2

    Melanotan 1 and Melanotan 2 are research peptides for sale. It was first discovered by students at the University of Arizona whilst researching possible skin cancer prevention treatments.

    When your body is exposed to uv rays it produces a chemical called Melatonin, Melatonin is the bodys natural defence against these harmful uv-rays that are produced by the sun. When your body produces Melatonin the pigmante in your skin changes colour the more melatonin that is produced the darker your skin will go. Melanotan / Melanotan 2 is an amino acid that automatically triggers the production of melatonin without having to subject your body to harmful uv-rays.

    These qualities mean that not only does melanotan / melanotan 2 help protect your body against skin cancer but it also has the added benefit of giving the user an all over even tan.

    You can buy Melanotan / Melanotan 2 online today at Tantilise.com. Simply pay a visit to our online research peptide store and create your own personal account. Once you have opened your account you will be able to buy your Melanotan / Melanotan 2 at Tantilise.com.

    What is Melanotan II?

    What, exactly, is Melanotan II?
    Simply put, Melanotan II is based on a hormone that stimulates your body’s own melanin production, creating a deep and natural tan without exposure to tanning beds or the sun’s harmful rays. MT2 is mixed with bacteriostatic water and then injected into the skin where it increases your melanin levels, leading to a normal and “safe” tan.

    This process was developed by researchers at the University of Arizona who knew that one of the best defenses against skin cancer is a natural tan that has been slowly developed over weeks. So, they found a way to make the skin’s tanning cells (melanocytes) produce more tanning pigment (melanin). The result? A beautiful, natural looking tan without the usual risks.

    What does Melanotan II look like?
    Much like the people who benefit from it, MT2 can come in various shapes and sizes. Basically, it’s a white substance packaged in glass vials. However, because it’s lyophilized (or dried by freezing in a high vacuum) it can take on several appearances. Don’t worry, they’re all completely normal.

    How will it work for me?
    Because MT2 works naturally with your body, everyone’s experience can be different. We do know, however, that people with similar skin types tend to have similar results. So, once you know what your type is, you can get a pretty good idea of what to expect.

    [b]TYPE 1]
    This palest natural skin tone is the most sensitive to sun exposure. This group always burns, never tans and usually peels. They also freckle profusely in the sun.

    What to expect]If you have lots of freckles they’ll darken before the rest of your skin tone. Some new freckles may also show up. Don’t panic. This is completely normal and actually a sign that your MT2 is working. Since your skin type is naturally pale, your loading phase will be longer than other customers. You’ll need a fairly large amount of MT2 in your system before your skin tone changes. Most customers with skin Type 1 start experiencing a change in their overall color around the fourth week of injections. At that time, you’ll probably need a moderate amount of sun exposure to achieve a deep tan, but you should not burn or peel. Your freckles should become less noticeable as your overall skin tone gets darker and darker.

    Before you know it, you’ll have that tan you’ve always wanted.

    [b]TYPE 2]
    This group isn’t extremely pale but still has trouble tanning. They burn easily and usually peel but can eventually develop a slight tan.

    What to expect]Most of our customers fall into this skin type and MT2 usually works very well for them. If you have freckles, you can expect them to darken more quickly than the rest of your skin (most likely within the first week). Also, a few new freckles might appear. Your skin should start to darken around the third week of injections. You’ll probably need a low amount of sun exposure (less than those with skin Type 1) before you get the color you want, but you shouldn’t burn or peel.

    * A helpful tip]
    [b]TYPE 3]
    This covers the widest variety of skin tones and refers to people who burn moderately in the sun but can gradually tan to a light brown. It also covers those don’t burn much at all and always tan well to a medium shade of brown. People in this category peel occasionally after prolonged sun exposure, but don’t usually peel or freckle.

    What to expect]MT2 works great for people with this skin type. Just like people with paler skin, if you have freckles, they’ll darken before the rest of your skin tone. You may see a change in your overall skin tone as quickly as ten days after starting injections, although it takes most people closer to three weeks. People with this skin type usually do not have to go in the sun at all to notice a difference in skin tone. If you do decide to go in the sun, your skin will darken quickly to a deep brown. Any part of your body that is exposed to sunlight (face, arms, hands, etc.) will tan very quickly. Use a high SPF if you find that those areas do not match the rest of your body.

    [b]TYPE 4]
    If this is you, consider yourself lucky. This group rarely (if ever) burns in the sun and always tans to a deep, dark brown. They are not prone to peeling or freckling and can tan easily with minimal sun exposure.

    What to expect]Most customers with this skin type don’t need MT2 to get the perfect tan. Instead, they use it as a way to get tan without exposing themselves to harmful sunrays or using messy creams or lotions. People with this skin type will darken very quickly and will have a very short loading phase. You could see results in as early as a week, although it might take as long as two to three weeks. You won’t need to go in the sun to notice a change in your overall skin tone. Your skin will get darker on its own without exposure to sunlight or tanning beds.

    * A bit of advice]
    TYPE 5]This group includes people who are deeply pigmented and never burn. They are considered insensitive to sunlight. They don’t peel or freckle and are naturally dark with no sun exposure.

    What to expect]People in this group who are interested in using Melanotan II most likely have a skin condition like vitiligo. Although Melanotan was never developed as a treatment or cure for skin conditions, we do have customers who have had great results from using it. It’s certainly something worth considering and possibly trying after you do some research and talk to your doctor.

    How much MT2 is best for me?
    Because of factors like skin tone, body size and amount of sun exposure, there’s no single magic formula for MT2. We can give you some good starting points though]
    Females](Very fair skinned may need the 50 mg package.)
    Males](Again, very fair skinned may need the 50 mg package plus a 30 mg package.)
    If you plan on being in the sun quite a bit, keep in mind that you need less MT2.

    Sunless Tanning Peptide

    Melanotan II - Sunless Tanning Peptide
    Melanotan II is an analog of the peptide hormone alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (?-MSH) that induces skin tanning. In addition, Melanotan II has the additional effect of increasing female and male libido. It is currently being used around the world mainly as an effective sunless tanning solution. Melanotan II provides the protective benefit of a tan without the harm of sun exposure. In essence, it could protect people by providing them with a slight sunless tan that would make them less prone to burn with their day-to-day exposure to the sun.

    Melanotan II History and Development
    Melanotan II was developed by researchers at the University of Arizona College of Medicine. Melanotan II is an analog of the peptide hormone alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (?-MSH), this hormone provides a therapeutic tan with the ability to lower the risk of skin cancer, (MSH) also plays an important role in regulating sexual arousal in men and women. Melanotan II has the additional effect of decreasing body fat mass and is known to suppress the appetite. Melanotan II is a cyclic lactyam analog of alpha-MSH with the amino acid sequence Ac-Nle-cyclo[Asp-His-D-Phe-Arg-Trp-Lys]-NH2.

    Melanotan II is in a class of peptide hormones known as Melanocortins (MCs). Melanocortin agonist peptides are multifunctional protein hormones that regulate a diversity of physiological functions. MCs have been implicated in sexual function in mammals.

    In 1998 the University of Arizona improved the peptide even further and developed Melanotan II which was an even more effective sunless tanning agent. Both Melanotan I and II are synthetic hormones of melanocyte stimulating hormone that is responsible for darkening the pigment of your skin when exposed to sunlight. Melanotan I is a linear, full length peptide [containing all 13 amino-acids]. Melanotan II is a shortened, circular version of the same peptide.

    Melanotan Skin Tanning Process
    Melanotan is a synthetic hormone that mimics the action of MSH, or melanocyte-stimulating hormone which is responsible for darkening the pigments of the skin. Typically when your skin is exposed to UltaViolet radiation (the sun or tanning beds) your skin will release melanin as a natural defense to protect your skin from absorbing an excess amount of solar radiation. This natural defense to UV light is what leads to tanning or a darkening of your skin.

    Melanocyte stimulating hormone (?-MSH) causes melanogenesis, a process by which the skin's tanning cells (melanocytes) produce the skin's tanning pigment (melanin). With that knowledge it was tested to see if administering this hormone to the body directly could be an effective method to cause sunless tanning. What they found was that while it appeared to work, natural alpha-MSH had too short a half life in the body to be practical as a therapeutic drug. So they decided to try and find a more potent and stable alternative, one that would be more practical.

    After synthesizing and screening hundreds of molecules, the researchers headed by Dr. Victor Hruby, found a peptide that after trials and testing seemed to not only be safe but also approximately 1,000 times more potent than natural ?-MSH. They dubbed this new peptide Melanotan.

    The Arizona Cancer Center is working with Melanotan not only as a drug with cosmetic applications but in order to reduce the risk of skin cancer. They feel that if fair skinned people take Melanotan it will offer them the protective benefit of a tan without the harm of sun exposure. In essence, it could protect people by providing them with a slight sunless tan that would make them less prone to burn with their day-to-day exposure to the sun.

    Melanotan II Side Effects
    While testing the new peptide Melanotan II scientists found that it had an unexpected side effect]
    Melanotan II can enhance sexual function in human males (erectile activity) and females (increased levels of sexual desire and genital arousal). Unlike other sexual-enhancement drugs, Melanotan works at the level of the brain, thus eliciting a rather natural sexual response with minimal or no undesirable side effects. The actions of the peptide were discovered accidentally while studying the effects of the peptide and related analogs on human-skin pigmentation (tanning).

    The Arizona Cancer Center's research has found Melanotan I to be effective in promoting skin pigmentation with little or no risk, however it's role in actually preventing skin cancer has not yet been determined.

    Melantan II for Redheads, Albinos or Vitiligos
    Even with all this development on the Melanotan I and II peptides, there still remains many unanswered questions. For example, how effective are these peptides for redheads or people prone to freckles? It may be quite a few years before these peptides are FDA approved and once they are approved you will need to go to a cosmetic surgeon's office to get them administered. However, you don't have to wait. They currently have research grade Melanotan I and II available for all those research chemists out there (anyone) to test out on their lab-rats (themselves). They also found that Melanotan will not do anything for people with albinism or vitiligo because these patients do not have skin cells with receptors for melanin. For this reason, the synthetic hormone has no mechanism for action and therefore cannot cause change in pigment.

    This peptide has been going through extensive testing and research over the past ten years, however it is still not yet approved for use by the FDA. So far, it is effective only when administered by subcutaneous injection, not orally. Since Melanotan must be administered with insulin needles, it will never be FDA approved for over-the-counter use until an effective oral form is developed.

    FAQ Peptides

    I noticed on the stickers that your products are "for research only". Is it safe for human usage?

    This is a legal requirement as peptides are not FDA cleared for human use. However, they have been studied for many years in clinical human studies and no negative side effects have been documented.



    Where can I find out more about peptides?

    Google searching keywords like GHRP6 will yield many good results. One internet site we recommend is Datbtrue, an online forum based in the UK.



    Peptide Usage / Dosage / Storage


    Do you sell CJC-1295?

    CJC1295 without DAC is the same as modified Growth Release Factor 1-29.

    The best combo is GRF 1-29 plus GHRP-6 at 150mcg (.15mg) each up to three times a day at least 15 minutes before meals.



    I have purchased GHRP-6 and GRF 1-29. Is it best practice to administer separately or can they be put together? If together, what is the protocol for mixing?


    These two peptides can be held in the same syringe.

    Prepare each separately by adding 2ml of water to a vial of GHRP-6 2mg or GRF 1-29 2mg. Add 2.5ml to a vial of GHRP-6 5mg.

    Draw 150mcg from each bottle into the same syringe. Use 150mcg of each peptide at least 15 minutes before eating. This would be15 units or 0.15 ml from a 2mg vial (after mixing with 2ml injection water) or 0.075ml or 7.5 units from a 5mg vial (mixed with 2.5ml water).

    Take up to three times a day for best results. Last shot at night is just prior to sleep.

    Remember this causes a larger GH release and so you won't get steroid type muscles from peptides. This is slow and steady and very similar to HGH treatment except you are using your own body's systems to make it happen.



    I have just ordered some GHRP-6 and I am not sure how to take it. Do I use a normal needle used for injections? What is the recommended usage each day or week?

    GHRP-6 is administerd as a subcutaneous injection to either the area around the stomach or front of the thigh. You will use a 29 guage insulin syringe readily available at the pharmacy. Into the 5mg vial you will put 2.5 ml of injection water after flipping off the cap and stir by swirling. Then draw 7.5 units (.075 of a ml) into a fresh insulin needle and inject. You should administer before sleep and up to three times a day (morn lunch bed) for best results.



    I have been using your products with excellent results. I was a competitive bodybuilder in the UK and am interested in any helpful products you may be able to supply. I am over 40 and am interested in anything that will aid or boost Test and Hormone levels.

    The best bang for your buck is Ostarine, which acts as testosterone but without the side effects. Developed by GTX and Merek in the USA, this drug is in phase III trials for use in TRT. It is an oral liquid and doses at a rate of 1m (25mg) per day. One bottle lasts for a month.

    Coming up to any competitions you might want to use GW1516 which is a Glaxo Smith Klein discovery that increases endurance and strips adipose fat. It is a liquid and lasts a month at a dose of 1ml (5mg) per day.

    When building up, combine GHRP-6 with GRF 1-29. These cause a larger than normal release of your own growth hormone. At 40 years of age you need increased levels of growth hormone to maintain muscle and repair injury. It can be taken either once per day (maintenance) or three times per day (building), at a rate of 150mcg each by sub q injection with an insulin needle into the abdominal fat.



    Which product promotes weight loss?

    The best peptide for weight loss is Fragment 176-191. This is the part of the growth hormone protein that is responsible for fat metabolism and has been studied extensively.

    It has been shown to promote weight loss when combined with aerobic exercise of minimum 40 minutes a day.

    The effective dosage is 500mg twice a day, once in the morning and once before bed.



    Should I feel sick after injecting it? I have just taken the dose and within a few minutes I felt sick.

    First off, we assume you used sterile injection water to mix?

    If so we would suggest you are quite sensitive and a high responder, meaning that your response is higher than normal. In most ways this is a good thing.

    It is quite possible for your heart rate to increase and feel a rushing or hot sensation for a little while. That is normal for the first few days until your system gets used to it. What you are feeling is your pituitary releasing GH into your system and the cascade of chemical events.

    What you can do if you are quite sensitive is to halve the dose and work back up to a normal dose. You might want to do this over a week and just increase it a little day by day.

    NOTE – The customer later reported that they had inadvertently injected a double dose, hence the heightened response.



    Please tell me the dosage of PT-141 Bremelanotide, 10mg. In particular, can you please tell me –

    Correct dose and mixing
    How long does the peptide remain active in the vial after mixing with water
    First off, the Peptide Guide website may also help here.

    We suggest starting with 0.25mg and increasing from there. Too much can make you nauseous.

    Peptides remain active for three weeks once mixed, as long as it is refrigerated.


    I’m a bodybuilder interested in taking GHRP-6. I was told that your appetite increases. Is this true? I was also told it is anabolic and will help me pack on at least 20 pounds in 12 weeks? I took testosterone mid last year and had to stop because of high blood pressure. Does GHRP-6 have an effect on blood pressure?

    You are not alone in becoming hypertensive on testosterone. GHRP-6 is not anabolic in the same way. It causes a growth hormone release and should be paired with Growth Release Factor 1-29 at a rate of 150mcg each up to three times a day.

    However while it will help you gain clean mass, I doubt you would get 20 pounds in twelve weeks.

    GHRP-6 does cause hunger after administration in most but not all people.



    I have just recently purchased some PEG-Ec and, reading the description, I’m a little confused about whether it is administered to the muscle after it has been worked, or administered to the muscle the night before?

    You administer PEG-Ec after the muscle has been worked, perhaps later that night. So if you worked on pecs tonight, then dose the pecs before you go to sleep. The PEG will act as IGF-1, attach to the muscle receptors and go to work while you sleep. Repeat the procedure next workout. Perhaps dose the biceps next in a similar way.

    Therefore you can concentrate every couple of days on a different group or concentrate all week on one group as suits.



    Will these peptides work better on a test cycle or better on their own?

    There is no question that the peptides will work best on a test cycle or Ostarine/GW1516 cycle. There is no need to change the protocol for the peptides. When you have finished the test cycle, just keep going with the peptides as that will help you hold the gains and help keep the weight off.



    Ostarine / GW1516



    Is Osterine a liquid? Do I still have to inject it?

    It is a liquid taken orally. The dose is 25mg per day. One millilitre of Osterine (25mg per ml) measured in the oral syringe is usually sufficient to provide an adequate testosterone effect for building mass and strength. It may be used in place of testosterone replacement tharaphy. More information can be found here.



    Is GW1516 a liquid or powder? How much do I need?

    GW1516 is a liquid that is administered orally via an oral syringe dispenser that we provide. Dosage is 1ml per day placed under the tongue. The dose is 5mg per ml.



    How should I store my Ostarine and GW1516?

    Ostarine and GW1516 may be stored at room temperature and the shelf life is one year. As a matter of practice we would recommend storing in the fridge.



    Can Ostarine and GW1516 be stacked together? If so, what sort of results could I expect?

    Yes indeed, you can stack them. Just take about half an hour apart in the morning or at least two hours before the main workout of the day.

    Ostarine will increase energy and muscle mass. GW1516 will increase strength, stamina and provide fat loss. The combination is a very good one but please note that you need to exercise daily to get the maximum effects.



    Is Ostarine more effective than Testosterone? What about side effects?

    Ostarine is a sustitute for testosterone but with no side effects (like hair loss and estrogen build up).
