Hi,
I have 2mg of mt2 in the fridge that is about 6 months old how degraded is it? and can I use it to kick start a new melanotan 2 cycle or shouldi just start a new vial?

Mt-2 may remain intact for 4-6 months in the fridge, so it may be a bit degraded. Honestly, you might want to start a new vial, unless you want to risk it being too degraded ( that I can not evaluate ).

Reconstituted Melanotan 2 stored at 2-8C will have undergone next to no degradation at the 24 month point.
If you started with a 98-99.5% pure peptide, you'd be looking at about 94-96% range.
At the 48 month point it's about 80% - exponential degradation starts whacking away at it around the 40-42 month point, and after about 50-52 months you're reaching seriously bad quality.
6 month old melanotan, depending on your source, will still be fine (unless you got it from China or a dodgy reseller where quality isn't there to begin with, or wasn't stored properly).
However, that says nothing for bacterial contamination!
If you reconstituted with bacteriostatic water, used alcohol wipes and new needles each time you're good to go.
If you used any of the following, bin it; sodium chloride, no alcohol wipes or reused needles - the bacteria will be at dangerous levels.
