This came from Gemini but is what my rat followed before. Just watch for changes in any moles when using it. The administration of MT-1 is broken into two distinct phases: a gradual loading phase to build systemic melanin levels and a less frequent maintenance phase to sustain the pigment. Phase 1: Acclimation & Loading (Weeks 1–3) Because individual sensitivity varies, establishing tolerance is critical to mitigate transient facial flushing or mild nausea. Days 1–3 (Acclimation): 250\text{ mcg} to 500\text{ mcg} injected subcutaneously once daily, preferably before bed. Days 4–21 (Loading): 1\text{ mg} to 1.5\text{ mg} injected once daily. UV Activation: MT-1 increases melanin synthesis, but minimal, controlled UV exposure (e.g., 5–10 minutes of natural sunlight 2–3 times a week) is required to fully activate the newly produced pigment. Phase 2: Maintenance (Week 4+) Once the desired pigmentation level is achieved, daily dosing is no longer necessary. Maintenance Dose: 1\text{ mg} to 2\text{ mg} administered 2 to 3 times per week. Many users timing this injection 1 to 2 hours prior to planned, safe sun exposure to maximize the synergistic tanning effect.
