With all of the concerns associated with tanning and the sun today Melanotan is considered to be a safe alternative in the UK. While it has not been FDA approved in the US, the UK can still benefit from this unique tanning experience. Even though many people have heard of Melanotan, not many know what it is or how it’s being made. Since understanding is half of the battle here are a few of the things you may want or need to know about the new tanning method that has been labeled the “Barbie drug.”
Melanotan is made in a safe laboratory using 1000mg (1 gram) of the product. It is synthesized to its purest form so that it looks like pure crystals when the process is done. Melanotan actually first became popular around five years ago. At that time they weighed everything out individually into vials but customers soon started complaining that their vials were half empty. That is when the freeze drying process started. The process involves dissolving 1000mg of Melanotan II crystals into 200ml of sterile water. Then 2ml of sterile water is injected into 100 vials. This makes each vial 10mg. The vials are then put into freeze dry machines for 24 to 48 hours. This gives you the fluffy appearance that the crystals have when you get the vial of Melanotan II. The vials are then taken to a completely sterile room to be sealed under what is called the GMP or Good Manufacturing practice.
