Melanotan I Protocol: How to Cycle It, Timing & What to Expect
A Melanotan I protocol typically runs eight weeks, split into a four-week loading phase and a four-week maintenance phase, followed by an eight-week off-cycle break. Think of it like priming a surface before painting: the loading phase lays down the melanin foundation, and maintenance holds it in place. During loading, injections go twice weekly paired with UV exposure to build melanin density; maintenance continues at the same or reduced frequency to sustain the color achieved. MT-1 amplifies the skin's UV response rather than darkening skin independently, so UV pairing on injection days is not optional. The dose shifts based on skin tone goal, individual sensitivity, and whether you are building or maintaining, and the personalized number is built in the MyPeptidePal Protocol Creator.
