FIGURING OUT DOSAGE
First, the non-metric version:
A = total mg of melanotan II in vial
B = your weight in lbs
C = (0.0025 * B) = mg per injection
D = A / C = total injections
E = D * 0.3-0.5 = amount of diluant to add to vial
For metric users, apply the kg to lbs conversion ...
B = 2.205 * your weight in kg
Once you know the number of "total injections" that can be obtained from the given amount of peptide in the vial ... you will then be able to fill the vial with diluant based on that number. You do that by multiplying the total injections by the amount of diluant you wish to use per injection. My preference is anywhere from 0.3cc to 0.5cc or 30-50 mark on your syringe.
Here's an example ...
A = 10mg in vial
B = 200 lbs
C = 0.0025 * 200 = 0.5mg per injection
D = 10mg / 0.5mg = 20 injections
E = 20 * 0.3cc = 6cc diluant
Therefore, 6cc of diluant must be added to the vial containing 10mg of peptide. One should then draw up 0.3cc (or to the 30 mark of the syringe) per each injection ... totaling 20 injections at the recommended concentration of peptide.
If one becomes adjusted to this concentration AND does not experience side-effects AND wishes to increase the consumption rate, I would recommend doing 2-3 injects per day spaced out over even intervals of time. The less preferable route would be to draw up more solution into the syringe per injection, but you would do this at an increased risk for side-effects. It has been proven in dosage trials by Clinuvel that using less peptide delivered in a slow-release fashion is significantly more effective at increasing melanin than if delivered in greater amounts all at once.
For most first-time Type-I/II users, you will likely need to get through at least 30-40mg. As you can see from the formula, this may take some time to complete. You may wish to up the concentration by drawing up more solution per inject, but only if you experience no sides. Once you have completed your first cycle you will be on maintanence dosing. At that point, the above formula should be the way to go. I'd say 10mg per 4-6 weeks for maintenance.
