If you were to tell me ten years ago there was a hormone that you could take which would make you tanned, thin and horny; I'd think you were talking nonsense. These days people call this hormone melanotan. Melanotan is a research peptide created to provide another level of protection from the harmful UV rays of the sun. But with its amazing ability to give such a dark tan very quickly, its use has gone from protection to cosmetic. Once it was made available for purchase to anyone over the internet, its use sky rocketed. It has also had extensive media coverage as it is a fairly new creation with unknown long term effects. But so far its short term use has been seen to be quite safe with only few minimal side effects.
When melanotan was first released for sale on the internet it came with a catch. The bioavailability of the peptide hormone is too low and ineffective when taken orally or transdermally. The only way it was administered was via a subcutaneous injection. Meaning you would have to give yourself an injection. This probably wouldn't have appealed to many, though its use still grew over the years.
Now we have a more user friendly way of taking melanotan. It was discovered that through nasal delivery via a nasal spray melanotan was still quite effective. In fact a lot of different peptides can be taken this way. There are a few downsides to this method however. Your mucous membrane does not absorb peptides with high affinity. Meaning a much higher dose needs to be taken when delivering the peptide with the nasal spray. Not only that, some of the spray can go straight down your throat and be destroyed. Another negative factor with the nasal spray, is the hormone stays active in your system for only a few hours, meaning more frequent doses have to be taken during the day. Up to 2-3 times a day you have to take a dose, whereas only one dose a day needs to be taken if administered via an injection. For some this isn't an issue as inhaling a nasal spray is far easier and user friendly than having to give yourself a shot.
So we now have a new method to take melanotan, a nasal delivery system which works. It just comes down to personal choice whether you want to buy more of the product to achieve the same effect whilst dosing more frequently or having to give yourself an injection?
