Educational synthesis of three independent practitioners. Dosing references are research-context only.

Cautions

  • Nausea on dose escalation: Hunter (00:38:27.520 ctx): "if Build it up cuz it will make you nauseous," Hunter email (2025-04-09): "If nausea hits within 10-15 min after injection → eat a little food, should subside."
  • Mole/freckle darkening risk (especially with MT-2 cross-confusion): Hunter (01:53:58.280): "you can get it with Melanotan I one the darkening, but I do think you get the darker moles more dominant with two versus one." Hunter email (2025-04-09): "Darkens freckles, moles, lips" listed under MT-2; MT-1 column reads "No exaggerated freckle/mole pigmentation."
  • Photoprotection is NOT sunscreen replacement: Hunter email (2025-12-11) frames MT-1 as raising "Minimal Erythema Dose (MED) — skin handles more UV without burning," not as a sunblock substitute.
  • Dose ceiling/escalation: Hunter email (2025-06-22): "Start with 250mcg (that's 5 units) per day... Some people go up to 500mcg per day (10 units), but I suggest starting lower and seeing how you respond."
  • MC4-receptor neurochemistry tradeoff: Taylor (00:08:00.319 ctx): "melanotin 1 actually crosses blood brain barrier which binds to your MC4 receptor" and Hunter email (2025-04-09) lists for MT-2 "Spontaneous prolonged erections (men)" and notes MT-1 as "No sexual side effects" — practitioner should screen for melanocortin-sensitive comorbidities.
  • Spiritual/cognitive hedge — Taylor (00:07:36.560): "melanotan 1 has a really it's just a really great peptide to really reconnect yourself because of what it connects with the penal gland and how it really does like help with the brain waves with that" — anecdotal claim, not clinical.
  • Variable response: Taylor (00:09:54.720): "that's where peptides are fun and everybody's going to respond to it different so you have to figure out and be your own guinea pig."
  • Cancer/melanoma stance: Hunter email (2025-04-09): "NO evidence of increased melanoma risk" with the hedge "Theoretical melanoma risk + atypical mole reports" applied to MT-2, not MT-1.
  • Trevor Bachmeyer has no surfaced MT-1 content in the corpus — caveats here are Hunter + Taylor only.
