Well after looking on u-tube might get some for hubby and inject him while he is asleep lol and get some for my diet lol (Only Kidding)
Good luck if u use it let us know how u get on.

I don't understand how you have been able to train to do this when its not even legal!!
There must be a reason why this is illegal!
I think you should read this artical before anyone decides to have one or provide this illegal treatment!

Health alert over sunbed worshippers who are now injecting themselves with illegal tanning drug

Sun-lovers starved of the real thing are putting their health at risk by injecting themselves with an illegal tanning drug.
The medicines watchdog has warned against using Melanotan as lack of research meant not enough was known about possible side-effects.
The drug can cost up to £250 but has never been licensed for use in Britain or any other country.

The MHRA is warning sun seekers to avoid an unlicensed product called Melanotan, designed to increase the body's levels of melanin
It works by tricking the skin with a man-made version of the hormone which triggers melanin, the dark pigment needed for a tan.
Melanotan can also boost libido and cut appetite, leading to it being nicknamed the 'Barbie drug' or 'paradise pill'.
There were predictions it would become more popular than Viagra. However, Melanotan never passed the necessary safety checks and trials.
There was also no firm proof that it worked.
But this has not stopped it being sold illegally over the internet and by gyms and beauty salons.
Users inject themselves daily until their skin has reached their desired colour (file picture)

Issuing its warning, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency said that not enough was known about the drug, sold under the names Melanotan I and Melanotan II.
In addition, people injecting themselves run the risk of contracting HIV or other viruses from dirty needles.
David Carter, head of the MHRA unit for 'borderline' drugs, said: 'We are warning people not to use this product.
'Don't be fooled into thinking Melanotan offers a shortcut to a safer and more even tan.
'The safety of these products is unknown and they are unlicensed in the UK. The side-effects could be extremely serious.
'If you have used either of those products, do not use them again. If you have concerns, you should seek advice from your doctor.'
The watchdog is particularly concerned that users see the drug as an alternative to sunbeds.
It is feared that warnings about skin cancer have misled sun-lovers into thinking the injections are a safer way to tan.
MHRA spokesman Florence Palmer said: 'The problem is that we have no idea what the side-effects could be, either short-term or long-term.
'It may give you a nice tan at the moment but we don't know what kind of long-term effects it could have.
'It is better for us to warn people before we end up with serious hospital cases.'
Although it is not illegal to buy the drug, it is illegal to sell it.
The MHRA has issued warnings to 18 British-based websites selling the drug. Any which carry on marketing it could face prosecution.
Melanotan is sold as a powder, which should be dissolved in sterile water, or ready mixed.
Users inject themselves daily until their skin has reached their desired colour. After this, weekly boosters keep the tan topped up.
A BBC investigation found growing numbers of people are visiting needle exchanges to get clean needles to inject the drug.
A sister drug is being developed in Australia to treat skin problems.


'It makes me feel good'

No plans to stop: Beautician Stacey Boardman injected herself with Melanotan once a day for ten days and says she thinks its safer than sunbeds


Beautician Stacey Boardman injects herself with Melanotan to give her skin a healthy glow.
The 27-year-old, who trained as a nurse, believes it to be safer than sunbeds and quicker than fake tan.
The mother-of-one first bought it over the internet three months ago. After injecting herself in the stomach once a day for ten days, she now does it once a week.
'I think it's safer than a sunbed,' she said. 'It actually prevents ageing.

'The best protection against skin cancer is a natural tan.
'It's hard to find time to fit in getting a spray tan. I feel better about myself when I have a nice glow.'
Despite the MHRA's warning, Miss Boardman, the owner of a beauty parlour in Rochdale, Lancashire, has no plans to stop.

She said her own internet research had failed to find any problems and she feels 'fit and healthy'.
'Now I have seen the difference it makes, I'll carry on using it unless I hear something different,' she added.
Early studies carried out on Melanotan led to its chemical formula being published, allowing copycat batches to be produced, most likely in China.
Trials in the U.S. were halted amid concerns the drug was causing dangerous rises in blood pressure.
Some users also complained of nausea and flushing while others noticed new moles or freckles or that existing ones got darker.
Lack of testing meant it was never licensed in any country.

Anyone injecting themselves with anything like this must be bloody nuts.
I am 4ft 11 and when i was a child i was very small for my age and doctors wanted to give me growth hormone injections which are now found to have caused deaths and cases of cjd in people around my age its taken 30, 40years for this to show .Fortunately my mum wasn't having any of it.
My friend narrowly escaped being a thalidomide baby when his pregnant mum refused to take the drug.
Do not put things into your body that haven't been fully researched and proved safe.If it were a case of life,death or extreme health problems then thats a different scenario sometimes you have to take a risk but for a tan ...good grief.

I think its disgusting people are doing this. How can people inject themselves with things they cant possibly know what it will do to them or what it contains??
Even people who need to inject themselves daily do not like doing it (diabetics etc) so how the hell can anyone do it for vanity?!?!?! PURE MADNESS

The trouble is that misinformation from some suppliers is lulling unsuspecting customers here in the UK into purchasing even though it is illegal to either promote or resell these in the UK.....

Unfortunatley this misinformation is being backed up by an astonishing amount of scientific waffle all of which is completely meaningless as the facts are that until licenced by the authorities you cant sell them...and thank goodness for that

surely the drug centres wouldnt just give out needles though would they?

Makes me really cross.One for people being so stupid as to buy something they know nothing about, but then its usually young people who think they are invincible and two for the people making the money how dare they sell something that hasnt been approved yet and put peoples health in danger.
People just dont seem to care as long as they are lining their own pockets ...and it happens so much in the beauty world ..shame on them.

Couldnt agree more

hi all. iv used the jabs before, they r amazing. I did mine every day for 8 days(1 bottle) then once a week for 8 weeks after. The outcome was tremendous. Im not currently using them as my tan is still here after 2 months so no need yet. Its a hormone you inject into urself with a little insulin needle(cant even feel it) and it brings out your skins melanin. As ur skins protection is ur melanin, when its greatly increased it protects ur skin against cancer from uv rays (an internal sunscreen if you like!) You wont go a funny colour..or orange. Well..inless your nastural tone is an orangy type. Wether ur deep golden orange whatever, you will only go the colour your skin goes naturally in the sun...just deeper and faster. Its brilliant, i now only go on the sunbed once a week to keep myself topped up. Now nomore smelly fake bake either Bonus x

All I know about these is that they haven't even been tested and as such, are not classed as safe. That for me is reason enough not to even bother.

Claire x

as above i would never use something untested and also would never inject myself, it could cause damage to ur veins or anything. the only people who should administer injections are doctors / nurses.
drug addicts inject heroin cos it makes them feel good, its still illegal and people dont agree with it
beauty addicts are injecting an unknown substance cos it makes them tan, this is also illegal and a lot of professionals as there are on here will not agree with this fad

there are much safer ways to get a tan than inject this stuff into your body. until it is certified safe and legal people should not be using this

Hi All,
It doesn't seem that long ago that everyone was against Botox injections..yes I know they have to be given by a doctor. Flab Jab injections were on the Hot list a couple of years ago, they were taken off because they were not yet licensed.......soon as they are I will have Flab Jabs. The tanning well I'd like to know a bit more, but could not say that I wouln't have a go........Maybe it is wrong.......maybe not, up to the individual to choose. So I am off to google it and see what other info I can gather. I may go for it when I have found out more.
Lotsa luv x

melanotan is legal in the USA and Australia and loads of other countries.
as they have an increased risk of skin cancer due to the hole in the o-zone layer(australia im on about) or at least thats what i read. ive been on them 3 months and they are great even though i know im being foolish and toying with my health potentially. the needle is only a tiny one that a diabetic would use to inject insulin. its stigmatised cause its people un-neccesarily injecting things into them they dont need. just like steroids
