Should melanotan 2 be cycled?
Studies in people do not establish an on and off schedule for melanotan 2. The small studies in people that exist, three men for two weeks and a ten-man study where each man tried both the drug and a dummy, did not compare a cycle to steady use. The 'loading then maintenance' calendars passed around online are unverified as a cycling rule. This site does not invent a schedule. Full detail at /cycling.
