How to Mix Melanotan 2
Reconstitution Guide: BAC Water Ratio, Test Dose & Unit Chart
Always consult a healthcare professional before starting any injection protocol.
Why Reconstitution Matters
Melanotan 2 is supplied as a freeze-dried powder and must be reconstituted with bacteriostatic water (BAC water) before injecting. Because MT-2 is dosed in micrograms, precision matters even more than with other compounds — a 0.3ml syringe is strongly recommended for accuracy.
📊 Reconstitution Ratio
| Vial Size | BAC Water Added | Final Concentration |
|---|---|---|
| 10mg vial | 1.0ml | 1mg/10 units (100mcg per unit) |
🧪 Step-by-Step Mixing Instructions
Wash your hands
Wash thoroughly with soap and water for at least 20 seconds and dry with a clean towel.
Swab both vial tops
Clean the rubber stopper on your MT-2 vial and your BAC water vial with a fresh alcohol swab each. Let air-dry for 10 seconds.
Draw 1.0ml of BAC water
Using a syringe, draw exactly 1.0ml of bacteriostatic water from its vial.
Inject slowly down the vial wall
Angle the needle so the water runs down the inside of the glass onto the powder — do not squirt it directly onto the powder.
Check the solution is clear
It should be clear and colourless with no particles. Discard if cloudy or discoloured.
Label and store away from light
Write the mixing date on the vial. MT-2 is light-sensitive — store in the fridge at 2–8°C, away from direct light, and use within 28 days.

| Loading (Low) | 250mcg | 2.5 Units | 0.025ml |
| Loading (Standard) | 500mcg | 5 Units | 0.05ml |
| Maintenance | 250mcg | 2.5 Units | 0.025ml |
Melanotan 2 Mixing FAQs
How much BAC water do I add to a Melanotan 2 vial?
Add 1.0ml of bacteriostatic water to a 10mg vial. This gives you 10 units = 1mg, or 100mcg per unit on a U-100 syringe.
What syringe should I use for Melanotan 2?
Because MT-2 doses are so small (100–500mcg), a 0.3ml U-100 insulin syringe is recommended for the most accurate measurement.
Why do I need a test dose?
A 100mcg test dose lets you check your sensitivity to MT-2 before committing to a full loading protocol — some people experience strong flushing, nausea or facial redness on the first dose.
How should I store mixed Melanotan 2?
MT-2 is light-sensitive. Store the mixed vial in the fridge at 2–8°C, away from direct light, and use within 28 days.
