melano tan1 dosing for sun protection and skin health – beginner question

Posted by aisha347 in Longevity & Anti-Aging - 1 points, 0 comments.

i have started looking into melano tan1 (afamelanotide) because i read it can help with UV protection without heavy sun exposure. 5‑1 mg per injection, but i am not sure if that should be daily or just a loading phase then maintenance. i am 39, I used to burn easily in the sun and now iíbles with a light tan that fades after a week.

8 mg injection a month last year and noticed less sunburn, but my moles seemed darker. i also read there could be nausea and facial flushing from the injection. what is the best way to start, especially if i want to combine it with a low‑dose rapamycin schedule?

any tips on injection sites or minimizing mouth tingling? i appreciate any personal experience or practical advice from those who have used it regularly. no?

right? thanks!
