Healthline has strict sourcing guidelines and relies on peer-reviewed studies, academic research institutions, and medical associations. We avoid using tertiary references. You can learn more about how we ensure our content is accurate and current by reading our editorial policy. Breindahl T, et al. (2014). Identification and characterization by LC-UV-MS/MS of melanotan II skin-tanning products sold illegally on the internet. DOI: Buying unapproved products online is extremely dangerous, because quality and safety simply cannot be guaranteed. CoQ10 – known anti-aging benefits reduces the appearance of wrinkles improves skin firmness, smoothness and flexibility while stimulating healthy collagen production.

More research needs to be done before scientists can confirm whether melanotan increases your risk of developing skin cancer. Still, this remains one of the biggest concerns around the use of tanning injections. In the 1980s, one of the researchers involved in the development of melanotan II self-described himself as a “human guinea pig” when he injected himself with it. After accidentally injecting double the intended dose, he experienced an 8-hour erection, nausea, and vomiting. There is no knowing what ingredients are present in these products, and they could include substances that are harmful to your health. According to a 2017 review , there are at least four case reports of melanoma emerging from moles after the use of melanotan. There’s also some evidence that melanotan use is linked to the emergence of new moles. Melanotan use has been linked to the following conditions. More research is needed, though, before researchers can definitively say that melanotan causes these conditions. Erectile dysfunction

Help the TGA to do its job: report illegal advertising

A 2019 case study describes a man who experienced acute priapism after injecting himself with melanotan. Priapism is a prolonged and painful erection caused by excessive blood flow. The man was admitted to the hospital but didn’t require surgery. At a 4-week follow-up, he still hadn’t recovered erectile function. Skin cancer Melanotan, along with a range of other products that are marketed as image-enhancing, like peptides and synthetic human growth hormones, are increasing in popularity. Young people are particularly vulnerable to the marketing of these products as they seek 'miracle' solutions to body and performance pressures. No tan, fake or real, will protect skin against damage from sun exposure. Use of Melanotan to increase skin pigmentation artificially, will not protect against UV exposure the way a suitable sunscreen will.

What’s more, this tanning and beauty drink also has as much Vitamin E as, 12 carrots, 2 mangoes or 2 servings of broccoli Habbema L, et al. (2017). Risks of unregulated use of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone analogues: A review. DOI:Calling all chocolate lovers — we’re spreading the ultimate chocolatey joy with our totally irresistible Protein Spreads. The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) urges consumers to steer clear of using products containing 'Melanotan' without advice from a medical professional. Melanotan is a prescription only medicine and regulated as a therapeutic product. Misuse has proven, serious side effects that can be very damaging to your health. If you have recently used unapproved Melanotan you should stop until you have consulted a medical professional. We have a system that relies, in part, on members of the public reporting misleading and illegal advertising to us so we can investigate. We encourage people to report suspected non-compliant advertising they see relating to Melanotan and other unapproved products. Beta Carotene and Aloe Vera help to optimise your tan. What’s more, CoQ10 reduces fine lines and wrinkles whilst vitamins C and E help firm and tighten skin for a youthful appearance. The TGA will take action in relation to illegal advertising of these products, including online advertising on social media platforms.

The TGA counterpart in the United Kingdom also listed acne, kidney, brain and heart problems as reported side-effects. Tanning injections come in two forms: melanotan I and melanotan II. Both types of injections work by replicating alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone in your body. This hormone binds to melanocortin receptors and stimulates the production of the pigment melanin in your skin cells. The more melanin your skin cells produce, the darker your skin appears.

Warning to businesses supplying Melanotan

Tan Shot Xtra also contains as much Vitamin A & Beta Carotene as 2 servings of fortified cereal, 1 litre of whole milk or 2 large boiled eggs. Vitamin A also ensures a smooth, supple complexion. TanShot Xtra is the new and improved formula of the bestselling vitamin drink TanShot, which improves your tan and skin condition from the inside out. TanShot Xtra contains twice as many active ingredients as its predecessor, instantly improving tanning results both in the tanning salon and when outdoors. Use TanShot Xtra in combination with a professional tanning lotion for maximum tanning results. Melanotan-I and (especially) Melanotan-II are typically promoted as tanning products and may be in the form of pills, creams, injectable and nasal or misting sprays. Regardless of the how the product enters the body, the associated risks remain, and are not new. In 2019 A Current Affair featured a report on this issue, which also highlighted the dangers. Melanotan-II is not included on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG) and it has not been assessed for quality, safety or efficacy by the TGA. Its development as a potential medicine was halted some years ago due to safety reasons.

Melanotan-I (afamelanotide) is approved as a prescription medicine to support the management of a rare incurable genetic disease, erythropoietic protoporphyria, but because of its side effects and highly specialised use, it should only prescribed and used under close medical supervision. Strict penalties including heavy fines and criminal prosecution can result from contravening the Therapeutic Goods Act and Advertising Code, such as advertising prescription substances directly to the public. The TGA has published guidance on advertising therapeutic goods on social media. Guy GP Jr., et al. (2015). Recent changes in the prevalence of and factors associated with frequency of indoor tanning among US adults. DOI: TanShot Xtra is the new and improved formula of our bestselling vitamin drink, TanShot. This works to improve your tan and skin condition from the inside out. Tan Shot Xtra contains twice as many active ingredients as its predecessor. What’s more, this increase instantly improves tanning results both in the tanning salon and when outdoors.

The TGA has previously warned consumers against the use of Melanotan-I and Melanotan-II for tanning and weight loss. In one observational survey, researchers questioned 21 volunteers who had used melanotan in the past, were actively using it at the time of the survey, or were considering using it in the future. The researchers found that the most common side effects were:
