Melanotan makes you slim, tanned and sexier- but there are downsides to becoming a Barbie doll
Barbie has never been considered the best role model for little girsl. Maybe it’s her uber perfect body, her unbelievable proportions or her vaguely anti feminist ethos, but anyone who buys a Barbie for their child tends to feel slightly guilty. But there’s no denying she’s popular- with little girls and adults alike. When you grow up wanting to ape her proportions and then discover she’s set you on a path to unrealistic achievements you tend to resent her, but some women take the next step to emulating her, and it can be a dangerous one.
I’m talking about the latest drug on the market that promises you Barbie like assets with minimum effort- Melanotan.
This is a drug that you need to INJECT daily into your abdomen, and involves a variety of needles, sterilizing wipes and saline solution. Eww. So why would this be tempting? Well the effects of the drug are REDUCED APPETITE, INCREASED LIBIDO and TANNING OF THE SKIN. Hmm. You begin to see the allure. Let me repeat though- DAILY INJECTIONS you administer yourself. Ok, let reality sink in now. But this dangerous drug is easily available online from numerous sources! Despite repeated warning from a variety off officials Melotonan continues to be readily available- and a simple Google search will bring up loads of companies clamouring to sell it to you- despite the fact that it’s illegal.
I can understand why there is such demand, after all the same hysteria surrounded the weigh loss drug Alli (new to the UK, but out in the USA for ages) despite the side effects that occur with such a treatment.
So what is Melanotan? Well the idea behind the drug is that it stimulates melatonin production in the skin- the pigment that gives you that tanned look when you’ve had sun exposure. Through using the drug you’ll avoid the cancerous rays and get a ‘healthy’ glow, though you may risk looking like a tanorexic. The increased libido and weight loss are side effects which has caused the drug to be nicknamed the Barbie drug, and many people say how much this has changed their lives.
What they don’t mention on the sites selling it is the possibility of dizziness, heart tremors (read heart ATTACK) or palpitations.
We know that many women risk their health to look good, but this seems a step to far, fair enough if it were legal and regulated, but seeing as there are no bodies governing this,you could be injecting yourself with poison, and then there are side effects and issues with injecting incorrectly. To use the drug you need to mix it with Bacteriostatic water and then inject into the skin- making sure you’ve mixed it correctly, got the dose right and found the right spot to inject- something you’re probably not au fait with.
Read some scary ass FAQ’s here on a ‘reputable site’. Dont’cha love how the side effects are dismissed so easily??
‘ARE THERE ANY POTENTIAL SIDE EFFECTS TO USING MT2?
Sure. As with any drug, there are some possible short-term side effects you should know about, including: nausea, appetite loss, facial flushing (only after the first injection) and increased libido. These may be noticeable during the first few days of treatment but should taper off after about a week. Also, it always helps to take your MT2 after a good-sized meal.’
Very conclusive wouldn’t you say? Even the Daily Mail decries it- for once on the right end of the stick! I understand the pressure that exists to look a certain way, but whilst diet and exercise are one thing, injections take obsessions a to a whole new unhealthy level and should be seriously discouraged- and government bodies need to act to stamp out the sellers of this drug.
But perhaps we ourselves are to blame- for every guilty purchase we make of a Barbie doll we set up a future generation of women with irreconcilable body issues and unrealistic expectations, and as long as we idolise the 22,32,22 proportions we”ll continue to strive towards an unobtainable figure, with possibly deadly results.
Thanks for this. I’ve been looking into this drug, though I know it’s bad for you, but didn’t realize quite how regularly you had to inject- or that the sites aren’t legally allowed to sell you the stuff.
Cheers for an informative article.
Now i maintain melanotan i have heavy flu symptoms and achie legs blocked nose and feel sick.
When i use the sun bed i now itch so much for days after. But it works, tried to get answers from the people who sell it i get no reply. Dont want to stop.
Three in one? Well, many are justifying and proven that melanotan can not only giving you a perfect tan color but it has bonus effect that can give you a sexier body and…adding some excitement in your private life(sex life)… What a powerful drug!… I’m sure after using melanotan you will became and achieves alike body of Barbie doll, but don’t expect to be perfect that much cause you might experience health breakdown…
All drugs have their side effects. Either long or short term, good or bad. Just be more intelligent enough in using products like this. Yes it has good effects in the body but be more intelligent enough in using.
Some says it is dangerous to use melanotan others says it is ok. The bottom line is who among are them telling the truth.? I would suggest that try it for yourself and see for the result. by the way a three in one product is really amazing.
thank you for this article, but i think that there’s nothing wrong with melanotan, it has been approved to use by the FDA
