What the video says
Greg Doucette, a fitness coach, made this video after viewers asked why his girlfriend Ali does not simply use melanotan 2, given how often she gets sunburned. He opens by saying he is not a doctor, is not telling anyone to use it or avoid it, and that legality depends on the country. He describes it as a peptide similar to melanin and stresses that it is not melatonin and does not cause sleepiness.
The middle section is a walkthrough of how he says it is used. The powder is mixed with bacteriostatic water, he gives a 10 milligram vial mixed with 2 millilitres as his example, and it is injected under the skin with an insulin syringe. He recommends starting at 5 units at night, adding a unit a day up to 5 to 10 units, then spacing doses out over the following weeks to a roughly weekly maintenance dose. He says UV exposure is still needed, so a person could use a much shorter tanning session than usual. He also says a mixed vial should be kept in the fridge.
Greg lists the benefits as he sees them: less sun exposure for the same tan, a tan that lasts longer through the year, and in some men stronger erections, though he says he did not notice that himself. Ali then describes her own experience with severe nausea, shakiness, a flu-like feeling that lasted a long time, and missed sex. Greg says he disliked it too. They also discuss the look of the tan: he says freckles darken first and it looked less natural than a real tan, while Ali likes the result. He briefly mentions appetite suppression.
Greg rates it 5 out of 10 and says it depends on the person. He says smaller, more frequent injections may reduce the nausea, and that needle aversion is the main deterrent. Everything in the video is personal anecdote and opinion from a non-clinician.

What this video doesn’t settle
- It rests on two people's personal experience, with no control group or clinical data.
- Greg's claim that using it lowers skin cancer risk by reducing sun exposure is his own reasoning and is not backed by any evidence shown.
- The dosing math in the transcript is partly garbled, so the exact units and microgram figures stated may not be reliable.
Questions this video answers
How does Greg Doucette say to dose melanotan 2?
Greg says to start with 5 units at night and add a unit a day up to 5 to 10 units for the first week. He then spaces injections out to a roughly weekly maintenance dose. He frames this as his own approach and says he is not a doctor.
What side effects of melanotan 2 does Ali describe?
Ali says she became very nauseous, shaky, and felt as if she had the flu, and it lasted a long time. She says she missed out on sex because of it. Greg says he also disliked it when he used it.
Does melanotan 2 work without sun exposure, according to this video?
Greg says no. He says UV exposure is still needed to bring the tan out, though he claims much shorter sessions are enough, such as 2 or 3 minutes instead of 10.
Is melanotan the same as melatonin?
Greg says they are not the same. He says melanotan is similar to melanin, the pigment in skin, and does not make you sleepy.
