Pro Tan EZ-Tan pills
Anyone ever try these? It seems like they are not too well known or talked about on this site from a search.
It seems like an interesting concept, the pills contain all the ingrediants that are known to increase melanin production and tinting your skin darker. Plus all of the ingrediants are natural, it's like eating all the right vitamins/amino acids to achieve a darker tint.
So have these worked for anyone?

1. you are already tan
2. the 'tan' is fake, providing no protection from the sun
3. it turns you ORANGE, like a carrot. the active ingredient is beta-carotene. you will not like the results. people will think you're dying of skin cancer

I tried it. I was not impressed, not only was my tan uneven but it gave me freckles on my arms that I couldn't get rid of for months. BTW the freckles weren't the cute kind, I looked like a dalmation for 3 months.

I'm really not tan, I have a hint of a natural tan but it isn't nearly what I'd like it to be. I don't care about getting protection from the sun, because if I would be going out in the sun that much I'd have a tan anyway.
About the orange look, I was wondering how that would actually look on me. Some people with a lighter skin tone won't look right with an orange tint, but I think if you are darker maybe it doesn't look as bad. At least the pills don't fully rely on Canthaxanthin though, so I was hoping it wouldn't be too orange of a look.

Well Melatonin is what your body produces to put you to sleep, Melanin is what turns your skin darker.

Hmm that sucks, the reason I don't like tanning gel is from the uneven tan...was hoping the pills would provide an even tan.
Anymore experiences?

You mean MELANOTAN.
Google it or do a forum search. Melanotan will turn most people way darker then they would ever want to be in a months time. It's an injectable drug that increases melanin production without exposure to the sun.

Yep that's the stuff. Just read it wrong all those times I guess, lol.
Pics of Speedjunkie, and Titania didn;t look too dark. Looked pretty decent imo.

I'm looking into melatonan now and might try it out in the near future. Here's the low down on tanning pills:

x2 I hear after injecting with melanotan II you get a ragin boner for about an hour. Thats why most males take it at night.

Most tanning pills will turn you orange. Tanning lotion and spray is your best bet
