MT-2

A synthetic melanocortin analogue studied in connection with skin pigmentation.

Research Use Only — Not for Human Consumption

Short Description

Melanotan II (MT-2) is a synthetic peptide related to alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone, studied for its effects on skin pigmentation (tanning) and, like its relative bremelanotide, on sexual arousal pathways.

Current Legal Status (Mauritius)

Melanotan II is not approved by the FDA or any equivalent regulator for any use. Health authorities in several countries, including the FDA and UK regulators, have issued specific consumer warnings about injectable "tanning" products containing Melanotan II, citing safety concerns rather than simply a lack of approval.

Tiger Blood Pharmaceuticals is pursuing product registration in the Republic of Mauritius, where pharmaceutical products are regulated by the Pharmacy Board, operating under the Ministry of Health and Wellness pursuant to the Pharmacy Act 1983. Melanotan II is not currently registered as a pharmaceutical product in Mauritius, and our registration application has not yet been completed. Until registration is granted, Melanotan II is supplied strictly for laboratory research use and is not sold, marketed or labeled as a medicine, supplement or treatment for any condition in any jurisdiction.

Tiger Blood Pharmaceuticals does not hold regulatory approval for Melanotan II in the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom, or any other jurisdiction. Because this website is publicly accessible, customers are responsible for confirming that the purchase, import and use of this product is lawful where they live before placing an order.

This page will be updated once our Mauritius registration status changes.

Research Evidence

Published research on Melanotan II's pigmentation and libido effects exists mostly in older, small-scale studies and case reports of adverse effects (including new or changing moles, nausea, and spontaneous erections). It has not been evaluated by a major regulator as safe or effective for consumer use.
