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.

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.
