Melanotan I - 10mg (Don't forget bac water)

Melanotan I (MT-I) 10 mg

Melanotan I (MT-I), also known as afamelanotide in its pharmaceutical form, is a synthetic peptide that mimics the naturally occurring hormone alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It has been studied for its ability to stimulate melanin production in the skin.

Common Research Areas

• Melanin production
• Skin pigmentation
• UV response
• Photoprotection
• Melanocortin receptor activity

How It Works

Melanotan I binds primarily to melanocortin-1 (MC1) receptors on melanocytes, stimulating the production of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color. Increased melanin production has been studied for its role in the skin's natural response to ultraviolet (UV) exposure.

Potential Benefits Being Studied

• Increased skin pigmentation
• Support for the body's natural tanning response
• Reduced sensitivity to UV exposure in research settings
• Melanocortin receptor activation
• Skin photobiology research
