What is Melanotan II?
Melanotan II is a synthetic analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) that stimulates melanin production for skin tanning and has additional effects on sexual arousal and appetite suppression. Originally developed at the University of Arizona as a sunless tanning agent, it has gained attention for its dual effects on pigmentation and sexual function through melanocortin receptor activation.
Key Benefits
Rapid tanning without UV exposure, enhanced libido and sexual function, appetite suppression, and improved mood through melanocortin activation.
Mechanism of Action
Binds to melanocortin receptors (MC1R, MC3R, MC4R, MC5R) throughout the body. MC1R activation stimulates melanocytes to produce eumelanin, while MC4R affects sexual arousal and appetite regulation.
