Melanotan II
Melanotan 2
Synthetic (lab-made) analog of a natural hormone in the body called alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH).
Its primary it’s studied effect is to stimulate the production of eumelanin, the dark brown/black pigment in your skin, leading to a tan without the need for extended sun exposure or UV radiation.
This high-purity research compound is offered exclusively for in vitro laboratory and preclinical studies by qualified research professionals. It is not for human or veterinary consumption. All work must comply with applicable research regulations and institutional guidelines.
Description
Melanotan 2
This is a synthetic (lab-made) analog of a natural hormone in the body called alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH).
Its primary studied effect is to stimulate the production of eumelanin, the dark brown/black pigment in your skin, leading to a tan without the need for extended sun exposure or UV radiation.
Mechanism: It binds to melanocortin receptors in the body, primarily MC1R receptors on skin cells called melanocytes.
Effect: This binding triggers melanogenesis—the process where melanocytes produce eumelanin, darkening the skin.
Key Difference from a Natural Tan: While it does still require some UV exposure to “activate” the tan, the amount of UV needed is significantly less than for a natural tan. The idea is to use a small amount of sun or UV beds to trigger the already-primed melanin production.
