Melanotan 1 is a research chemical that is for research purposes only and not for human consumption. Melanotan is an artificial drug that mimics the stimulating hormone melanocyte (a-MSH). Research has discovered Melanotan has the capability to encourage skin pigmentation through the hormone melanogenesis, resulting in a tan. It is being studied to prevent sun damage to the skin from exposure to UVA rays.

Melanotan 1 is very similar to naturally occurring alpha melanocyte stimulating hormone alpha-MSH (Melanotan 2). Alpha-MSH is primarily known for its influence on melanocytes, the cells in skin and hair responsible for pigmentation. This function is mediated via strong binding to melanocortin receptor 1. Alpha-MSH is a non-selective full agonist of melanocortin receptors 1, 3, 4, and 5. Melanotan 1 differs from alpha-MSH (Melanotan 2) by a single amino acid and was actually first developed as a sunless tanning agent. Research into melanocortin receptors and their effects was relatively limited at the time and scientists quickly discovered that while melanotan 1 did indeed cause pigmentation, it also increases sexual arousal, boosted appetite, and altered baseline metabolism. Subsequent study of melanotan 1 and other melanocortin-binding proteins helped scientists to better understand the melanocortin signaling system. -
Melanotan 2 (MT-2) is a synthetic analogue of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone. Developed in the 1980s, Melanotan 2 has been shown to increase sexual arousal, reduce compulsive/addictive behavior, curb hunger, and promote lean body mass. Research has shown the peptide to stimulate melanocytes therefore producing increased skin pigmentation and may help to combat autism when used during early childhood development. Melanotan 2 is a research peptide and also known as Melanotan II and MT2. This is still being studied but is known as a tanning peptide. Melanotan 2 is a man-made drug and works by encouraging the natural production of melanin in the body. Melanin is the body’s natural defense against UV exposure and damage. The main principle is to darken the skin safely and protect but without damage to the skin. PRODUCT USAGE WARNING : This PRODUCT IS INTENDED AS A RESEARCH CHEMICAL ONLY.

PT-141, also called Bremelanotide (generic clinical name), is a heavily modified synthetic derivative of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone. It has been tested in clinical trials as a treatment for both male/female hypoactive sexual desire disorder and acute hemorrhage. PT-141 is an agonist for the melanocortin-4 and melanocortin-1 receptors. Research shows that it promotes sexual arousal and stimulates the immune system.PT-141 or Bremelanotide is a research chemical and being studied and not for human consumption. So far the results of investigations have found it to improve sexual dysfunction in both male and female patients. PRODUCT USAGE WARNING : This PRODUCT IS INTENDED AS A RESEARCH CHEMICAL ONLY.
