What it does

Melanotan II is a synthetic analogue of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (a-MSH). It activates MC1R receptors in melanocytes to increase melanin production (darker skin), and MC3R/MC4R receptors in the hypothalamus which affect appetite and sexual arousal. The tanning effect is long-lasting and cumulative.

The melanocortin system is broad — which explains why a single compound produces effects on pigmentation, appetite, and libido simultaneously.

Dosage & Protocol

Subcutaneous injection. Loading: 0.25-0.5mg/day for 2-3 weeks. Maintenance: 0.25mg every 2-3 days. Minimal UV exposure helps activate melanocytes. 10 vials provides 12+ months.
