Melanotan 2
10mg
Melanotan 2 activates melanocortin receptors, producing independent effects on skin pigmentation, libido, and appetite through distinct receptor subtypes. Research subjects show measurable pigmentation increases within two to four weeks without UV exposure, and libido improvements in 73% of participants of both sexes.

Onset of visible tanning response without UV exposure
Tanning mechanism. Binds MC1R on melanocytes to trigger melanin synthesis, the same biological pathway as UV-induced tanning, producing chemically identical pigmentation.
Libido mechanism. MC4R activation in the hypothalamus initiates arousal signaling directly, independent of testosterone, estrogen, or other sex hormones.
Appetite suppression. Suppresses neuropeptide Y signaling, reducing caloric intake 20 to 30% within 24 hours in hypothalamic studies.
Safety profile. No significant effects on cortisol or sex hormones across published trials; no cardiac, hepatic, or renal adverse effects documented.
