Research purposes only.
Powder peptide.
3rd party tested.
Melanotan 1 plays a key role in stimulating skin pigmentation, enabling self-tanning with minimal UV exposure. This allows the body to develop an even tan, including in areas not directly exposed to sunlight. While UV exposure can speed up the tanning process in sun-exposed regions, Melanotan 1 also helps reduce sun damage and has been shown to increase sexual arousal, desire, and appetite.

  • Melanotan 1 is similar to naturally occurring alpha melanocyte stimulating hormone alpha-MSH (Melanotan 2). Alpha-MSH is known for its influence on melanocytes, the cells in skin and hair responsible for pigmentation.

    Melanotan 1 was initially developed at the University of Arizona in the late 1980s. The research aimed to understand the effects of melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH) on the body’s pigmentation process. Scientists discovered that a shorter chain of amino acids, known as a peptide, was responsible for triggering the production of melanin in the skin. This breakthrough led to the creation of Melanotan 1, a synthetic analog of the naturally occurring MSH.Melanotan 1 works by binding to the melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R) in the skin cells. This receptor is responsible for regulating the production of eumelanin. This pigment gives color to the skin, hair, and eyes. By activating MC1R, Melanotan 1 stimulates the synthesis and release of eumelanin, which results in increased pigmentation and a darker skin tone.
