Description

Melanotan 2 (MT-II) is a synthetic peptide that mimics a natural hormone involved in skin pigmentation, energy regulation and sexual function, it has been studied and reported to provide several effects

The most common use for MT-II is enhanced skin tanning through increased melanin production, resulting in a darker, longer-lasting tan with reduced reliance on UV exposure and some degree of natural photoprotection

MT-II is also known for increasing libido and sexual arousal in both men and women, with effects on erectile function that led to the development of its derivative PT-141, an FDA-approved treatment for hypoactive sexual desire disorder. Additionally, it may suppress appetite and support weight management by acting on appetite- regulating pathways in the brain, and emerging research suggests possible immune-modulating and anti-inflammatory effects
