Melanotan

Melanotan 1 (10 mg) – Research Peptide

Description:
Melanotan 1 (also known as Afamelanotide) is a synthetic analog of the naturally occurring alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It is primarily studied for its potential to stimulate melanin production through activation of melanocortin receptors, which may play a role in pigmentation pathways and photoprotection.
