Melanotan II is a peptide hormone belonging to the alpha-MSH class of mimics. Melanotan II is a synthetic melanotan similar to pituitary derived melanocortin. This peptide is primarily known for its ability to help with tanning, but is also used to help with erectile function. Melanotan II, also known as MT-2, has no other important uses other than tanning and erectile function.
Melanotan II (also known as MT-II or MT-2) is an injectable peptide hormone used to promote tanning. MT-II works by stimulating alpha-melanocyte receptors that promote the formation of melanin in response to sunlight. When given large amounts of MT-II in the recent “memory” of skin cells, individuals tanned like the genetically darker type.
Melanotan II is an analogue of alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (a-MSH). Melanotan peptide is safe and effective, and long-term data continues to grow. Melanotan 2 is a freeze-dried peptide that is sealed in sterile, multipurpose vials. a tanning injection made from powerful A-MSH gives all skin types a photoprotective tan.
