Melanotan II Acetate (MT-II)
Description:
Melanotan II Acetate is a synthetic analog of the alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), designed to promote melanin production, skin pigmentation, and photoprotection. Beyond its tanning properties, Melanotan II has also been studied for its effects on sexual function, energy regulation, and appetite control, due to its activity at multiple melanocortin receptors (MC1R–MC5R).
Key Benefits:
Stimulates natural tanning through increased melanin synthesis
Provides protection against UV-induced skin damage
Enhances libido and sexual performance via MC4R activation
May reduce appetite and promote energy balance
Supports antioxidant and DNA-protective mechanisms in skin cells
Mechanism of Action:
Melanotan II Acetate acts as a non-selective melanocortin receptor agonist, particularly at MC1R, to stimulate the production of eumelanin, the pigment responsible for darker, UV-resistant skin tone. Its systemic receptor activity also influences sexual arousal centers in the hypothalamus (MC3R/MC4R) and energy regulation pathways, leading to enhanced libido and possible reductions in caloric intake.
