MELANOTAN II (MT-2)

MT-2 (Melanotan II) is a synthetic peptide originally developed to stimulate melanin production in the body. It mimics alpha-MSH (melanocyte-stimulating hormone).

What it does 

MT-2 primarily acts on melanocortin receptors, which influence skin pigmentation, appetite, and sexual function.

Commonly discussed benefits (research / anecdotal use)

• Increased tanning / skin darkening
  Helps the body produce more melanin, often leading to a deeper tan with less UV exposure.
• Reduced sunburn risk (indirect)
  More melanin can offer some natural UV protection (not a replacement for sunscreen).
• Libido enhancement
  MT-2 is known to increase sexual arousal in some users due to CNS effects.
• Appetite suppression
  Can reduce hunger in some individuals.
• Possible fat-loss support
  Secondary effect via appetite control, not a fat burner itself.
