Melanotan I 10mg
Melanotan I (afamelanotide) is a synthetic 13-residue analogue of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone. Two substitutions, norleucine at position 4 and D-phenylalanine at position 7, make it far more stable than the native hormone. Unlike Melanotan II it is linear and acts mainly at MC1R. Supplied for laboratory research use only. Not for human or veterinary use.
A linear alpha-MSH analogue selective for MC1R.

What the research shows
Studies have examined melanogenesis and eumelanin production through MC1R, and the photoprotective effect of the pigmentation that follows.
Its regulatory approval as an implant for a rare photodermatosis brought a substantial clinical dataset on pharmacokinetics and safety, useful for melanocortin research design.
