How It Works:
Melanotan II is a synthetic analogue of the alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). Once injected, it binds to melanocortin receptors, especially MC1-R, stimulating the production of melanin — the pigment responsible for skin color. Increased melanin production helps darken the skin naturally, even with minimal sun exposure. MT2 may also cause increased libido and appetite suppression in some users.
