What Melanotan 1 is
Melanotan 1 is a synthetic analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It works by activating the MC1R receptor in skin cells, which increases production of melanin (specifically eumelanin, the darker and more protective type).
Melanotan 1 10mg Peptide is widely used in research to study melanogenesis and skin pigmentation processes.
Melanotan 1 10mg Peptide supports controlled laboratory analysis of peptide interactions with melanocortin receptors.
It is formulated under strict quality standards to ensure purity and consistency in research settings.
Intended strictly for laboratory and analytical use, not for human consumption.
Evidence-based benefits
1. Increased skin pigmentation
- Consistently shown in clinical and experimental studies
- Produces darker pigmentation by increasing eumelanin
- Can enhance tanning response with less UV exposure
This is the most well-established effect.
2. Photoprotection (reduced UV damage)
- Higher melanin levels provide partial protection against UV radiation
- Studies show reduced formation of sunburn cells and DNA damage when exposed to UV
Important: this is protective, but not equivalent to sunscreen and does not eliminate risk.
