Melanotan-2

Melanotan-2 is a synthetic cyclic peptide analog of the alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It is known for its ability to stimulate melanogenesis (pigmentation) and has been widely studied for its potential in skin health research and other physiological areas. Melanotan-2 is provided in lyophilized powder form for research purposes related to pigmentation, sexual health, and appetite regulation.
