Melanatan 1 -10mg

Melanotan I (Melanotan 1), also known as Afamelanotide, is a synthetic peptide that mimics the body's natural alpha-MSH hormone and stimulates the production of melanin, the pigment that gives skin its color. It was originally developed to increase skin pigmentation and provide some protection against UV damage.

Common Research Uses of Melanotan I

• Increased skin tanning and pigmentation
• Enhanced melanin production
• Potential reduction of UV-related skin damage
• Photoprotection research
• Treatment of certain light-sensitive conditions (Afamelanotide is approved for some patients with Erythropoietic Protoporphyria)

Melanotan I vs. Melanotan II

• Melanotan I is more selective for skin pigmentation pathways and is generally associated with fewer libido-related effects.
• Melanotan II is often discussed for tanning but can also affect sexual arousal and appetite.

Potential Side Effects

Reported side effects include:

• Nausea
• Headache
• Fatigue
• Darkening of freckles and moles
• Changes in skin pigmentation
