About Melanotan 2
Similar to Melanotan 1 but activates more receptor types — including brain receptors linked to arousal and appetite in addition to skin pigmentation. Used to study how the melanocortin system connects tanning, libido, and metabolism through related but distinct pathways.
Melanotan 2 is supplied as a lyophilized powder in sealed vials, reconstituted with bacteriostatic water for laboratory use. Sold strictly for in-vitro and laboratory research purposes. For Research Use Only.
