Vial Size: 3ml (can hold up to 3ml BAC water)

Shelf Life: The lyophilized form has a shelf life of 24 months when properly stored. Once reconstituted, refrigerate and use within 4-6 weeks.

Handling: Ensure sanitization techniques are used.

Research

Skin Pigmentation in Rodents – Animal studies have shown that Melanotan 1 stimulates melanogenesis in rodent models, resulting in increased skin pigmentation through activation of melanocortin receptors.

UV Protection in Mice – Research in mice indicates that Melanotan 1 may enhance natural defense mechanisms against UV-induced skin damage by promoting melanin production.

Neurological Activity in Rats – Preclinical trials have observed that Melanotan 1 interacts with central melanocortin pathways in rats, contributing to studies on neurological signaling and receptor activity.

Mechanism of Action

Melanotan I works by copying a natural hormone in the body called alpha-MSH.

This hormone binds to receptors in your skin cells and tells them to make more melanin.

Melanin is the pigment that gives your skin color and protects it from UV damage.

Melanotan I works by copying a natural hormone in the body called alpha-MSH. This hormone tells skin cells to make more melanin, which is the pigment that gives skin its color.

When Melanotan I is in the body, it attaches to special receptors on skin cells. These receptors act like light switches—once Melanotan I connects, they turn on the signal to produce more melanin.

As melanin levels go up, the skin starts to get darker, even without much sun exposure. This is how Melanotan I can help the body tan or protect the skin from sun damage.
