MELANOTAN 2
MELANOTAN 2 (MT-2)
Melanotan 2 is a synthetic peptide designed to support the body’s natural melanin production, helping promote a darker, longer-lasting tan with reduced sun exposure. Popular within the fitness, beauty, and lifestyle communities, MT-2 is often used by individuals seeking a bronzed appearance year-round.
Melanotan 2 is a peptide analogue of alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH), which interacts with melanocortin receptors involved in skin pigmentation. Many users report enhanced tanning response, deeper skin tone, and improved tanning efficiency when combined with responsible UV exposure. (DermNet®)

• Darker skin pigmentation
• Reduced tendency to burn during sun exposure
• Longer-lasting tan appearance
• Increased confidence in skin appearance
Some users also report appetite suppression and increased libido due to Melanotan 2’s interaction with melanocortin receptors throughout the body. (unsw.edu.au)
