What is Melanotan 2?
Melanotan 2 is a synthetic analog of the naturally occurring hormone α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It is primarily used for its potential to stimulate melanin production in the skin, leading to darkening of the skin pigmentation.

Potential Risks and Side Effects:
The use of MT-2 is associated with potential risks and side effects. These can include nausea, facial flushing, increased libido, appetite suppression, and darkening of moles.
