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.

Melanotan 2 is typically administered via subcutaneous injection. It’s important to note that the use of MT-2 often involves a loading phase followed by a maintenance phase, where the dosing schedule may vary.
Purpose and Effects:
MT-2 is often used for its cosmetic effects, providing a tan-like appearance to the skin. Some users also claim it may help protect against UV radiation, although this is not a substitute for proper sun protection methods such as sunscreen use.
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.
