Melanotan 2 10 mg – Blaze of Sunless Radiance
Spark Your Tanning Research
Imagine a lab where skin glows with a deep tan, UV damage fades, and new metabolic insights emerge. Melanotan 2 10 mg from Peptide Sciences USA makes this real. This potent cyclic peptide boosts melanin production, protects against UV, and influences appetite and sexual function. It's your blaze for leading breakthroughs in skin health and metabolism, crafted for trailblazing researchers like you.
The Science Behind Sunless Tanning
Melanotan 2 (MT-II, sequence: Ac-Nle-cyclo[Asp-His-D-Phe-Arg-Trp-Lys]-NH2) is a synthetic cyclic heptapeptide that activates melanocortin receptors (MC1R, MC3R, MC4R, MC5R), stimulating eumelanin production for tanning, per Dorr et al. Unlike Melanotan 1, it crosses the blood-brain barrier, binding MC4R to suppress appetite and enhance sexual function, per Wessells et al. In a phase 1 trial, 0.01–0.03 mg/kg subcutaneous doses every other day for 2 weeks increased skin pigmentation in humans, per [web:0].
It also reduces UV-induced damage and shows promise in autism models by reversing social deficits via MC4R, per Minakova et al. However, it's not FDA-approved for tanning due to side effects like nausea and erections. The 10 mg injectable dosage is ideal for studying sunless tanning, photoprotection, appetite regulation, and sexual behavior, with applications in dermatology, obesity, and neurobehavioral research.
Why Melanotan 2 10 mg Fuels Your Studies
Melanotan 2 isn't just a peptide—it's a blaze that transforms tanning and metabolic research. Here's what makes it shine:
- Sunless Tanning: Boosts eumelanin for skin pigmentation after 5 doses, per clinical trials.
- Photoprotection: Reduces UV damage, aiding research in vitiligo and skin cancer prevention.
- Appetite Suppression: Activates MC4R, reducing food intake in preclinical models.
- Sexual Function: Enhances libido and erectile function via MC4R, per studies.
- Top Quality: Crafted by Peptide Sciences USA with 99% purity for reliable results.
With Melanotan 2 10 mg, you're not just studying—you're leading a breakthrough in skin health and metabolism.
Product Specifications
Peptide Sciences USA's Melanotan 2 10 mg is your key to cutting-edge tanning studies. Here's the breakdown:
- Composition: Contains 10 mg Melanotan 2 (C50H69N15O9, 1024.18 g/mol).
- Pack Size: Single vial of lyophilized powder, requiring reconstitution for subcutaneous injection.
- Manufacturing: Produced by Peptide Sciences USA with 99% purity, verified by HPLC and Mass Spectrometry.
- Usage Guidelines: Reconstitute with 1–2 mL bacteriostatic water (5–10 mg/mL). Inject 0.25–0.5 mg (250–500 mcg) subcutaneously daily or every other day for 1–2 weeks in research protocols. Start with 0.25 mg to assess tolerance. Use under professional supervision.
- Storage: Store lyophilized powder at -20°C for long-term stability or 4°C for short-term use (up to 3–4 weeks). After reconstitution, refrigerate at 2–8°C and use within 28 days.
- Safety: Clinical trials report side effects like nausea, flushing, and erections; high doses (≥0.03 mg/kg) may cause fatigue or mole darkening. Limited human data requires oversight.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take for Melanotan 2 to work?
Tanning effects appear within 7–14 days with 0.25–0.5 mg subcutaneous doses daily or every other day, per clinical studies.
Do you need sun exposure for Melanotan 2 to work?
No, Melanotan 2 induces tanning without UV exposure, though sunlight or UV enhances pigmentation, per research.
Does Melanotan 2 change eye color?
No evidence suggests Melanotan 2 changes eye color; it primarily affects skin melanin, with no ocular pigmentation effects reported.
How to mix Melanotan 2?
Add 1–2 mL bacteriostatic water to the 10 mg vial, swirl gently, and refrigerate for a few hours until dissolved. Do not shake.
What is Melanotan 2 used for?
Melanotan 2 is studied for sunless tanning, photoprotection, appetite suppression, and sexual function enhancement via melanocortin receptors.
