Melanotan 2 (MT2) 10 mg
Melanotan II (MT-2) is a synthetic cyclic heptapeptide analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (a-MSH). It acts as a non-selective agonist of melanocortin receptors (MC1, MC3, MC4, and MC5), and is researched for its influence on melanogenesis (pigmentation), appetite regulation, and erectile function.
