BUY MELANOTAN II (Melanotan II Peptide Hormone) 10MG

Description

WHAT IS MELANOTAN II PEPTIDE HORMONE:

Melanotan II is a synthetic analogue of alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It is a cyclic heptapeptide that binds to melanocortin receptors MC1R through MC5R. Research has examined its binding profile across the melanocortin receptor subtypes and its role as a reference compound in receptor-signalling studies. Its cyclic structure gives it better stability than linear α-MSH, making it one of the most widely used compounds in melanocortin receptor research. Supplied as lyophilised powder, third-party tested, lab certificate published on this page.

MELANOTAN 2 DOSAGE:

Melanotan II Peptide Hormone 10mg/vial

HOW TO USE MELANOTAN 2 PEPTIDE:

Inject 300mcg once daily for 1 – 2 weeks then 500mcg twice weekly thereafter for maintenance.

It can cause nausea, so it is recommended to use lower dosages at first.

Melanotan II Structure

Melanotan II is distinguished from the native α-MSH fragment by structural modifications including a lactam bridge, D-phenylalanine substitution and norleucine substitution.

These modifications constrain the peptide’s structure and contribute to its stability and receptor activity, making MT2 a useful compound for experimental melanocortin research.

Laboratory Research Information

Melanotan II is supplied as a lyophilised peptide powder. Laboratory handling and storage should follow the manufacturer’s analytical documentation and applicable laboratory protocols.

The current product information specifies protection from light and temperature-controlled storage for maintaining peptide integrity.

Quality & Testing

For research procurement, analytical documentation such as a Certificate of Analysis can help researchers verify:

• Peptide identity
• Purity
• Batch information
• Analytical methodology
• Quantity
• Release specifications

Is Melanotan II Approved in the UK?

Melanotan II is not a licensed medicine in the United Kingdom. The MHRA has previously warned about unauthorised Melanotan products and reported suspected adverse drug reactions associated with Melanotan II products.

This product should therefore be presented strictly as an in-vitro research compound, rather than as a medicine, tanning treatment or product intended for administration to humans.
