Melanotan I 10 MG

Melanotan I (also known as Afamelanotide or MT-1) is a synthetic analog of the naturally occurring alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It is a 13-amino acid peptide designed to activate melanocortin receptors, primarily MC1R, which stimulates melanin production in the skin, leading to increased tanning and photoprotection.

Research involving Melanotan I commonly explores:

• Its ability to enhance melanin production and accelerate tanning while reducing susceptibility to sunburn, providing potential protection against ultraviolet (UV) radiation damage.
• Potential applications in protecting skin in individuals with poor tanning ability or high UV sensitivity to reduce skin cancer risk.
• Effects on blood pressure regulation, showing protective effects against hypertension in animal models without causing hypotension in normotensive subjects.
• Neuroprotective properties demonstrated in preclinical models of Alzheimer’s disease and neuroinflammation, including reduction of amyloid beta plaques and improved cognitive function.
• Anti-inflammatory and immune-modulatory effects in diseases like multiple sclerosis and uveitis through melanocortin receptor activation.
• Possible fat metabolism enhancement via stimulation of melanocortin receptors influencing fatty acid oxidation in muscle and adipose tissue.
Melanotan I has been studied in several phase I and II clinical trials, indicating its efficacy in tanning and photoprotection, along with emerging research in neuroprotection and metabolic health.
