Melanotan II (MT-2)
Non-selective melanocortin agonist studied for pigmentation and central function.
WHAT IS IT?
Melanotan II is a synthetic peptide that switches on several melanocortin receptors at once, affecting both skin pigment and central sexual function in research.
WHY ARE PEOPLE INTERESTED?
It's studied in skin and sexual-health research — how the body controls pigmentation and how the same receptors influence sexual function in the brain.
WHAT HAS RESEARCH SHOWN?
Early animal and human research showed skin darkening and sexual effects. It has not been approved and has been the subject of FDA warnings.
Distinguishes established clinical findings from early human trials, animal experiments, or laboratory cell culture findings. No human dosing, injection instructions, or treatment recommendations are provided.
FDA STATUS
Melanotan II is not FDA-approved. FDA warning letters have been issued over consumer tanning sales.
BBOHC LABS research reagents are non-clinical materials. An FDA approval for a finished medicine containing the same active ingredient does not imply that BBOHC's investigational research vial is FDA-approved.
Known risks & handling
Nausea, facial flushing, spontaneous erections, and mole darkening.
