Description
Melanotan 1 works by mimicking the natural hormone α-MSH, which regulates pigmentation in the body.
- Activates melanocortin receptors (MC1R) → triggers melanin production
- Increases melanin levels in the skin → leads to darker pigmentation
- Enhances natural UV defense → melanin helps absorb and dissipate UV radiation
Unlike tanning through UV exposure alone, this pathway focuses on biological stimulation of pigmentation, which is why it is widely studied in skin-related research.
Skin Pigmentation Studies
Research shows that Melanotan 1 can stimulate melanin production, leading to increased skin pigmentation in controlled models.
UV Protection Research
Preclinical studies suggest that increased melanin levels may help reduce UV-induced skin damage by acting as a natural protective barrier.
Photosensitivity Disorders
Melanotan 1 has been studied in models related to light sensitivity, where enhanced pigmentation may provide protective benefits.
Intended Use: Melanotan 1 is designed for Research Purposes only. All peptides require reconstitution with Bacteriostatic water (BAC water), sold separately.
Storage: Store the vial in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Once reconstituted, keep refrigerated at 2-8°C.
Solubility: Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water for best results. Gently swirl to dissolve, do not shake.
Shelf Life: The lyophilized form has a shelf life of 24 months when properly stored. Once reconstituted, refrigerate and use within 4-6 weeks.
Handling: Ensure sterile techniques are used to maintain the product’s integrity during research.
