Melatonan 1 10mg

Melanotan 1 | Afamelanotide | 10mg

Melanotan 1 is sold as a 10 mg lyophilised powder.

The compound acts primarily on the melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R), which is found on pigment-producing cells in the skin known as melanocytes. Through this interaction, Melanotan 1 is understood to stimulate the production of eumelanin, the darker form of melanin associated with skin pigmentation. Because melanin plays a role in absorbing ultraviolet radiation, much of the research interest in this peptide has centred on skin pigmentation processes and their relationship to photoprotection. It is worth noting that Melanotan 1, unlike the related compound Melanotan 2, is selective in its receptor activity, which is one of the characteristics distinguishing it as a focus of ongoing investigation.

The molecule afamelanotide is FDA-approved as the prescription medication Scenesse, indicated for increasing light tolerance in adults with erythropoietic protoporphyria. This product is supplied as a research-use preparation.
