Melanotan I
Pigmentation, and the photoprotection that comes with it.
- Melanin production
- UV photoprotection research
- MC1R selective
- Loading then maintenance
What it is
An alpha-MSH analog studied for melanin production and photoprotection. More selective than the better-known Melanotan II.
How it works
Agonises the MC1R receptor on melanocytes, increasing eumelanin production. Eumelanin is the pigment that actually absorbs UV.
How it is taken
Subcutaneous injection with a loading phase followed by maintenance.
