Melanotan II (MT-II) is a synthetic peptide. It is most commonly known for its ability to stimulate the production of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color. This has made it popular for achieving a tan without sun exposure.
Uses:1. Skin Tanning:
Originally developed as a way to reduce skin cancer risk by increasing melanin and providing a protective tan without UV damage.
Used cosmetically for a deep, even tan.
2. Sexual Dysfunction:
Found to have a side effect of increasing libido and spontaneous erections in men, leading to research on related compounds like *Bremelanotide (PT-141)* for treating erectile dysfunction and hypoactive sexual desire disorder.
3. Other Potential Benefits:
Some anecdotal evidence suggests it might have appetite-suppressing effects and help with weight control, though this is not a primary use.
