MT-2 Overview

Melanotan II is being researched for the purposes of sunless tanning, appetite suppression, increased sexual desire and penile erection and other conditions such as rosacea and fibromyalgia. Melanotan is similar to a substance in our bodies, called “melanocyte-stimulating hormone.” This hormone increases the production of skin-darkening pigments and may also stimulate erections of the penis. Research is ongoing and the claimed benefits are still emerging.
