Format: 5 mg or 10 mg lyophilized vial (reconstituted for injection or intranasal)
Administration: Subcutaneous injection or intranasal
Melanotan-1 is a synthetic analog of α-MSH that stimulates melanocortin receptors to promote skin pigmentation and tanning.
Provides UV protection and may offer minimal libido benefits.
Valuable for research into tanning and skin-related effects.
Peptide Name: Melanotan-1
Main Function: Promotes skin pigmentation and UV protection
Mechanism of Action: Activates melanocortin receptors → increases melanin production
Enhances natural tanning and skin pigmentation
Provides UV radiation protection
May increase libido (minimal compared to MT-2)
Potential appetite suppression (less pronounced than MT-2)
Supports skin health under controlled sun exposure

| Target Dose | Volume (mL) | U-100 Syringe Units |
|---|---|---|
| 0.25 mg | 0.05 mL | 5 units on a syringe |
| 0.5 mg | 0.10 mL | 10 units on a syringe |
Recommended Research Protocol:
• Inject 0.25–0.5 mg per dose
• Once daily or every second day during initial loading
• Transition to maintenance 1–2 times per week as desired pigmentation stabilize
Typical daily range: 0.1–1.0 mg
Most common use: 0.2mg – 0.5 mg per injection, subcutaneous, once daily
Loading phase (optional): 0.2 mg daily, titrated up over 1–2 weeks
Maintenance phase: 1–2 injections per week, dose depending on desired pigmentation
Start with the lowest effective dose
Smaller doses minimize risk of nausea, flushing, or darkened moles.
For laboratory research only. Not approved for human use.
On-Cycle: 4–6 weeks
Off-Cycle: 8–12 weeks
Tapering: Not required
Why Cycle?: Prevents excessive darkening and overstimulation; avoids tan dysmorphia.
Stimulates melanocortin receptors for controlled tanning and UV protection.
Efficacy observed at controlled doses with minimal side effects.
Often combined with sun exposure for optimal pigmentation results.
Mild nausea or flushing (temporary)
Injection site irritation (if injectable)
Excessive tanning if overused
Is MT-1 the same as MT-2? No, MT-1 focuses on tanning and UV protection with fewer libido/appetite effects.
Can it be used without sun? Yes, but sun exposure maximizes tanning results.
Does it affect hormones? Minimal impact; primarily targets melanocortin receptors.
When are results noticeable? Tanning may begin within a week with sun exposure.
Melanotan-1 is a melanocortin agonist valued for tanning and UV protection. Available in 5 mg or 10 mg vials, it is a versatile option for research into skin pigmentation and related applications.
