Melanotan I
10mgSELECTIVE MC1R TANNING PEPTIDE
Selective melanocortin peptide for natural tanning with fewer systemic effects
Melanotan I (Afamelanotide) is a synthetic peptide that stimulates melanin production for a deeper, natural tan. It is more selective for MC1R than Melanotan 2, resulting in fewer systemic side effects but a slower, more gradual tanning response.
KEY BENEFITS
Targeted
Natural Tanning
