How it works

Melanotan II is a synthetic analogue of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone that activates melanocortin receptors, increasing melanin production (tanning) and affecting appetite and sexual arousal pathways. It is widely sold illicitly; its non-selective receptor activity underlies both its effects and its safety concerns.
