Melanotan 1 10mg

Melanotan 1, also known as afamelanotide, is a synthetic peptide that stimulates melanin production in the skin, leading to a gradual and natural tan. It is primarily used to prevent sunburn and protect against UV damage, particularly in individuals with fair skin or conditions that increase sun sensitivity. Unlike Melanotan 2, MT1 does not affect libido or appetite.

Benefits of Melanotan 1:

• Natural Tanning: Provides a gradual and even tan without excessive sun exposure.

• UV Protection: Enhances the skin’s natural defense against UV rays, reducing the risk of sunburn.

• Reduced Skin Damage: Decreases the risk of long-term sun damage and skin cancer.

• Ideal for Sensitive Skin: Suitable for individuals with conditions like erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP) and fair-skinned individuals prone to sunburn.

Protocol for Melanotan 1:

• Dosage: Standard dose ranges from 0.16 mg/kg to 0.25 mg/kg injected subcutaneously, typically administered once daily or every other day.

• Duration: Treatment protocols often last 2-4 weeks to achieve desired results, followed by maintenance doses as needed.

• Maintenance: Lower doses can be administered 1-2 times per week to maintain results.

Adverse Effects of Melanotan 1:

• Nausea: Mild nausea, especially after initial doses.

• Skin Darkening: Darkening of existing moles and freckles.

• Flushing: Temporary facial flushing post-injection.

• Fatigue: Mild fatigue or lethargy may occur.

Note: Adverse effects are typically mild and transient but should be monitored during treatment.
