Melanotan 2

Melanotan 2, also known as MT-2, is a synthetic analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone. It was developed in the 1980s and has demonstrated several effects, including increasing sexual arousal, reducing compulsive/addictive behavior, suppressing appetite, and promoting the development of lean body mass. Research indicates that this peptide can stimulate melanocytes, resulting in heightened skin pigmentation. Moreover, there is ongoing investigation into its potential application in addressing autism when administered during early childhood development.
