PROTOCOL BENEFITS
◆
Activates melanocyte receptors to stimulate melanin production.
◆
Originally developed to reduce skin cancer risk by enhancing the body's UV protection system.
◆
Multi-receptor melanocortin activity influences appetite and metabolic signaling pathways.
SCIENCE
MT-2 is a synthetic analog of alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone, a peptide that regulates skin pigmentation.
Its research extends into melanocortin receptor pathways including MC3R and MC4R, which influence appetite, energy metabolism, and immune modulation.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Pigmentation changes are typically observed within 7-14 days, with full depth of color developing over 3-4 weeks.
PROTOCOL NOTE
Available in 10mg. For research use only. Full usage documentation included with every order.
