About Melanotan I

Melanotan I (also known as afamelanotide) is a synthetic analog of alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH) that has been studied in research settings. It operates by binding to melanocortin receptors, particularly the MC1R receptor found in melanocytes. When activated, these receptors trigger increased production of melanin, the body's natural pigment. Research indicates it may also have effects on appetite regulation and metabolic processes through its interaction with other melanocortin receptor subtypes. Laboratory studies have observed that it stimulates the conversion of tyrosine to eumelanin through enhanced tyrosinase activity in melanocytes.
