Understanding Melanotan II: Myths, Facts, and Safety Concerns
Melanotan II is a synthetic analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), primarily known for its tanning effects. It works by boosting melanin production, providing a sunless tanning option. Beyond aesthetics, it has been linked to increased libido and potential appetite suppression. However, Melanotan II is unregulated in many areas; thus, safety concerns exist. Reported side effects include nausea and blood pressure changes, among others. Caution and medical consultation are advised as its use comes with both potential benefits and risks.
