The short answer
What is Melanotan 2?
Melanotan 2 (MT-2) is a synthetic analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH). It activates melanocortin receptors, and the described mechanism is increased melanin synthesis, which is why it is studied for tanning and pigmentation with less UV exposure than sunlight alone would require. The only clinical work is an early pilot phase-I study describing increased melanogenesis (Dorr et al., 1996); MT-2 has no large registered human safety trial, and that absence is the most important fact about it. Documented risks include darkening of existing moles and, in a published case report, renal infarction (Peters et al., 2020), so moles are photographed and blood pressure is monitored before any research use. Every dose in the research is what a study reported, not a dose for any person, and a qualified clinician sets any personal dose.
The Science
How Melanotan 2 Tans
Melanotan 2, written MT-2 on most labels, is an analog of a hormone the body already uses to control pigment. By activating melanocortin receptors, the described mechanism is increased melanin synthesis in advance of any UV exposure. It is not the same molecule as Melanotan 1, which is more selective for the pigment receptor and is approved only for a rare light-sensitivity condition: our MT1 vs MT2 comparison sets the two side by side.
Melanocortin Activation
Binds melanocortin receptors that regulate the skin's pigment-producing cells.
Melanin Production
Prompts melanocytes to produce more melanin, the pigment that creates a tan.
Less UV Needed
With melanin synthesis raised, reports describe more pigmentation for a given amount of UV exposure.
Before You Start
Two non-negotiable precautions
- Moles are documented before any administration. MT-2 is reported to darken existing moles and freckles, so photographing and noting them beforehand is what makes a change detectable. MT-2 is not for anyone with a history of melanoma or atypical moles, and that is a dermatologist question.
- Blood pressure is monitored, particularly early. Uncontrolled blood pressure or a cardiovascular condition is a reason to involve a clinician before anything else.

Ordering
What should you check before you buy Melanotan 2?
Melanotan 2 is supplied as a research compound, so what separates one 10mg vial from another is documentation, not branding. Three things are worth checking before you order anywhere, including here. The released Peptara Labs batch, lot MT2-260409-A, shows identity by HPLC-RTM + LC-MS with a measured mass of 1024.2 Da, 99.20% purity by HPLC, and 10.21 mg of net peptide in a 10mg vial, with sterility, bacterial endotoxin, heavy metals and a fentanyl screen on the same panel.
Melanotan 2 and Melanotan 1 are different molecules with different regulatory status, so check that the certificate names the one you are buying (MT1 vs MT2). Every vial arrives as a freeze-dried powder, so mixing it is the first thing that happens after it lands: our guide to reconstituting Melanotan 2 covers the arithmetic for the 10mg vial.
A batch COA, not a generic one
Ask for the third-party Certificate of Analysis for the exact batch being shipped to you. Every Peptara Labs Melanotan 2 vial has one. Vials ship unlabeled on purpose, so we confirm your batch from your order number on WhatsApp.
A seller with a name
Anonymous channels have no accountability if a vial arrives wrong. We answer on WhatsApp under our own name, before and after the order.
Handling you can verify
Peptides ship lyophilized, which is stable at room temperature for weeks. Ask how the vial travels and how to store it once it arrives.
Dosage, as studied
How is Melanotan 2 dosage worked out?
There is no established human dose for Melanotan 2, because there is no large registered trial to set one. The only clinical dosing data is the early pilot phase-I study (Dorr et al., 1996), and it is not a basis for a personal protocol. So the honest answer is that this site does not pick a figure for anyone: a qualified clinician sets any dose, and every number in the research is what a study reported, not an instruction.
What you can work out yourself is the arithmetic. Reconstitution is concentration math: the volume of bacteriostatic water you add against the 10mg in the vial fixes how much peptide sits in each unit on an insulin syringe. Add more water and each unit holds less; add less and each unit holds more. Our guide to reconstituting Melanotan 2 walks the 10mg vial through that step, and the peptide reconstitution calculator reports the result in units rather than mL.

Reported timeline
What published reports describe, week by week
Mechanism
MT-2 is a synthetic analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone. It binds melanocortin receptors, and the described mechanism is increased melanin synthesis in melanocytes.
UV dependence
The published account is that the peptide raises the skin capacity to produce melanin, and a light stimulus is still required for pigmentation to occur.
Evidence base
MT-2 has no large registered human safety trial. The absence of that trial programme is itself the most important thing the record says about it.
Documented risks
Darkening of existing moles and freckles is a reported effect, which is why safety commentary emphasises documenting moles before any administration and excludes anyone with a melanoma or atypical-mole history.

Buying Melanotan 2: FAQ
Where can I order Melanotan 2?
Peptara Labs sells Melanotan 2 (MT-2) online as a 10mg research-grade vial, ordered from this page. Judge any source by its documentation: the third-party certificate for the exact batch you would receive, a named seller you can reach after the order, and how the vial ships and is stored.
How much does Melanotan 2 cost?
One 10mg vial is $140 USD, which is $14.00 per mg. Signing up by email takes 15 percent off a first order, which brings a vial to $119. Buying more of the same compound lowers the per-vial price on that line, to 40 percent off at 10 vials, which is $84 each.
Does Peptara Labs ship Melanotan 2 to the US?
Yes. Orders to the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and New Zealand ship tracked in 5 to 10 business days, guaranteed. Shipping is a flat $35, free over $250.
How do I verify the purity of Melanotan 2 before I buy?
Read certificate COA-2026-3925 for the released batch, lot MT2-260409-A: 99.20 percent purity by HPLC, identity by HPLC-RTM + LC-MS with a measured mass of 1024.2 Da, and 10.21 mg of net content in a 10mg vial, tested by Titreon Analytical, whose panel also reports sterility, bacterial endotoxin, heavy metals and a fentanyl screen. Vials ship unlabeled, so your order number on WhatsApp is what ties your vial to its batch certificate.
What comes with a Melanotan 2 order?
One sealed 10mg vial of lyophilized Melanotan 2 and bacteriostatic water to reconstitute it, plus a printed reference guide to what published studies reported. The batch certificate is published on the certificates page, because the vial itself ships unlabeled.
Is Melanotan 2 for human use?
No. Melanotan 2 is sold as research-grade material for laboratory research use only, not for human use. It is not an approved medicine, and it has no large registered human safety trial.
Melanotan 2 (MT-2) FAQ
What is Melanotan 2 (MT-2) and how does it work?
Melanotan 2, commonly shortened to MT-2, is a synthetic analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone. It activates melanocortin receptors, and the described mechanism is increased production of melanin, the pigment responsible for tanning. Reports describe deeper and more even pigmentation for a given amount of UV exposure than UV exposure alone.
Is MT-2 the same as Melanotan 2?
Yes, they are two names for the same compound. Melanotan 2 is the full name, MT-2 (sometimes written MT2 or Melanotan-2) is the short form used on labels and in research write-ups. If you are comparing vials from different sellers, the spelling difference is not a product difference: check the batch Certificate of Analysis instead.
Is MT-2 safe? What are the cautions?
MT-2 is a research compound with no large registered human safety trial, which is the central fact about its safety record. Published safety commentary emphasises two points: blood pressure is monitored, and existing moles are documented before any administration, because MT-2 is reported to darken moles and freckles. It is not for anyone with a personal or family history of melanoma or atypical moles, and that is a question for a dermatologist. Nausea, flushing and appetite changes are commonly reported early effects. Any dosing or safety schedule belongs with a licensed clinician.
Is Peptara Labs a real company?
Yes. Peptara Labs is a registered business with responsive customer support via WhatsApp. Unlike anonymous Telegram sellers, we stand behind every order with our name, reputation, and ongoing support.
Are your peptides real?
Every Melanotan 2 vial comes with a third-party Certificate of Analysis (COA) confirming 98%+ purity. We source from verified manufacturers and can provide lab documentation upon request. If you want to see a COA before ordering, message us on WhatsApp and we'll send it over.
Will the peptides survive shipping and heat?
Yes. Peptides ship in their lyophilized (freeze-dried powder) form, which is stable at room temperature for weeks. Fast, tracked delivery keeps transit short. Once reconstituted with bacteriostatic water, store the vial in your refrigerator. Storage instructions are included with every order.
What does the record say about how quickly pigmentation appears?
There is no controlled human trial establishing a pigmentation timeline for MT-2. What the published mechanism supports is that the peptide raises the capacity to produce melanin and that a light stimulus is still required, so any reported timing depends on the UV exposure alongside it. Reported accounts are not trial data, and this site does not present them as one.
Does Melanotan 2 work without sun exposure?
Not on its own. Melanotan 2 increases the skin capacity to produce melanin, but a light stimulus is still needed to activate it, so with zero UV exposure there is nothing for the primed skin to respond to. The reported effect is that less total exposure produces a given amount of pigmentation than UV alone.
Does MT2 cause fat loss?
MT-2 is not a fat-loss compound and we do not present it as one. Reduced appetite is among the commonly reported early effects, which is why the question comes up, but a change in appetite is not the same thing as a demonstrated fat-loss effect, and we will not claim one we cannot source. MT-2 is supplied here for pigmentation research only. If fat loss is what you are researching, our fat-loss page covers the compounds actually studied for it.
Does Melanotan 2 affect testosterone?
We make no claim either way. MT-2 acts on melanocortin receptors, and the erection and libido effects men commonly report are attributed to that pathway rather than to a hormone change. We are not aware of a source we can cite showing a direct effect on testosterone levels, so we do not state one. If you are tracking hormone levels, bloodwork before and after is the only way to answer it for yourself, and that conversation belongs with a clinician.
What about side effects?
Commonly reported effects include nausea and facial flushing in the first hour after administration, reduced appetite, and darkening of existing moles and freckles. Spontaneous erections are a known effect in men, through the same melanocortin pathway. Lower doses are reported to produce less nausea and flushing. The mole-darkening effect is why safety commentary treats documenting moles beforehand as a precondition.
What are the known dangers and risks of Melanotan 2?
The record is a research record, not a safety-cleared one: MT-2 has no large registered human trial, and its use in the general population has been flagged in the literature precisely because it moved ahead of that evidence (Evans-Brown et al., 2009). The documented concerns are darkening of existing moles and freckles, raised blood pressure, and nausea and facial flushing in the first hour; a published case report also links MT-2 to renal infarction (Peters et al., 2020). None of this is a complete safety profile, which is the point: the risks are not fully characterised, so moles are documented and blood pressure is monitored, and anyone with a melanoma history or a cardiovascular condition involves a clinician first.
Is Melanotan 2 available as a nasal spray?
Not here. The published pharmacology of Melanotan 2, including the pilot phase-I study (Dorr et al., 1996), used an injected preparation, and that is the form supplied on this page: a lyophilized 10mg vial reconstituted for subcutaneous research use. Nasal and spray formats are commonly searched for, but MT-2 is not sold here as a nasal spray, and we do not publish administration routes or technique. Any route or dose belongs with a licensed clinician.
What is the half-life of Melanotan 2?
Melanotan 2 was characterised as a cyclic, superpotent analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone in the pilot phase-I study (Dorr et al., 1996), and cyclisation of this kind is generally associated with greater metabolic stability than the linear hormone it is modelled on. What the record does not provide is a precise, trial-established human half-life, because the large pharmacokinetic studies that would fix one were never run. Any specific number quoted for it is an estimate rather than a settled clinical value.
Is the tan from Melanotan 2 permanent?
No. Pigmentation depends on melanin that skin cells make and then shed as the skin renews, so any tanning response fades as that turnover continues and is not permanent. The mechanism the pilot study described is increased melanin synthesis (Dorr et al., 1996), and a light stimulus is still needed to drive it, so results track ongoing UV exposure rather than a one-time change. The exception worth noting is mole and freckle darkening, a documented effect and a reason moles are photographed beforehand, which is also why anyone with a melanoma or atypical-mole history is excluded.
I've never injected before. Is it difficult?
Melanotan 2 is supplied as a subcutaneous research preparation, which is the form the published literature uses. We do not publish administration steps and we do not coach technique. A printed reference guide ships with every order, and technique, sterile handling and any dose belong with a licensed clinician. If you are unsure whether this is something you should be handling at all, that is the conversation to have before ordering, not after.
