Melanotan 2 5 mg

Dragon Pharma Melanotan 2 5 mg

For athletes, bodybuilders, and fitness enthusiasts who value aesthetics alongside performance, achieving a natural-looking tan without excessive UV exposure is a significant advantage. Melanotan 2 (MT2) is a synthetic analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) that stimulates melanogenesis, producing a deep, natural tan while also offering additional research applications related to libido and appetite regulation. This Dragon Pharma Melanotan 2 5mg offering delivers high-purity lyophilized powder in a sterile 2mL vial, providing researchers with a convenient lower-dose option for investigating melanocortin receptor pathways, pigmentation, and sexual function.

Melanotan 2 functions as a non-selective melanocortin receptor agonist, primarily targeting MC1R (melanocortin 1 receptor) to stimulate melanin production in melanocytes, resulting in UV-independent tanning. It also exhibits affinity for MC3R and MC4R, which are involved in appetite regulation, and MC4R, which plays a role in erectile function and libido. Research published in the NIH PubMed database demonstrates that Melanotan 2 effectively induces melanogenesis with significantly reduced UV exposure time, while also showing potential in research models for sexual dysfunction and metabolic regulation.

The relevance of Melanotan 2 to the bodybuilding and fitness community extends beyond aesthetics. A deep, even tan enhances muscle definition on stage and in photos, making it a valuable tool for competitors. Additionally, the compound's effects on libido—mediated through MC4R activation—can be beneficial for athletes whose sexual function may be impacted by intense training cycles or post-cycle hormonal fluctuations. The 5mg vial offers a practical starting point for research protocols requiring lower total peptide quantities or for researchers who prefer to begin with smaller batch sizes.

Quality assurance is paramount in peptide research. Each batch of our 2 5 mg inventory undergoes rigorous third-party HPLC-MS testing to verify purity and dosage. The most recent batch (April 2025) tested at 5.56 mg—exceeding the label claim—with batch number #MLNHD3. This level of transparency and quality control ensures that researchers can trust the integrity of the compounds they are investigating.

For bodybuilders and fitness enthusiasts preparing for competition or seeking aesthetic enhancement, Melanotan 2 offers a sophisticated research tool. Its ability to produce a natural tan with minimal UV exposure reduces the skin damage associated with prolonged sunbathing or tanning bed use. The 5mg vial size is ideal for shorter research protocols or for researchers who prefer to work with smaller quantities. Whether investigating strategies for optimal pigmentation, libido enhancement, or melanocortin receptor modulation, Dragon Pharma's Melanotan 2 delivers the purity, potency, and reliability required for serious research.

Product Specifications

Usage Guidelines

Melanotan 2 is supplied as a sterile lyophilized powder and must be reconstituted with bacteriostatic water prior to research use. For optimal stability, gently swirl the vial after adding the diluent—do not shake vigorously. Standard research protocols involve reconstituting the 5mg peptide with 1-2mL of bacteriostatic water, yielding a concentration of 2.5-5mg/mL. Typical research dosing for pigmentation studies begins with low loading doses (100-250mcg) to assess tolerance, followed by maintenance dosing (250-500mcg) 1-3 times weekly. UV exposure (natural sunlight or tanning beds) is typically incorporated to optimize melanogenesis. It is recommended to store the reconstituted peptide in a refrigerator (2-8°C) and use within 30 days to maintain peptide integrity. Protect from light during storage.

For researchers investigating comprehensive aesthetic and wellness protocols, combining Melanotan 2 with complementary compounds can yield synergistic insights. Consider exploring the following Dragon Pharma products to enhance your research:

Storage Instructions

To maintain maximum stability and potency of the lyophilized powder, store the unopened vial in a freezer at -20°C (-4°F) away from light. Upon reconstitution with bacteriostatic water, the solution must be stored in a refrigerator at 2-8°C (36-46°F) and should be used within 30 days. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles as this may degrade the peptide structure. Protect from light during storage.
