MT1 Body Composition
-
"MT-1 (Melanotan-1 or afamelanotide) is a synthetic analog of the naturally occurring α-MSH hormone. By binding to the MC1R receptor, it stimulates eumelanin production, which darkens the skin and provides photoprotection against UV radiation. It is primarily studied for promoting sunless tanning and treating rare conditions like erythropoietic protoporphyria.Key CharacteristicsMechanism: Binds to melanocortin receptors (mainly MC1R) to trigger melanin synthesis.Research Applications: Used in clinical and analytical settings to investigate peptide-receptor interactions and cellular responses to UV exposure.Structure: A modified 13-amino-acid peptide designed to overcome the short half-life of natural α-MSH.Common ConsiderationsReported Effects: Studies and anecdotal reports frequently cite facial flushing, nausea, and increased libido.Pigmentation: It can cause darkening of existing moles or freckles, and general uneven pigmentation changes.Safety: Use without medical supervision carries significant health and quality risks. It is contraindicated for individuals with a history of melanoma or skin cancer."

The only body composition was that nice tan highlighting your best features my brother.
Sounds like one of the GLP or Tesa if you got lucky. lol@EXTROPIAN it most definitely did the job on the tan…

@boogiescoffer I am in the same boat, man. Good tanning with MT1 (only under the sunlight, not like with MT2), but a good appetite suppression and visible fat loss too. Don't worry, if it's not described or not theoretically explained (yet) doesn't mean it's not real or possible.

Maybe this falls under 'if you can't tone it, tan it'...where the tan is making the body comp look better! HAHA!
@hunt_ak some of that for sure. But I’m talking belt loops down…

@gym.rat well, I’m not lying, but thanks for that. Question: would MT2 deliver relatively even color without UV, or would it result in “tan lines” where color ONLY developed where exposed to UV?
-
I get tan lines (Bad) on MT2. Also MT2 with get your flush really quick. I can’t take more than 50mcg without feeling like my face is on fire. If I take 50mcg everyday for a week I can go up to 75mcg.
But there is a huge difference between MT1 and MT2 - Boners from nowhere…. -
1, 2, or neither?

This is one pep I'm afraid of, having had skin cancer (now almost 6 years cancer free). I won't risk it to be tan.

@Commander really? Im assuming you mean skin and not shin but if its shin I didn't even know that was a cancer sight but anything is possible.
Everything Ive seen has warned about skin cancer from MT2. Id be interested to learn more about its original development -

University of Arizona. Everything I have read suggests MT2 is much riskier.

@boogiescoffer did you experience flushing?

A little bit, but not much. Some nausea, but temporary and not terrible. No boners or libido effects.
