MELANOTAN I (MT-1) 10MG
Storage Instructions:
All of our products are manufactured using the Lyophilization (Freeze Drying) process, which ensures that our products remain 100% stable for shipping for up to 3-4 months.
Once the peptides are reconstituted (mixed with bacteriostatic water), they must be stored in the fridge to maintain stability. After reconstitution, the peptides will remain stable for up to 30 days.
Lyophilization is a unique dehydration process, also known as cryodesiccation, where the peptides are frozen and then subjected to low pressure. This causes the water in the peptide vial to sublimate directly from solid to gas, leaving behind a stable, crystalline white structure known as lyophilized peptide. The puffy white powder can be stored at room temperature until you’re ready to reconstitute it with bacteriostatic water.
Once peptides have been received, it is imperative that they are kept cold and away from light. If the peptides will be used immediately, or in the next several days, weeks or months, short-term refrigeration under 4C (39F) is generally acceptable. Lyophilized peptides are usually stable at room temperatures for several weeks or more, so if they will be utilized within weeks or months such storage is typically adequate.
However, for longer term storage (several months to years) it is more preferable to store peptides in a freezer at -80C (-112F). When storing peptides for months or even years, freezing is optimal in order to preserve the peptide’s stability.
Melanotan 1 is a synthetic analog of alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH), designed to promote melanin production in the skin. It works by activating melanocortin receptors, leading to gradual, natural-looking tanning without excessive sun exposure.
Unlike Melanotan II, this version is more selective, offering tanning benefits without as many side effects (such as nausea or libido spikes), making it a cleaner option for those seeking skin tone enhancement and UV protection.
Key Benefits:
- ✅ Stimulates melanin production for enhanced skin tanning
- ✅ May reduce risk of sunburn by improving UV tolerance
- ✅ Can support even, natural-looking skin pigmentation
- ✅ Fewer reported side effects than Melanotan II
- ✅ May offer antioxidant and skin-rejuvenating effects
- ✅ Suitable for long-term cosmetic and skin health protocols
Who Should Use Melanotan 1?
Melanotan 1 is ideal for individuals looking for a gradual, safe, and low-effort tan, particularly those with fair skin, sun sensitivity, or high sun exposure. It’s also popular among bodybuilders prepping for shows and individuals focused on skin health and photoprotection.
