MT2, or Melanotan II, is a synthetic analog of the naturally occurring hormone alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). It is primarily known for its ability to stimulate melanin production in the skin, leading to tanning, and has also been studied for appetite suppression and sexual function enhancement. MT2 is typically administered via subcutaneous injection. Its use carries potential side effects, including nausea, facial flushing, increased blood pressure, and, in rare cases, darkening of moles or other skin lesions, so medical supervision is recommended.
