What researchers mean by Melanotan I

Afamelanotide (sometimes discussed as Melanotan I) is a melanocortin analog. A regulated branded product (Scenesse) is approved for particular medical indications. Research-chemical “Melanotan I” listings are not that medicine.

Laboratory & catalog context

Never assume a research vial equals an approved implant/medicine. Compare sellers on documentation quality only.
