Where to Buy Melanotan 1 (MT1) in the UK
Melanotan 1 (MT1, Afamelanotide) is a linear α-MSH analogue with MC1R selectivity, frequently referenced in pigmentation and photoprotection research. UK researchers sourcing MT1 should look for verifiable third-party COA data and UK cold-chain handling. This guide explains what Melanotan 1 is, what to check when sourcing it in the UK, and where you can buy independently lab-tested MT1 from UK Peptide Lab.
What is Melanotan 1?
Melanotan 1 (Afamelanotide) is a 13-amino-acid linear analogue of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). Research has examined its agonist activity at melanocortin receptors, with a primary focus on MC1R-mediated effects on melanogenesis. It is distinguished from Melanotan II by its linear (rather than cyclic) structure and greater selectivity for MC1R. Melanotan 1 is supplied as a lyophilised powder for in-vitro laboratory research only, not for human or veterinary use.
Published research on Afamelanotide is indexed on PubMed.
