Peptide of the Week: Melanotan I & II – Tanning, Libido & Skin Protection

Welcome back, warriors! In this episode of Peptide of the Week, JD Denham and William T. Haas break down the differences between Melanotan I and Melanotan II. Two peptides that go beyond just sunless tanning. From aesthetics to sexual health and UV protection, these compounds have gained massive attention for good reason.

Originally studied for skin cancer prevention, both peptides mimic alpha-MSH (melanocyte-stimulating hormone) stimulating melanin production, darkening skin safely, and even helping regulate appetite, energy, and libido. But while they share a similar root, their effects and applications are very different.

We cover:

🌞 The difference between Melanotan I and Melanotan II

⚠️ What to expect with MT-2: flushing, random erections, and darkened moles

🧬 Why MT-1 is preferred for therapeutic and medical use (especially in clinics)

🧠 The role of MSH in skin, brain, immune, and sexual health

📆 Maintenance protocols once desired skin tone is achieved

💡 Whether you're looking for an aesthetic edge, sun protection, or added benefits in the bedroom Melanotan I and II offer science-backed results when used smart and slow.
