What is Melanotan 1, and what is it used for?

Melanotan 1 is also listed and searched as Melanotan I, MT-1, Melanotan 1 peptide. They all mean the same compound. Supplier lists write it as Melanotan 1 peptides or peptide Melanotan 1 as well; every one of those is this record. A name is not a test, which is why the lot record further down counts for more than the wording on a label.

Chemically: molecular formula C78H111N21O19, average mass 1646.8 g/mol (PubChem CID 16197727). Those figures are what the identity test on a certificate is read against.

Class

Afamelanotide, [Nle4, D-Phe7]-alpha-MSH — a linear analogue of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone with two substitutions conferring stability and potency.

Mechanism

Melanocortin receptor agonist with substantially greater selectivity for MC1R than melanotan II. MC1R activation on melanocytes shifts melanin synthesis toward eumelanin.

Where it appears in the literature

Erythropoietic protoporphyria, a photodermatosis. Approved as Scenesse — one of only a small number of compounds on this catalogue with a marketing authorisation.

What is not established

That a research vial under this name is equivalent to the licensed implant. The approved product is a controlled-release subcutaneous implant, which is a different pharmaceutical form entirely.

Melanotan 1 for sale: 10mg vials, price per mg

Melanotan 1 cost, and Melanotan 1 price per mg by size

Melanotan 1 is sold in 1 size here, 10mg, from $40.00 a vial. Melanotan 1 cost starts at that figure for the smallest vial, and the Melanotan 1 price per mg in the second column is the number to compare between sizes. The per-mg column is the honest comparison between sizes; the two tier columns show what ten and twenty vials of one size bill at, because the volume discount is per size and mixed sizes do not combine.

Melanotan I sizes, cost per mg, and what each volume tier bills
Size	One vial	Per mg	10 vials −10%	20 vials −15%	Availability
Melanotan 1 10mg	$40.00	$4.00	$360.00$3.60/mg	$680.00$3.40/mg	Backordered — waitlist

Melanotan 1 discounts: bulk pricing, Subscribe & Save, and codes

Three things move this price and nothing else does: how many vials of one size are on the order, whether that order repeats, and one code. The fourth column prices each route against the 10mg vial.

On-site offer code	5% of the order	Live 30 minutes from when it appears	$38.00 for one vial
Free standard shipping	The shipping charge	Orders over $200	6 vials

The first three stack; the codes do not. A volume discount comes off the line, a subscription cadence comes off that same line from shipment 2, and one code comes off what is left. One code per order, never two. A subscription runs a minimum of two shipments and can be cancelled once the second has shipped, and the first shipment always bills at today's eligible price with no cadence discount on it. The lowest this record ever bills is $3.20 per mg: twenty 10mg vials on a monthly subscription, from shipment 2 onward.

Every figure above is what you pay; nothing is added at checkout — dispatch and delivery work the same on every order.

Where to buy Melanotan 1: five checks before you order from anyone

Where to get Melanotan 1, and how to buy Melanotan 1 online

Melanotan 1 for sale, or Melanotan 1 peptide for sale, means this page: one record, 1 size, a lot certificate for each. You can buy Melanotan 1 online here with guest checkout; verified in-stock orders placed before 12 PM Pacific are dispatched the same day. If the question is where to get Melanotan 1 or how to get Melanotan 1, the answer for a US laboratory is a supplier who publishes the certificate before you pay, which is the first of the five checks below.

Run these on us too. A supplier who cannot pass them is asking you to take their word for it, and their word is the one thing a certificate exists to replace.

Check the certificate on the lab’s own site, not ours.
See whether it was written for the seller.
Match the lot number on the paper to the one on the vial.
Look for a method and a date next to every number.
Make sure identity was tested, not assumed.

Each of those is worked through, with what a failed check actually looks like, on verifying a certificate.

Melanotan 1 nasal spray? What this vial is, and is not

Search results for Melanotan 1 also show nasal spray products, under listing titles such as melanotan 1 nasal spray, buy melanotan 1 nasal spray, melanotan 1 nasal, melanotan 1 nasal spray for sale, melanotan 1 peptide nasal spray, melanotan 1 spray. Those are finished consumer goods made and marketed by other companies, and none of them is what this page sells. This record is freeze-dried Melanotan 1 in a sealed glass vial, 10mg, with a lot certificate, supplied for laboratory work.

The difference matters for the paperwork. A certificate on this page describes the powder in the vial: identity, purity and net content for one lot. It says nothing about a capsule, a spray or a cream, which carry other ingredients and sit under different rules. When a listing elsewhere borrows a lot report to vouch for a different product form, the report does not describe what is being sold.

Melanotan 1 vs Melanotan II: different molecules, separate records

Melanotan 1 vs Melanotan 2, or Melanotan 2 vs Melanotan 1, is the comparison people search most, and they are not the same thing. Each is a different molecule with a different formula, mass and research record, and each has its own certificate here.

The Melanotan 1 certificate: lot, purity, identity, and how to verify it

A certificate answers identity, purity and net content as three separate questions, each with the method that produced it and the date it was run — how to read one covers what each field does and does not cover. For Melanotan 1 that means a mass spectrum landing on 1,646.8 g/mol for C78H111N21O19, the figure published against PubChem CID 16197727.

The certificate below belongs to one lot, and its number matches the one printed on the vial you receive. A real report for a different batch is still the wrong report.

No lot documentation is published for Melanotan I yet. Rather than display a placeholder certificate, this record shows the gap until each field has been verified against the lot in hand. The certificate index lists every lot the moment its report clears.

Is Melanotan 1 a prescription drug? FDA status, and what this listing is

Not an FDA-approved drug product

The FDA has not approved this compound for anything, and nothing in this catalogue is a medicine. Where a compound stands legally depends on what it is, what form it is in, what it is being used for and which country you are in, and it changes over time, so the status shown here carries the date it was last checked.

Status verified 2026-08-25. Regulatory positions move; check the primary source before relying on any summary, including this one.

It is sold here as laboratory material under the research-use restriction that closes this page, which is not an approval, and not a statement that the compound is safe, effective or right for any purpose. LabFirst is not a pharmacy or a compounding facility, this vial is not a compounded medicine, and no prescription is involved, because it is not sold for use in anyone.

Melanotan 1 research: what the published studies examine

Status: No FDA-approved application. This compound is sold as laboratory material. Where research on it has been published, it sits at the animal, cell or early-human stage, and this record does not summarise what it found. A supplier is not a neutral judge of evidence about its own catalogue.

Melanotan I, afamelanotide, is [Nle4, D-Phe7]-alpha-MSH — the native hormone with a norleucine substitution at position 4 and a D-phenylalanine at position 7, changes that confer resistance to degradation and increased potency while keeping the linear structure. The pharmacological distinction from melanotan II, also on this catalogue, is the important one: melanotan II is a cyclic lactam and broadly non-selective across MC1R, MC3R, MC4R and MC5R, whereas afamelanotide is substantially more MC1R-directed.

Since MC1R is the receptor on melanocytes that shifts melanin synthesis toward eumelanin, and MC3R/MC4R are the central receptors responsible for melanotan II's appetite and sexual effects, the two compounds are not interchangeable despite the similar names. Afamelanotide is also, unusually for this catalogue, an approved medicine, licensed on the basis of randomised placebo-controlled trials.

Melanotan I: reported findings and the model each came from
Reported observation	Model	Source
Two multicentre randomised double-blind placebo-controlled trials of subcutaneous implants containing 16 mg of afamelanotide in patients with erythropoietic protoporphyria — 74 patients in the European Union and 94 in the United States, randomised 1:1, with implants every 60 days over 180-day and 270-day study periods. The primary efficacy endpoint was hours of direct sunlight exposure without pain. Adverse events were mostly mild and serious adverse events were not thought to be related to the study drug.	two multicentre randomised double-blind placebo-controlled trials, 168 patients with erythropoietic protoporphyria	Langendonk and colleagues, Afamelanotide for erythropoietic protoporphyria, New England Journal of Medicine (2015)Cited for trial design, population and safety. Efficacy endpoints are not reproduced, consistent with the rest of this catalogue.
Relevant to the melanocortin class generally: in a documented human case, synthetic alpha-MSH administration in a man with a history of melanoma and multiple dysplastic naevi was followed by crops of new pigmented naevi with atypical features, regressing after use stopped. The authors conclude synthetic alpha-MSH peptides can drive proliferation of neoplastic melanocytic cells in predisposed people.	human case report with histopathology	Cardones and Grichnik, alpha-Melanocyte-stimulating hormone-induced eruptive nevi, Archives of Dermatology (2009)A class-level melanocortin signal. It concerns synthetic alpha-MSH generally and is relevant to any MC1R agonist.

Open questions. Afamelanotide has a genuine approval on genuine randomised evidence in a rare and severely disabling photodermatosis, which puts it in a small minority on this catalogue. Three qualifications matter. The licensed product is a controlled-release subcutaneous implant, a pharmaceutical form with defined release kinetics, and a research vial of the peptide is not that product in any meaningful sense. The approved indication is narrow and the trial population was patients with erythropoietic protoporphyria, not people seeking pigmentation.

And the melanocortin class signal applies here as it does to melanotan II: synthetic alpha-MSH peptides can drive proliferation of melanocytic cells in predisposed individuals, which is a mechanism-consistent hazard for any MC1R agonist, even the one with a licence.

Each row above describes an observation in the stated model. None of it describes what Melanotan I would do in a person or an animal outside that model, and none of it is a recommendation to use it for anything.

Questions about Melanotan 1

Where to buy Melanotan 1 Peptide, and can I get it online?

Here, in 1 size, with guest checkout and shipping across the United States. All sizes are on the waitlist at the moment, and typically return within 2 to 3 business days. Each size is tied to its own lot record, and a published certificate can be verified at the issuing laboratory before you order.

How much does Melanotan 1 Peptide cost?

$40.00 for the 10mg vial, and the table above shows cost per mg for each, which is the comparison that transfers between sizes.

What is the cheapest way to buy Melanotan 1 Peptide?

Twenty vials of one size on a monthly subscription. Ten to nineteen vials of a single size take 10% off and twenty take 15%, and mixed sizes do not combine toward either. A subscription then takes a further 6% monthly, 4% every two months or 2% every three, never on the first shipment and always from shipment 2 onward. One discount code comes off whatever is left, one code per order. On the 10mg vial that is $40.00 once, $34.00 a vial at twenty, and $3.20 per mg on recurring shipments. Standard shipping is free over $200, which 6 of the 10mg vials reach.

What is the FDA approval status of Melanotan 1?

Not an FDA-approved drug product. The FDA has not approved this compound for anything, and nothing in this catalogue is a medicine. That is the position as at 2026-08-25, which is when it was last checked against the agency's own sources — approval status moves, and a date is the only thing that makes a status claim checkable. Being sold here for laboratory work is not an approval and not a safety claim.

What is Melanotan I used for?

In the published research, Erythropoietic protoporphyria, a photodermatosis. That a research vial under this name is equivalent to the licensed implant. The approved product is a controlled-release subcutaneous implant, which is a different pharmaceutical form entirely. This record sells it for laboratory work and says nothing about use in a person or an animal.

Is Melanotan I legal?

Whether Melanotan I is legal depends on what it is being used for and where. It is sold here as laboratory material under a research-use restriction. Its FDA position: not an fda-approved drug product, status checked 2026-08-25. Being listed is not an approval and not a safety claim.

Is Melanotan I available here as capsules, tablets or a nasal spray?

No. This record is freeze-dried Melanotan I in a sealed vial, supplied for laboratory work with a certificate for the lot. Capsules, tablets, sprays and creams are consumer products made by other companies, and a certificate for this lot does not describe any of them.

What is the difference between Melanotan I and Melanotan II?

Melanotan I and Melanotan II are different molecules. Melanotan I: Afamelanotide, [Nle4, D-Phe7]-alpha-MSH — a linear analogue of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone with two substitutions conferring stability and potency. Melanotan II: A man-made ring-shaped peptide seven building blocks long that switches on melanocortin receptors indiscriminately. Each has its own formula, its own record on this site and its own certificate; a lot report for one says nothing about the other.

How does Melanotan 1 work, and what does it do?

At the level the published literature describes it, melanocortin receptor agonist with substantially greater selectivity for MC1R than melanotan II. That a research vial under this name is equivalent to the licensed implant. The approved product is a controlled-release subcutaneous implant, which is a different pharmaceutical form entirely. This record sells it for laboratory work and says nothing about use in a person or an animal.

What does Melanotan 1 peptide do?

Is Melanotan 1 fda approved?

Not an FDA-approved drug product. The FDA has not approved this compound for anything, and nothing in this catalogue is a medicine. Status checked 2026-08-25. Being sold here for laboratory work is not an approval and not a safety claim.

How do I verify the certificate of analysis is real?

Check it at the issuing laboratory rather than with the seller: the report carries a verification key or QR that resolves on the laboratory's own site, and one with the key stripped out is worthless however it looks. Reading a certificate covers the rest. For Melanotan 1 the identity result should land on 1,646.8 g/mol for C78H111N21O19; a report whose mass is not that is either a different compound or a different form of it.
