Melanotan II is an analog of the peptide a-MSH and they both cause a tanning/darkening effect in the skin. They were inadvertently developed at the University of Arizona during research into skin cancer. Melanotan research has been ongoing at the University of Arizona since the mid 1980's. Melanotan is expected to be used in the future as a drug to combat the major health epidemic of melanoma (skin cancer) . Scientists found it to be effective by stimulating subjects' natural tanning mechanism and to create a tan without first needing exposure to harmful levels of UV radiation. This allows people to obtain a tan and reduce skin damage that can potentially cause cancer of the skin. Additionally, Melanotan II was found to cause increased libido and sexual function. Melanotan II gives you a nice even tan, and lasts as long as a "normal" tan, based on how dark you get. The pro-sexual effects are also very pronounced, and you can definitely expect to experience more erections, on the level of a decently dosed cycle of testosterone.
