Performance Profile
- MC1R-Selective Agonism: A linear alpha-MSH analogue that selectively activates MC1R — the receptor specifically responsible for melanin production — with a more targeted receptor profile than Melanotan II.
- Pigmentation Pathway Research: Studied for eumelanin synthesis pathway activity in isolated melanocortin agonism models — without the broader receptor engagement of Melanotan II.
- UV Defence Research: Investigated for effects on eumelanin density and UV radiation absorption in skin tissue models.
Quick Summary
- Best For: Focused MC1R binding research and isolated pigmentation pathway studies.
- Use Case: MC1R agonism without broader central receptor activity — a cleaner model for focused pigmentation pathway research.
- Research Advantage: More targeted receptor profile than Melanotan II — preferred for research specifically focused on the MC1R receptor.

Took a chance on BioPerform after seeing their COA’s. Showed up in two days vial was sealed and powder looked clean. Pretty straightforward. Will order again.
Good product, shipping was quick. Only giving 4 stars because I’d love to see a 5mg option. Purity checked out though and the batch number on the vial matched the certificate on the site.
