Alright, you guys asked for it let's talk about Melanotan 1 (MT1), also known as Afamelanotide. This is MT2's less famous sibling, and honestly, it might be the smarter choice for most people who just want a tan. RESEARCH and EDUCATION PURPOSES ONLY, NOT MEDICAL ADVICE. What MT1 Actually Is Melanotan 1 is a synthetic analog of alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH), just like MT2. Both were developed at the University of Arizona in the same research program. The key difference? MT1 is a LINEAR peptide while MT2 is CYCLIC. That structural difference matters. A lot. MT1 is what we call a "selective" melanocortin receptor agonist. It primarily hits MC1R - the receptor responsible for melanin production. It has minimal activity at MC3R, MC4R, and MC5R compared to MT2. Translation: MT1 gives you the tanning effect without most of the other effects that come with MT2. MT1 vs MT2: The Key Differences MT1 (Afamelanotide): - Selective MC1R agonist - Primarily tanning effects - Minimal appetite suppression - Minimal sexual effects - Generally better side effect profile - Shorter half-life (requires more frequent dosing) - Actually FDA approved in Europe and Australia for specific conditions - More expensive per dose MT2: - Non-selective melanocortin agonist - Tanning + appetite suppression + sexual effects - More side effects (nausea, flushing) - Longer half-life (less frequent dosing) - Not FDA approved anywhere - Cheaper per dose - More "bang for your buck" if you want multiple effects The Effects People Actually Experience Tanning: This is what MT1 does, and it does it well. You'll notice gradual darkening of skin, darkening of existing moles and freckles, and a more even tan compared to UV exposure alone. The effect builds over time and is dose-dependent. What You WON'T Get: - Significant appetite suppression (maybe very mild, but nothing like MT2) - Sexual effects (minimal to none) - The intense nausea that MT2 can cause

Hey everyone — quick heads up as we approach Christmas! With the surge of holiday orders flooding FedEx and UPS, plus carriers operating with reduced staff, you can expect your packages to arrive 1-3 days later than usual. What this means: A typical 2-3 day ship time might realistically be 5-7 days depending on your location and carrier volume. Please be patient — once research companies drop off your package for shipping, it's completely out of their hands. They can't control carrier delays during this time. Plan accordingly and order early if you need something before the holidays! As always, compare prices and check stock at https://peptideprice.store Thanks for understanding! 🙏

Hey so I’m still pretty new to peptides and this world. I am currently taking tirzepatide and am in calorie deficit. Is it worth adding cjc and ipam to my routine? If so what is the typical timeline to see benefits, or when does it begin to help with muscle preservation during a deficit.
