What is the difference between melanotan 1 and melanotan 2?
Melanotan I (afamelanotide) is FDA approved as Scenesse for one rare disorder that makes skin extremely sensitive to light, given as a slow-release implant. Melanotan II was never approved for anything. It is sold only as a research chemical, is banned from supply in Australia, and its own research flags safety concerns. They are related molecules from the same discovery program, but one became an approved medicine and the other did not.
