The Peptide Center uses an evidence-first editorial process: regulatory sources, trial registries, and peer-reviewed research take priority; uncertainty is stated rather than filled with promises.
Melanotan II is not an FDA-approved drug. FDA has issued consumer warnings that it is unapproved and potentially dangerous, citing serious side effects including cardiovascular and gastrointestinal events. Products sold online as "Melanotan II" or "MT-2" have not undergone FDA review for safety, effectiveness, or quality.
