what is melanotan i?
Melanotan I, also known as afamelanotide, is a synthetic linear tridecapeptide and a structural analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH), the endogenous ligand of the melanocortin receptor family. Substitutions to the native alpha-MSH sequence give the analog greater resistance to enzymatic degradation, which is why it is frequently selected as a stable reference ligand in melanocortin-pathway research.
In the laboratory, Melanotan I is studied as a melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R) agonist model, including work on receptor binding and selectivity, cAMP second-messenger signaling, and melanogenesis in cultured melanocyte and cell-line systems. Verve manufactures Melanotan I in the United States, screens every batch by HPLC to a 99%+ purity standard, and publishes a batch-level certificate of analysis so results can be traced to an exact lot.

purity, testing & COA
Every batch of verve Melanotan I is synthesized and vial-filled in the United States and screened by an independent, accredited laboratory for identity, purity, and contaminants, with analysis by HPLC and, where appropriate, mass spectrometry. Products are manufactured to a 99%+ purity standard where stated, and an endotoxin-tested option is available for many compounds.
That lab report is the certificate of analysis. Match the batch code printed on your vial to the row in our COA library and you're reading the exact report for the exact vial in your hand. Every order includes a free downloadable COA, damage protection in transit, and full US tracking. Orders placed Monday–Friday ship by 2pm CT, free over $100.
