Afamelanotide versus the gray market

Telling the approved drug from the tanning powder

This unit confronts the confusion head on. Afamelanotide, Melanotan II, and gray-market "Melanotan I" powder all trace back to the same Arizona research, but they are not the same thing in receptor profile, formulation, evidence, or oversight.

Getting this right is a safety issue, not a pedantic one. A learner who treats the online powder as equivalent to SCENESSE, or who pins Melanotan II's effects on afamelanotide, has been actively misled.
