Questions

The questions people actually ask.

What is Melanotan I?
A synthetic 13-amino-acid peptide — the same molecule as afamelanotide, the FDA-approved drug Scenesse.
Is this the same as Scenesse?
Same molecule, different product. Scenesse is FDA-approved only for a rare light-sensitivity disorder (EPP), as a subcutaneous implant. This is a separate research vial, not that approved medicine.
What does "Research Use Only" mean?
Research Use Only means exactly that: intended for laboratory and research settings only, not for human or animal use, consumption, diagnosis, treatment, cure, or prevention of any disease.
How is this vial supplied?
As a vial of lyophilised (freeze-dried) powder, sold for laboratory and research use only.
What is your refund policy?
Ninety days from delivery. If you decide against it inside that window, contact hello@getmrpeps.com and we will refund the purchase price. Damaged or incorrect orders are replaced or refunded regardless.
