Who is it for?

For demanding individuals in advanced aesthetics, athletes conscious of skin health, and those seeking longevity strategies with skin protection. Ideal for those who value scientific innovation, clear protocols, and measurable results.

What is it?

Alpha-MSH is an endogenous peptide derived from proopiomelanocortin (POMC), whose main function is to stimulate melanin synthesis in melanocytes through the activation of melanocortin receptors MC1R, MC3R, and MC4R. It also participates in the regulation of appetite, inflammatory response, and energy homeostasis.

Why does it matter?

Melanin not only provides even pigmentation; it also acts as a biological barrier against UV radiation, helping reduce oxidative stress and photoaging. Moreover, Alpha-MSH is associated with regulatory effects on inflammation, metabolism, and satiety, positioning it as a highly relevant multifunctional peptide.

How does it work?

By binding to melanocortin receptors:

• MC1R (melanocytes): drives eumelanin synthesis → even pigmentation and photoprotection.
• MC4R (CNS): modulates appetite and energy expenditure → support for body composition.
• MC3R / periphery: contributes to inflammatory balance and homeostasis.

What is it used for?

• Skin photoprotection: stimulates melanogenesis, promoting a progressive and longer-lasting tan.
• Aesthetic optimization: improves tone uniformity and reduces the risk of spots from sun exposure.
• Metabolic modulation: influences appetite regulation and energy, useful in body composition protocols.
• Well-being and longevity: anti-inflammatory and antioxidant support for a more balanced physiological state.

Key Benefits

• Melanin stimulation → even tanning and UV protection.
• Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effect → cellular protection and more efficient skin recovery.
• Appetite and metabolism regulation → potential support in weight control and energy strategies.
