# What is Melanotan 2 peptide?

Melanotan 2 is a cyclic synthetic analogue of alpha-MSH studied in melanocortin-receptor research. It is sold by Sable Peptides strictly for in-vitro research use, from £12.49 for 10 mg, with a Certificate of Analysis for every lot, a printed lot number on each vial and next-day UK delivery. It is not a medicine.

## What it is

Melanotan 2 is a cyclic synthetic analogue of alpha-MSH studied in melanocortin-receptor research. Reference data: CAS 121062-08-6.

Sizes and prices at Sable (checked 2026-10-15): 5 mg (£12.98), 10 mg (£12.49). Supplied as a lyophilised (freeze-dried) powder in a sealed vial.

## How prices are checked

we compare our price daily against genuine, established UK suppliers only (not marketplaces or unverifiable listings) and guarantee the lowest UK price. If you find a lower like-for-like price from such a supplier, we match it. In our 10 October 2026 snapshot of 13 UK-facing retailers, the median list price for 10 mg was £24.95 (range £12.49 to £39.00); Sable listed it at £12.49. Method and seller types are explained on the pricing methodology page.

## Documentation

Every lot has its own Certificate of Analysis and every vial carries a printed lot number, so the paperwork matches the vial. You can request the CoA for the lot you will receive before you order. A useful CoA names the lot, the test method (usually HPLC for purity and mass spectrometry for identity), the result and the date.

## Ordering

we have operated since 2019, ship next-day across the UK, and take payment by Pay by Bank via Wallid. Research materials can't be returned, but anything faulty or damaged in transit is refunded or replaced.

## Research use only

Melanotan 2 is sold for in-vitro laboratory research. It is not a medicine, is not for human or animal use, and nothing here is advice on use.
