What are melanocortin peptides?
Melanocortin peptides are a research grouping of compounds studied for their interaction with the melanocortin family of receptors. Kovalabs lists this group as a laboratory reference category only: it names the compounds that appear in the published melanocortin-receptor literature, it does not describe a use, an effect or an outcome. The members supplied as research materials are Melanotan-1, Melanotan-2 and PT-141. Each is a separate molecule with its own structure and reference data; they are not interchangeable and none is offered for any application in people.
What does the research investigate?
These compounds appear in the published melanocortin-receptor research literature in pre-clinical and in-vitro models. None of that work establishes a benefit, effect or outcome in humans; nothing here is a medical claim and none of these materials is a licensed medicine. Kovalabs makes no representation about tanning, skin or pigmentation, and no representation about sexual or related function: those are not uses we describe, claim or supply for. Two members correspond to compounds that exist as licensed medicines under other names (afamelanotide and bremelanotide); the materials sold here are research-grade reference items and are not the medicine, a generic or a treatment.
Are melanocortin peptides legal in the UK?
The compounds in this group are not controlled drugs under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971. They are supplied strictly as research-use-only laboratory reference materials and are not for human or veterinary consumption, administration or ingestion. They are not foods, cosmetics or medicines and are not approved for any use in people. The buyer is responsible for handling these materials lawfully and in line with all applicable regulations. See our research disclaimer for the full terms.
How does Kovalabs assure quality?
Every batch in this category ships with a per-batch Certificate of Analysis confirming identity and a purity specification of 99% by HPLC, so each lot can be verified against its own analytical record. Orders are despatched from the UK. You can review the documentation for a given lot on our Certificates of Analysis page, which is the correct way to confirm the identity and purity of any compound before use in a laboratory setting.

Common questions
- What are melanocortin peptides?
- Melanocortin peptides are a research grouping of compounds studied for their interaction with the melanocortin family of receptors. Kovalabs uses the name as a laboratory reference label for the molecules that appear in that published literature. It is not a benefit Kovalabs claims and not a use we describe. Every item is supplied as a research-use-only reference material.
- Which compounds are in the melanocortin peptides category?
- This category groups three research materials: Melanotan-1, Melanotan-2 and PT-141. Each links to its own product page with structure and reference data. They are distinct molecules, not interchangeable, and none is presented as suitable for any specific goal or for use in people.
- Are melanocortin peptides legal to buy in the UK?
- The compounds in this group are not controlled drugs under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971. Kovalabs supplies them strictly as research-use-only laboratory reference materials, not as medicines, cosmetics or foods. The buyer is responsible for handling them lawfully and in line with all applicable regulations.
- Are these melanocortin peptides for human use?
- No. None of these materials is for human or veterinary consumption, administration or ingestion. They are laboratory reference materials supplied for research use only and are not approved for any use in people. Kovalabs makes no claim about tanning, pigmentation, sexual function or any other outcome in humans.
- How is the quality of melanocortin peptides assured?
- Each batch ships with a per-batch Certificate of Analysis and a purity specification of 99% by HPLC, and orders are despatched from the UK. Documentation for a given lot is available on the Certificates of Analysis page, which is the correct way to verify identity and purity before any laboratory use.
- What is the difference between Melanotan-1 and Melanotan-2?
- Melanotan-1 and Melanotan-2 are two different molecules with distinct structures, sequences and reference data, listed in the melanocortin-receptor research literature as separate compounds. Kovalabs does not present one as preferable to the other or for any goal. Compare the analytical detail on each product page to confirm which compound you are sourcing.
- Is PT-141 the same as the medicine bremelanotide?
- PT-141 corresponds to a compound that also exists as a licensed medicine under another name. The item Kovalabs supplies is a research-grade reference material, not the medicine, a generic or a treatment, and it is not offered for any use in people. See its product page for the reference data and per-batch documentation.
- How do I confirm the identity of a melanocortin compound before using it?
- Check the per-batch Certificate of Analysis for the specific lot, which states the identity and the 99% HPLC purity figure for that batch. Each product page also carries the molecular reference data so the material can be cross-checked. The Certificates of Analysis page is the central place to review this documentation.
- Does PT-141 correspond to a licensed medicine?
- PT-141 corresponds to a compound that also exists as a licensed medicine under another name. The item Kovalabs supplies is a research-grade reference material, not the medicine, a generic or a treatment, and it is not offered for any use in people. See its product page for the reference data and per-batch documentation.
