UK Launch · The Ped Shop Exclusive

A new name in research peptides, landing in the UK

SerenQ Pharmaceuticals builds research peptides into sealed, pre-filled injection pens rather than lyophilised vials. No reconstitution, no bacteriostatic water, no guesswork with a syringe barrel. Dial the units you need, read them off the window, done.

SerenQ has appointed

The Ped Shop as its exclusive UK stockist

. Every pen sold here comes direct from the manufacturer, in sealed retail cartons, with a unique serial number and QR authenticity code on the label.

About Melanotan-1

Melanotan-1, also called afamelanotide, is a 13 amino acid analogue of alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone. It differs from the natural hormone at two positions, which is enough to make it far more resistant to enzymatic breakdown while leaving its receptor behaviour largely intact.

It is a licensed medicine in Europe and the United States under the brand name Scenesse, an implant used to prevent phototoxic reactions in erythropoietic protoporphyria. That approval is for a rare photosensitivity disorder, not for cosmetic tanning, and the implant is a different product from the material supplied here.

Where the evidence sits:

afamelanotide has completed human trials and holds a European and US licence for one rare disease, so its pharmacology and its pigmentation effect are established. That licence does not extend to cosmetic use, and the long term consequences of driving melanogenesis in people without that disorder have not been characterised. Existing moles darkening is a documented effect.

The pen format

Melanotan-1 has a shorter half life than MT2 and the loading protocols in the literature are daily, so a 300 unit pen with 50mcg steps is a considerably better fit than reconstituting a vial every few days.

15.00mg of Melanotan-1

per pen, in solution and ready to use

1 unit = 50mcg.

10 units on the dial gives 500mcg

300 units in total

, which works out at 30 full 500mcg draws per pen

Choosing between Melanotan-1, MT2 and the nasal spray

This decision is almost entirely about side effects.

MT2

is cheaper, more potent for pigmentation, and hits MC3R and MC4R as well as MC1R, which is why nausea, flushing, appetite suppression and spontaneous erections show up so consistently in MT2 reports. Melanotan-1 is the selective one: slower and more expensive per tan, with far less of that.

If the extra receptor activity is unwanted, Melanotan-1 is the reason to pay more. If it is wanted, or tolerated, MT2 does the job for less. The

nasal spray

is a third route with lower and less predictable absorption, which some people prefer specifically because it blunts the intensity of the first few doses.
