Is there a Melanotan II trial?
A registry record describes adding it to light treatment for vitiligo, but its own description calls it an example record. We can’t treat that as a verified trial.

What the human studies found
- Sold online as a tanning injection.
- We found five ClinicalTrials.gov records naming the same sponsor and a hospital in Shenzhen. They cover BPC-157, TB-500, GHK-copper, MOTS-c and Melanotan II.
- This one describes adding Melanotan II to light treatment for vitiligo, a condition that causes patches of skin to lose color. Its own description calls it an example record.
- These records are sponsor-submitted. As of October 2, 2026, none had results posted. Registration alone doesn’t mean a study has finished, or that its treatment worked.
- An estimated date for collecting the main data isn’t a promise that results will be published that day.

We checked the human research behind 16 peptides. The question wasn’t just “is there a study?” It was “does that study support the pitch?” For each one: who took part, what was measured, and what actually changed.
