How large is the pigmentation research on MT-II?+

The direct pigmentation data on this page are early explorations from 1996 with only 3 men, of whom 2 observed increased pigmentation. The small scale and age are insufficient to support statements that "safely and effectively confirmed" tanning.[1] ↗

MT-II(Melanotan 2 Acetate)—these conclusions apply to which study populations?+

3 male volunteers; early Phase I exploratory study in 1996. Very small sample and long time ago; reported drowsiness, fatigue, nausea, etc., cannot be called a confirmed safe tanning regimen.[1] ↗
