New Tanning Pill Safe, Effective

Research from the University of Arizona has found that a pill containing Melanotan-1 (MT-1) increased the rate of tanning, i.e. those taking the pill got a tan much faster than those not taking the pill. COMMENT: the goal is to reduce the incidence of skin cancer. This research sounds promising. The medication currently is not available for public use.
