OXYTOCIN

250.00 AED — In stock

Oxytocin is a naturally occurring peptide hormone often referred to as the “bonding” or “love hormone.” It plays a central role in social bonding, trust, emotional regulation, and stress response modulation. While best known for its effects in childbirth and lactation, oxytocin is widely studied in human research for its impact on mood, social behavior, stress regulation, and emotional resilience. By influencing neural pathways involved in trust, empathy, relaxation, and stress balance, oxytocin is explored in wellness and longevity research as a peptide that supports emotional well-being, social connection, and adaptive stress responses.

What is OXYTOCIN?

Oxytocin is a natural nine amino acid peptide hormone. It is made in the hypothalamus and released from the posterior pituitary. Two cysteines in its chain are joined by a disulfide bridge, which forms a small ring.

Oxytocin acts on oxytocin receptors throughout the body. It is best known for its roles in childbirth and breastfeeding. It also acts in the brain, where it is thought to be involved in social behaviour, bonding and stress responses. Synthetic oxytocin has the same sequence as the natural hormone.

Also known as: Pitocin, Syntocinon, OT

What the research covers

Oxytocin's role in labour is well established through clinical use. Its effects on mood and behaviour have been studied in many small human trials, often using a nasal spray. An early study reported that intranasal oxytocin increased trust in an economic game. Later research has looked at anxiety, social cognition and autism, with mixed results, and some early findings have not been consistently replicated. Oxytocin is approved by the US FDA as Pitocin injection for obstetric use. Its use for mood or social behaviour is not approved.

Frequently asked questions

What does the research on oxytocin show?

Oxytocin is well established in childbirth. Research on mood and social behaviour, mostly using nasal sprays, is mixed, and some early findings have not been consistently replicated.

How is the nasal spray different from the injectable?

The nasal spray is the form used in most mood and behaviour research. Injections act mainly in the body rather than the brain. Your GP will advise which format suits you.

Are there side effects with Oxytocin?

Side effects can occur. Your GP will review your health, medication and, where relevant, blood results before prescribing, and you should report anything unexpected.

Which formats are available and how should I store them?

Oxytocin is available as: vial (injectable), nasal spray. Your GP will help you choose the most suitable format. Keep unopened lyophilised vials cool and dry, away from light. After reconstitution, refrigerate at 2-8C, protect from light and do not freeze. Refrigerate the nasal spray after opening unless your pharmacy label says otherwise. Follow the storage instructions on your pharmacy label.

How much Oxytocin should I take?

Your dose is set by our licensed GP following a consultation, and printed on your pharmacy label.
