Hormonal & Fertility Support · 10mg
Janoshik-tested · 10 vials per kit
Oxytocin is a nonapeptide neuropeptide and neurohormone studied in preclinical and clinical research for its social, bonding, and physiological properties. Research has examined its potential to modulate prosocial behavior, reduce anxiety and stress responses, influence pain perception, support uterine contraction, promote lactation, and regulate inflammatory cytokines. Studies have explored applications in social anxiety, autism spectrum disorder, and bonding research models.

Oxytocin
Posterior Pituitary Nonapeptide
Oxytocin is a 9-amino-acid nonapeptide hormone (Cys-Tyr-Ile-Gln-Asn-Cys-Pro-Leu-Gly-NH2, with a Cys1-Cys6 disulfide bond) synthesised by magnocellular neurons of the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN) and supraoptic nucleus (SON). Released both into peripheral circulation from the posterior pituitary and centrally as a neuromodulator, it plays foundational roles in social bonding, parturition, lactation, and a wide range of metabolic and cardiovascular functions.
Oxytocin acts via Gq-protein-coupled oxytocin receptors (OXTR) expressed in uterus, breast, kidney, heart, and extensively throughout the CNS (amygdala, nucleus accumbens, hypothalamus, brainstem, prefrontal cortex). Centrally, oxytocin modulates the mesolimbic dopamine reward pathway (reducing dependence-like responses), attenuates amygdala reactivity to threat stimuli (reducing social fear and anxiety), and promotes prosocial behaviour through PVN-to-limbic projections. Peripherally it drives uterine contractions (parturition, milk letdown) and exerts direct cardioprotective and anti-inflammatory effects via OXTR on cardiac and immune cells.
Social anxiety and autism spectrum disorder (reduced threat processing in randomised human trials), pair bonding and trust research, stress resilience, metabolic effects (appetite suppression, anti-obesity via hypothalamic OXTR — OXT knockout mice develop late-onset obesity), pain modulation (analgesic via spinal cord OXTR), cardiovascular protection (myocardial infarction models), and addiction research (opioid and alcohol cue-reactivity reduction).
