What is the concentrated percentage of the compound in this product (OxyCalm)? I understand that this drug is by prescription however; if it's at a lower dose can it be sold without one? This compound sounds extremely promising in various areas concerning sex, attitude, personality, sexual bonding, and trusting issues. What is the best product that you could buy out there and what would be a regular diagnosis by a doctor before this is prescribed to you?

Oxytocin

Ok, I must be an idiot because I have never heard of oxytocin being used for vanity reasons. I use to use it all the time on my cats when they were in labor. Why would a human use it other than to speed up contractions during child birth???

It's a pressure center hormone in humans. It has many applications.

From Wikepedia

Oxytocin is a peptide of nine amino acids (a nonapeptide). The sequence is cysteine - tyrosine - isoleucine - glutamine - asparagine - cysteine - proline - leucine - glycine (CYIQNCPLG). The cysteine residues form a sulfur bridge.

The structure of oxytocin is very similar to that of antidiuretic hormone, (also known as vasopressin), which is also a nonapeptide with a sulfur bridge. Oxytocin and antidiuretic hormone are the only known hormones released by the human posterior pituary gland.

Plays some role in orgasm – for both males and females. Oxytocin concentrations in the blood are significantly elevated in both sexes during sexual arousal and orgasm (Carmichael et al 1987). In males, oxytocin is said to facilitate sperm transport in ejaculation.

# Thought to induce pair bonding in people. Plasma concentrations of oxytocin have been reported to be higher amongst people who claim to be falling in love. It is also thought that oxytocin might mediate other forms of pair bonding such as friendship and family relationships as given above. Reduction of sociophobic behavior was shown after treatment with oxytocin. # Nasally-administered oxytocin appears to generate trust in humans. In a 2005 study, it was shown that in a risky investment game, experimental subjects given the hormone displayed what the researchers deemed "the highest level of trust" twice as often as the control group who were given placebos. The same experiment with the subjects told that they were interacting with a computer showed no such reaction, leading to the conclusion that oxytocin was not merely affecting risk-aversion (Kosfeld 2005)

# Nasally-administered oxytocin has been reported to reduce fear in humans and to reduce the activity of the amygdala (which contains a large number of oxytocin receptors and is in general thought to be responsible for fear responses). It is thus possible that oxytocin lowers fear by lowering amygdala activity. (Kirsch 2005)

# Various anti-stress functions: reducing blood pressure and cortisol levels, increasing tolerance to pain, reducing anxiety. Oxytocin may play a role in encouraging "tend and befriend", as opposed to "fight or flight", behavior, in response to stress.

# Oxytocin and oxytocin receptors are also found in the heart, and the hormone appears to play an important role in the embryonal development of the heart by promoting cardiomyocyte differentiation. (Paquin & Danalache 2002, Jankowski 2004)

# According to some studies in animals, oxytocin inhibits the development of tolerance to various addictive drugs (opiates, cocaine, alcohol) and reduces withdrawal symptoms. (Kovacs 1998)

Oxytocin is destroyed in the gastrointestinal tract and is therefore administered by injection or as nasal spray. Oxytocin given intravenously does not enter the brain in significant quantities - it is excluded from the brain by the blood-brain barrier. Drugs administered by nasal spray are thought to have better access to the CNS.

So is this the actual drug or some homopathic preperation? I have seen "GH" spray sold and I'm sure it's not real GH so I'm curious as to the pharmacology of this drug

Since there is only one reference to a man taking this and not a woman I have to ask this question now......if a woman takes it will it still give her uterine contractions no matter what?

I'd say save the oxytocin for post-partum hemmorhage; much like glutamine, it sounds like it's supposed to do a "lot" in theory, but doesn't deliver.
