Oxytocin
Oxytocin is a powerful “bonding/love” hormone that acts as a neurotransmitter in the brain, influencing behaviors such as empathy, generosity, and orgasm.
There is evidence to suggest that oxytocin may have a positive effect on erectile function. Studies show that oxytocin positively impacted a number of components of sexual function, including libido, erection, and orgasm, and was well tolerated.
Dose: 1 spray (40 IU) in one nostril 30-60 minutes before intercourse. May also be used daily as needed for anxiety.

How Oxytocin Works

It is well known for its role in childbirth and lactation, but it also acts as a central neuromodulator involved in social bonding, trust, intimacy, emotional connection, and arousal. As a compounded sexual-wellness therapy it is most commonly delivered via troche (dissolvable tablet), nasal spray, or sublingual route.
