The Versatility of Oxytocin in Health
Oxytocin is a peptide hormone and neuropeptide that is produced in the hypothalamus. A growing body of evidence points to its usefulness in a variety of clinical applications including pain management, social bonding, sexual function, and psychiatric conditions.
Route of Administration:
Oxytocin is quickly degraded in the GI tract; therefore, oral use is NOT an option.
Pain
Compounded oxytocin has shown promise in managing pain, as it may help reduce discomfort by interacting with the body’s natural pain-relief pathways.
Lactation
Compounded oxytocin is prescribed to support lactation in new mothers, playing a key role in stimulating milk ejection and enhancing the bonding experience.
Migraines
By reducing stress-related triggers and releasing natural endorphins, oxytocin may ease the tension and inflammation associated with migraine pain.
Sexual Dysfunction
Oxytocin may enhance feelings of intimacy, arousal, and emotional connection by stimulating natural bonding and pleasure responses in the brain.
Vaginal Atrophy
Oxytocin supports blood flow and tissue repair in the vaginal area, potentially enhancing moisture and reducing discomfort.
