About this page

Oxytocin is a naturally occurring neuropeptide produced in the hypothalamus and released by the posterior pituitary. Often called the "love hormone" or "bonding hormone," it plays a central role in social bonding, trust, stress reduction, and sexual satisfaction. Research shows it also has anti-inflammatory and anxiolytic properties.
