Thread: 10 Reasons Why Oxytocin Is The Most Amazing Molecule In The World

Order in I will let you brothers know when it lands and how it goes.

Does anyone have anymore information on this? Like does it need to stay cold? Everything I have read about it lately is all about the woman and her pregnancy also I see this at Vet supplies for hecka cheap is it the same thing?

Let us know for sure Mick I am wanting to see how it works before I pull the trigger. So if you get on here and start telling us that you love us in so many different ways, then I will know its working,lol.

I keep mine refrigerated...

Okay, so I have a vial of oxytocin that's been sitting unreconstituted in my refrigerator from a year ago. Lately my hamstrings, lower back, and legs in general have felt very stiff and a dry. Tonight I trained legs and it was a very painful ordeal. I'n ust glad I completed all 7 exercises without getting injured.
This thread made me curious to see if oxytocin would help heal my legs.
After getting home from the gym I took 50mcg oxytocin subcutaneously. I feel so very relaxed and at peace right now. I've really been stressed lately and full of anxiety which has caused general depression. I actually feel at peace right now and have a smile on my face which is rare lately.
The study I found says oxytocin given subcutaneously to mice healed injured muscle very quickly, and renews old muscle tissue. Here is part of this abstract:
Oxytocin stimulates muscle stem cells to divide when muscle is damaged, researchers report June 10 in Nature Communications. Experiments with mice also showed that the hormone’s levels in the animals’ blood declines with age. Giving old mice shots of oxytocin restored their muscle-regeneration capabilities to match those of much younger rodents.

Oxytocin is an age-specific circulating hormone that is necessary for muscle maintenance and regeneration.

Abstract

The regenerative capacity of skeletal muscle declines with age. Previous studies suggest that this process can be reversed by exposure to young circulation; however, systemic age-specific factors responsible for this phenomenon are largely unknown. Here we report that oxytocin--a hormone best known for its role in lactation, parturition and social behaviours--is required for proper muscle tissue regeneration and homeostasis, and that plasma levels of oxytocin decline with age. Inhibition of oxytocin signalling in young animals reduces muscle regeneration, whereas systemic administration of oxytocin rapidly improves muscle regeneration by enhancing aged muscle stem cell activation/proliferation through activation of the MAPK/ERK signalling pathway. We further show that the genetic lack of oxytocin does not cause a developmental defect in muscle but instead leads to premature sarcopenia. Considering that oxytocin is an FDA-approved drug, this work reveals a potential novel and safe way to combat or prevent skeletal muscle ageing.

Last night I trained back then came home had a protein drink and decided to try a high dose of oxytocin at 70mcg. At this dose I started getting a strong flush and then my body started heating up. The heat kept increasing for a few minutes which was intense. I can't believe what a difference a little higher dose makes. After 5 minutes or so the temp stabilized. It left me feeling a nice body fry and very very relaxed. I tried to throw a movie on but it was sleep time within 10 minutes of the oxytocin injection. I like the way oxytocin makes all the stress of the day fade away. I also notice increased genital sensitivity, and increased sex drive. There is definitly an antidepressant effect from oxytocin. I notice I have felt much happier the following day after the injection.

Last night I upped my post workout dose of oxytocin to 80mcg. This dose is awfully high. The flushing feeling was very intense. I had my post workout protein drink and relaxed with a movie on for an hour before falling asleep. I'm really starting to like oxytocin as a means of relaxing after the gym. My sleep has been better as well. I seem to wake up more rested than I was when I was using melatonin before bed.

For women during pregnancy the take either IM or IV but on the forums guys are taking it sub q?

I'm taking it subQ like the way they administered it to mice in the study on turning old muscle back into new muscle. It has helped my sleep a lot. It really gets rid of stress and relaxes me.
