Hi Ladies,

Did any of you see the news today about Oxytocin?  (not oxicodone) It is used for  a number of things. It's a hormone stored in the hypothalmus (sp) sexual part  of the brain. It's released after sex in both men and women.

In checking it out today, it appears there are products out there with Oxytocin designed to  increase mojo. Today they found promising evidence that it also might be helpful in children with autism.

Has anyone heard of this or know anything about it?

    It's also what stimulates labor (the drug used to induce labor is pitocin, synthetic oxytocin) and is released when nursing a baby.

    I would be extremely careful of anything hormonal without carefully checking.
