Scientific Evidence

Oxitocin, a peptide hormone, acts primarily as a neuromodulator in the brain. It plays a crucial role in social bonding, maternal behavior, and the regulation of emotions. Research has shown that Oxitocin may have potential therapeutic effects in conditions such as autism spectrum disorders, anxiety, and depression.

Clinical trials have demonstrated the efficacy of Oxitocin in improving social cognition and reducing stress responses. A study by MacDonald et al. (2013) found that intranasal Oxitocin administration improved emotional recognition in individuals with autism spectrum disorders.
