(Neurohormonal Therapy for Emotional Wellness, Social Connection, and Relationship Support)

Buccal Delivery of the “Love Hormone” for Affective Regulation and Intimacy Support

This compounded Oxytocin Troche (100 IU) offers a convenient, effective, and well-absorbed buccal delivery system for administering therapeutic oxytocin—a naturally occurring neuropeptide known for its roles in social bonding, emotional regulation, and interpersonal connection. Formulated to dissolve slowly between the cheek and gum, these troches ensure sustained mucosal absorption, bypassing gastrointestinal breakdown for enhanced systemic availability.

Ideal for patients seeking support in emotional health, stress modulation, intimacy enhancement, and behavioral balance, oxytocin troches are increasingly incorporated into protocols in psychiatry, hormone therapy, relationship counseling, and functional wellness programs.

What Is Oxytocin?

Oxytocin is a peptide hormone naturally produced in the hypothalamus and released from the posterior pituitary. Known as the “bonding hormone” or “cuddle hormone,” it plays a key role in:

• Maternal-infant bonding and childbirth

• Romantic connection and partner trust

• Emotional resilience and reduced stress response

• Social communication and group affiliation

• Orgasm, sexual satisfaction, and affectionate touch

As a neuromodulator, oxytocin is vital in promoting feelings of connection, relaxation, and trust, making it a valuable adjunct to a range of modern emotional wellness strategies.

Mechanism of Action

Once absorbed through the oral mucosa, oxytocin enters systemic circulation and crosses into the central nervous system, where it binds to oxytocin receptors (OXTR) in the brain, including the:

• Amygdala (emotion/fear regulation)

• Hippocampus (memory consolidation)

• Hypothalamus (social signaling and hormonal balance)

• Brainstem (stress response modulation)

Through this activity, oxytocin influences key neurotransmitter systems such as dopamine, serotonin, and GABA, resulting in:

• Lower cortisol levels

• Improved mood regulation

• Heightened empathy and trust

• Calm parasympathetic nervous activity

Clinical and Functional Applications

Oxytocin troches are used therapeutically for:

1. Emotional and Relationship Health

• Enhances empathy, trust, and emotional connection in couples

• May help reduce interpersonal defensiveness or detachment

• Can be used as part of couples therapy protocols

2. Stress and Anxiety Regulation

• Supports reduction in chronic stress or social anxiety

• May aid in recovery from trauma or emotional burnout

• Can improve mood resilience and help reframe emotional reactivity

3. Neurodiverse and Behavioral Support

• Investigational use in ASD (autism spectrum disorder) to support social recognition and communication

• May aid in attachment disorders or emotional flatness in neuroatypical presentations

4. Intimacy and Sexual Wellness

• Enhances romantic bonding, physical closeness, and orgasmic function

• May be helpful in low-libido or relationship detachment scenarios

• Can be used to support postpartum intimacy recovery under medical guidance

Dosing and Administration

• Typical Dose: 1 troche (100 IU) once daily, or as prescribed

• Administration: Place troche in the cheek (buccal pouch) or under the tongue; allow to dissolve slowly

• Absorption Time: 10–15 minutes

• Frequency: Once daily or on demand (not to exceed dosing recommendations)

• Adjustment: Dose can be titrated based on clinical effect and tolerability

Avoid chewing or swallowing the troche, as this reduces bioavailability.

Safety and Tolerability

Oxytocin is well tolerated when used under physician supervision. Since it mimics an endogenous hormone, systemic reactions are rare.

Possible mild side effects include:

• Headache

• Mild nausea or dizziness

• Emotional sensitivity or transient mood swings

• Rare: water retention or low sodium with long-term use (more common at supratherapeutic doses)

Always notify your provider of any persistent or concerning reactions.

Contraindications and Cautions

Avoid use in:

• Patients with known sensitivity to oxytocin peptides

• Individuals with a history of cardiovascular disease, unless medically cleared

• Pregnant or breastfeeding women, unless oxytocin is prescribed for obstetric purposes

• Concurrent use with SSRIs or antipsychotics should be reviewed by your prescriber
