(High-Dose Neuropeptide Therapy for Emotional Bonding, Intimacy Enhancement, and Psychosocial Wellness)

High-Potency Buccal Delivery for Relationship Health and Emotional Regulation

This Oxytocin Troche (400 IU each) is a compounded, high-dose buccal delivery formulation designed for individuals seeking enhanced support in emotional resilience, intimacy, trust-building, and social connection. By slowly dissolving between the cheek and gum (buccally), the troche enables efficient systemic absorption of oxytocin without degradation by the digestive tract.

Used in clinical, psychiatric, and functional medicine settings, this higher-strength troche supports patients navigating attachment issues, intimacy loss, emotional trauma recovery, neurodiverse social processing, and relationship reconnection—providing a physiologically relevant dose of one of the brain’s most powerful bonding hormones.

What Is Oxytocin?

Oxytocin is a naturally occurring peptide hormone and neuropeptide produced in the hypothalamus and secreted by the posterior pituitary. Though classically known for its roles in labor, lactation, and maternal bonding, oxytocin also plays a key role in:

• Emotional regulation and mood stabilization

• Trust, empathy, and interpersonal connection

• Stress resilience and parasympathetic nervous system activation

• Sexual intimacy and orgasmic response

In the therapeutic setting, oxytocin is increasingly used to help patients rebuild emotional engagement, improve social cognition, and strengthen relationships with self, others, and environment.

Mechanism of Action

When administered via buccal troche, oxytocin is absorbed through the oral mucosa and enters the bloodstream, crossing the blood-brain barrier to bind with oxytocin receptors (OXTR) throughout key brain regions:

• Amygdala – Modulates fear, aggression, and attachment

• Hippocampus – Supports memory consolidation tied to emotional context

• Prefrontal cortex – Regulates decision-making and empathy

• Brainstem and vagus nerve pathways – Support parasympathetic regulation

This receptor activation leads to:

• Reduced cortisol and stress signaling

• Enhanced serotonin and dopamine transmission

• Improved ability to trust, bond, and emotionally attune

Clinical Applications

The 400 IU strength is well-suited for patients requiring more robust or sustained oxytocin support, including:

1. Emotional and Relationship Wellness

• Restoration of emotional closeness in relationship counseling

• Management of emotional withdrawal or intimacy fatigue

• May enhance partner attunement, empathy, and affection

2. Stress, Burnout, and Mood Support

• Adjunct for emotional trauma recovery or post-crisis rebuilding

• May alleviate feelings of isolation or chronic irritability

• Encourages a return to self-regulation and calmness

3. Neurodiversity and Behavioral Health

• Investigational use in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and social phobia

• May help support eye contact, social processing, and attachment behavior

• Potential role in attachment disorders and emotional dysregulation syndromes

4. Sexual Intimacy and Libido

• May increase sexual desire, orgasmic satisfaction, and emotional receptivity

• Supports reconnection between couples following hormonal shifts, stress, or aging

Dosing and Administration

• Dose: 400 IU per troche

• Administration: Place in cheek (buccal pouch) or under the tongue and allow to dissolve slowly over 10–15 minutes

• Frequency: Typically once daily or as directed (can be used on demand for therapeutic intimacy)

• Onset: Effects may begin within 30–60 minutes, lasting several hours

• Cycle Use: May be prescribed intermittently or daily depending on clinical goals

Avoid chewing or swallowing whole to preserve efficacy.

• Mild headache

• Lightheadedness or slight drop in blood pressure

• Emotional sensitivity (transient)

• Water retention or rare hyponatremia with chronic high-dose use

Monitor patients with cardiovascular conditions or those concurrently taking medications that alter fluid/electrolyte balance.
