Oxytocin
A naturally occurring nine-amino-acid peptide hormone that governs social bonding, childbirth and lactation — used clinically in specific compounded contexts.
Definition
Oxytocin is a posterior-pituitary hormone best known for its role in uterine contraction and milk let-down. It also has central effects on social bonding, trust and anxiolysis. Clinically it's used intravenously in labour and delivery, and in compounded intranasal and sublingual forms for select psychiatric and relational-support protocols under specialist supervision.
