💘 Love at First Dose

You’ve heard of serotonin and dopamine. But oxytocin? That’s the underrated star of the hormonal hype reel. Known as the “love hormone,” “cuddle chemical,” and “bonding booster,” oxytocin isn’t just about warm fuzzies, it’s also a powerful therapeutic agent with the potential to improve mental health, reduce stress, boost healing, and even support fat loss.

At PHYX, we’re obsessed with the science of human optimisation and oxytocin is pure magic for body and mind.

🧬 What Does Oxytocin Actually Do?

Oxytocin is a neuropeptide and hormone produced by the hypothalamus and secreted by the pituitary gland. It plays a key role in:

• Emotional bonding & intimacy

• Trust formation & empathy

• Calming anxiety & lowering cortisol

• Pain regulation & wound healing

• Appetite control & weight loss support

• Improving sleep quality

• Boosting libido & sexual function

Yeah. It’s basically nature’s mood-enhancing, stress-busting, love-fueled multivitamin.
