Oxytocin acts on receptors in the amygdala, hypothalamus, and limbic system; the brain regions that process social information, emotional memory, and stress responses. By modulating activity in these areas, it reduces the amygdala's reactivity to social stressors, promotes feelings of trust and connection, and supports calming of the autonomic stress response.
Oral oxytocin enters systemic circulation and influences peripheral oxytocin receptors; the central effects involve receptor dynamics that your RegenMD provider evaluates as part of establishing your protocol.
