Oxytocin – “social Viagra”?
A drug that combats shyness and social awkwardness, dubbed “social Viagra”, could soon be available at a drug store near you.
Scientists in the US found that oxytocin, a natural hormone that assists childbirth and helps mothers bond with newborn babies, helps reduce anxiety and calm phobias.
Paul Zak, a professor of neuroscience at California’s Claremont Graduate University, who has tested the hormone said: “Tests have shown that oxytocin reduces anxiety levels in users. It is a hormone that facilitates social contact between people. What’s more, it is a very safe product that does not have any side effects and is not addictive.”
‘Research shows that the higher the natural level of oxytocin people have in their brain, the more likely they are to give money to charity and act kindly towards strangers. It has also been shown to increase the level of monogamy in rodents.’
Oxytocin is an FDA controlled substance!

Feeling shy to go to a party full of strangers? – Oxytocin “Social viagra”
Feeling shy to go to a party full of strangers? Oxytocin social viagra! The “love hormome” oxytocin can help banish excessive shyness. That’s right, the “cuddle hormone” known to assist childbirth and help mothers bond with their newborn has been shown to reduce anxiety as well as ease phobias. “Tests have shown oxytocin reduces anxiety levels in users. It is a hormone that facilitates social contact between people. What’s more, it is a very safe product that does not have any side effects and is not addictive,” says Prof Paul Zak. Zak and his colleagues at Claremont Graduate University have tested the hormone on hundreds of patients. According to them, oxytocin’s main effect is to curb the instincts of wariness and suspicion that cause anxiety. It is produced naturally in the brain and heightens the feelings of intimacy after sexual intercourse, too. “We’ve seen that it makes you care about the other person. It also increases your generosity towards that person. That’s why (the hormone) facilitates social interaction,” said.
Oxytocin spray has also been successfully trialled at the University of New South Wales while researchers in New York have found it lessened symptoms of autism which include agitation also. “Oxytocin does not cure autism, but it does reduce the symptoms. So there is a reduction of anxiety in autistic patients, and the oxytocin can induce them to do things like make eye contact with other people and look at their faces – something autistic people find hard to do,” Prof Zak said.
