Oxytocin at a glance
Oxytocin is a nine-amino-acid hormone made in the hypothalamus and released by the posterior pituitary. It controls uterine contraction and milk release, and acts in the brain on social behavior.
Synthetic oxytocin is an approved obstetric drug.
Oxytocin mechanism of action
Oxytocin acts on the oxytocin receptor, a G-protein coupled receptor found in the uterus, breast tissue and many brain regions.
In the body it triggers contractions and milk letdown. In the brain it’s involved in social recognition, bonding and stress responses, which is what most current research is about.

How to reconstitute Oxytocin 10mg
The volume of liquid you add sets the concentration. For a vial holding 10mg:
- 1mL of diluent gives 10mg/mL
- 2mL of diluent gives 5mg/mL
- 3mL of diluent gives 3.33mg/mL
Go with whichever number is easiest to work with in your protocol, and label the vial with the concentration and the date you mixed it.
Most labs use sterile bacteriostatic water or our research diluent solution. Let the vial reach room temperature, run the liquid slowly down the inside of the glass, then roll it gently until the powder dissolves. Don’t shake it. Shaking can shear peptide chains.
Storing Oxytocin 10mg
Store sealed vials in the fridge (2 to 8°C) or freezer (-20°C), away from light. Mixed solution goes back in the fridge and should be used within about 28 days.
Oxytocin 10mg lab reports
Scroll through the Oxytocin 10mg photos and you’ll find one Janoshik Analytical test report. Each one lists the compound found, the measured amount and the HPLC purity, plus the batch number and the date the lab ran it.
Oxytocin 10mg is sold at a minimum of 98% purity by HPLC. The reports below show the actual figure for each batch tested.
Every Janoshik report has a unique key printed at the bottom. Enter it at janoshik.com/verify and you’ll see the same report straight from the lab, which is the easiest way to know a COA hasn’t been edited. Match the batch on the report with the batch on your label.
