Neuropeptide Hormone for Social and Behavioural Research
Oxytocin (10mg) will be supplied in Australia by Aussie Peptides with fast domestic shipping to all states and territories.
Oxytocin is a nine-amino-acid peptide hormone produced in the hypothalamus and released by the posterior pituitary. It is one of the most-studied neuropeptides in behavioural neuroscience, with research interest centred on its role in social recognition, pair bonding, trust and empathy behaviour, and the interaction between the oxytocin system and the stress axis.
Outside the brain, Oxytocin is the classical uterine and mammary smooth-muscle signal, and it is studied in models of gut motility and social-deficit conditions. Its short half-life makes it a useful reference compound for acute-dosing paradigms.
Key Research Areas
- Social Cognition — Studied for social recognition, trust and bonding behaviour models
- Stress Axis Modulation — Studied for interaction with cortisol and HPA-axis signalling
- Anxiety & Mood Models — Studied for anxiolytic-like effects in preclinical paradigms
- Smooth-Muscle Signalling — Classical uterine and mammary receptor pharmacology
- Comparative Research — Studied alongside PT-141 and the melanocortin system in social and sexual behaviour models
Supplied as lyophilized powder, verified by HPLC and mass spectrometry. 10mg per vial. Fast domestic shipping across Australia, with batch-specific CoA information available in our CoA Library.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Oxytocin?
Oxytocin is a small peptide hormone, just nine amino acids long, made in the hypothalamus and released from the pituitary. It is best known as the hormone of bonding and social connection, and it also drives smooth-muscle contraction in the uterus and mammary tissue. In research it is one of the most heavily studied neuropeptides, because it sits at the junction of social behaviour, stress and mood.
What does the research show about Oxytocin?
The bulk of the literature is behavioural. Oxytocin has been studied for its effects on social recognition, trust, pair bonding and empathy-type behaviour, and for how it dampens stress-axis activity. Preclinical work extends that into anxiety and social-deficit models. It is also a classical pharmacology reference compound for the uterine and mammary oxytocin receptor.
How is Oxytocin different from PT-141?
They are often discussed together but act on different systems. PT-141 is a melanocortin receptor agonist studied for sexual arousal. Oxytocin is a neuropeptide hormone studied for social bonding, trust and stress modulation. Where a research question is about the social and affiliative side of behaviour, Oxytocin is the relevant compound; where it is about arousal pathways, PT-141 is.
How do you reconstitute Oxytocin?
Oxytocin is supplied as a lyophilized powder and should be reconstituted with bacteriostatic water (BAC water) immediately before use. Inject the BAC water slowly into the vial, directing the stream down the inside wall. Gently swirl to dissolve — do not shake. Once reconstituted, store at 2–8°C and use within 8–12 weeks. For a full step-by-step walkthrough, see our complete peptide reconstitution guide.
How should Oxytocin be stored?
Store lyophilized Oxytocin vials at -20°C, away from light and moisture. After reconstitution with BAC water, refrigerate at 2–8°C and use within 8–12 weeks. Do not freeze the reconstituted solution.
