[ExI] Oxytocin Sprays Appearing

[Gary Miller]

First of all before I get dinged for being offtopiclet me say why I think
this is not off topic.  
 
If this is true then the implication for both feeling trust and creating
trust in others could be
dramatically enhanced.
 
My question, has anyone experimented with the new Oxytocin sprays that 
are appearing on the market?

The hormone itself seems to have a lot of scientific evidence supporting it.

But the advertising of the sprays is pretty cheesy and I wonder how they're
getting synthesizing 

or extracting the hormone in sufficient concentration to actually do
anything.

And at $50 I'd feel less silly if someone else admitted to trying it first.

I was also surprised to find injectable versions called Pitocin and
Syntocinon which it seems is being used to induce labor.
