Syntocinon

Syntocinon is the product name of a synthetic form of the naturally occuring hormone oxytocin. Syntocinon may also be spelled syntocin or called pitocin.

While many resources claim that syntocinon/pitocin acts in the same way that oxytocin does naturally, there is increasing evidence that there is more occurring that the synthetic hormones do not reproduce.
