Hello everyone!

I created this thread about Androstadienone because i think it is as an important molecule, so we should have some place to learn and exchange information.

I've put together some info I collected on vendors sites, which i keep for my record. Please, if there’s any wrong info here, PM me and I’ll correct it ASAP.


Androstadienone

Overview
Androstadienone, commonly known as A 1, is derived from progesterone and pregnenolone. Tests have shown that it can significantly influence the mood of heterosexual women and homosexual men. Androstadienone is most commonly found in perspiration. It has also been found in the secretions of the human hair. Androstadienone has shown gender specific reaction in women in particular activation of the hypothalamus. Maximal activation was observed in the medial preoptic area/anterior hypothalamus, which, according to animal studies, is highly involved in sexual behavior, resulting in the female relaxing, slower breathing and heart rate. One particular study has shown that it affects attention and social cognition areas of the brain. It is also one of the only pheromones that has been shown to stimulate the VNO, and so has been described as a vomeropherin.


Effects
It has been demonstrated that when exposed to Androstadienone, women let go of stress and discomfort, followed by a feeling of well being. Multiple studies have shown this mood elevating reaction. It has also been said that it eases the symptoms of PMS as well as headaches in women. Another study that was attempting to determine if Androstadienone exposed women would be able to withstand greater levels of pain due to the relaxed Androstadienone induced state, discovered that exactly the opposite was true. Consequently, they accidentally demonstrated that Androstadienone increased the skin sensitivity of women due to a heightened state of arousal. The above mentioned study demonstrates that exposure to Androstadienone increases a woman’s sense of pleasure when being touched. It has been demonstrated that women exposed to Androstadienone judge men as more attractive than when they have not been exposed. It has been known to increase intimacy and comfort, and can also increase caring feelings. Androstadienone has been called the “love pheromone” because of the nature of the feelings and reactions it induces in women, and also because of its usefulness in more cozy relationship situations.

I'd like to call your attention to the fact that Androstadienone increases awareness dispensed to the internal feelings when a proper stimuli is present. Once it enhances feeling awareness, and we know women are naturally emotionally driven/focused, I’d like to theorise on the effects of Androstadienone as an enhancer/amplifier. Can anyone contribute on that matter?

EDIT: Put Androstadienone as subtitle in large letters.
