How long does Oxytocin stay in your system?
The Peppy catalog lists a half-life of about 6 minutes for Oxytocin. After roughly five half-lives, about 30 minutes, most of a single dose has cleared. That is an estimate from the half-life, not a measurement, and individual clearance varies.
Can I track Oxytocin in Peppy?
Yes. Oxytocin is one of 123 compounds built into Peppy, with its form, unit and typical frequency prefilled. Add it as a protocol, set your schedule, and Peppy handles the countdown, the log and the reminders (Pro).
Where should I inject Oxytocin?
