Oxytocin Troches (Sublingual)
Sublingual oxytocin lozenges, 30 troches per pack, two strengths
- FormCompressed sublingual troche (lozenge), slowly dissolving base
Overview
Oxytocin troches are compressed sublingual lozenges formulated with synthetic oxytocin in a slowly dissolving base. They are supplied in packs of thirty at two strengths: 50 IU per troche and 120 IU per troche, corresponding to roughly 100 µg and 240 µg of peptide using the conventional 1 IU ≈ 2 µg conversion. The active peptide is the same cyclic nonapeptide, closed by a Cys1–Cys6 disulfide bridge, that we supply as lyophilized powder and as a nasal solution.
Sublingual and buccal formats exist in this literature because the ordinary oral route is closed to the molecule: a cyclic nonapeptide is hydrolysed by gastric and pancreatic proteases and absorbs poorly across intestinal epithelium, whereas the floor of the mouth presents a thin, permeable, well-perfused epithelium draining without a first pass through the liver. Whether a peptide of about 1007 g/mol crosses it in useful quantity is compound-specific, and measuring that is what route-comparison work is for, with contact time, saliva dilution and the dissolution rate of the base all entering the result. The slowly dissolving troche base is therefore part of the article rather than packaging. Packs are held cool, dry and away from humidity, which softens compressed lozenges.

Units and conversions
Capsule and troche strengths are stated per unit, so the figure a method needs is usually a conversion rather than a dilution. The mcg to mg converter handles the milligram-to-microgram step, and the millilitre arithmetic if you are working from a solution format instead.
Certificate of analysis
Every lot of Oxytocin Troches (Sublingual) is released against its own lot documentation, and where the manufacturer issues a certificate of analysis for it, that certificate is the record for the lot rather than a generic document for the compound. The lot number on the certificate matches the lot number printed on the label you receive — the vial label itself, where the product is vialled — so the record and the material it describes can always be reconciled.
This listing carries no purity percentage, so none is claimed for it here. Where the manufacturer issues analytical documentation for a lot of this item, it is passed on unaltered — ask and we will send whatever exists.
No lot certificate is on display on this page at the moment. That is a publishing state and not a testing one: lots are released and documented as described above whether or not the document is posted here, and we will send what exists for the lot in stock, or for a lot already on your bench, by its number.
Certificates are available on request before you order as well as after, with no account and no charge. Request the certificate for this listing, read the testing and documentation policy in full, or see how to read a peptide COA.
Questions about Oxytocin Troches (Sublingual)
How much oxytocin is in each troche?
The 50 IU troche contains approximately 100 µg of oxytocin and the 120 IU troche approximately 240 µg, using the conventional 1 IU ≈ 2 µg conversion for synthetic oxytocin. Each pack holds thirty troches, so total peptide content is roughly 3 mg and 7.2 mg respectively.
Why are troches expressed in IU rather than milligrams?
Oxytocin has historically been quantified by bioassay activity rather than mass, and international units remain the conventional expression for it. The mass equivalent is straightforward — about 2 µg per IU — but IU labelling stays in use because it matches how the peptide is described across the literature.
Is a certificate of analysis available?
Yes. The oxytocin used to make each lot is analysed by reverse-phase HPLC for purity of ≥99% and confirmed by mass spectrometry, and a lot-matched COA is available on request. Quote the lot number printed on the pack when asking for the document.
