COMMUNICATION THROUGH PHEROMONES
Pheromones are natural substances produced and released by animals, and they act as chemical stimuli that cause certain reactions, either physiological or behavioral, in other individuals of the same species. The existence of communication through pheromones is known in almost all social animals. In humans, the first evidence of pheromone action was observed with the timing of the menstrual cycle in cohabiting women. Several studies support the role that pheromones play in human communication and especially in the area of sexual attraction (Bhutta, 2007; Kohl et al, 2001).
In humans, the apocrine glands are the main source of pheromones, but their production can also be linked to the sebaceous glands. The activity of these pheromone-producing glands begins with hormonal changes during puberty. Produced in low concentrations, pheromones reach the human nose, although the brain perceives them without being aware of it (we do not smell them through our sense of smell). The brain receives a signal when it is exposed to a positive stimulus and a response is activated, which consequently causes the recipient to be attracted to and yearn for the person who is releasing them.
Excretion of copulin (combination of five volatile aliphatic acids: acetic, propane, methylpropane, butane and methylbutane) in women is known as a mechanism of sexual communication that leads to an increase in testosterone in men (Steinbach et al., 2012) and arouses more interest in them (Jütte and Grammer, 1997). Sensyfeel H is designed to act like a copulin and arouse sexual attraction in men.
What is it made of?
Jasmine flowers, whose scent causes an increase in testosterone in men (Fukui 2007), and carob fruits, whose content of short-chain fatty acids mimics copulins (Racolta et al., 2014).
Jasminum officinale L., commonly known as white jasmine, belongs to the family Oleaceae, which consists of about 150 species mainly native to the warmer regions of Europe. It is native to China, northern India, Pakistan and the northwestern Himalayas, and has become fully acclimatized to central and southern European regions. It is widely cultivated in European gardens for ornamental purposes. Jasmine concentrate is produced mainly in Italy, France, Morocco, Egypt, China and Turkey, and is primarily used in perfumes and baked goods.
Ceratonia siliqua L. belongs to the Fabaceae family, and its common name is carob. Its fruit, the carob, is a pod 10–15 cm long with pulpy sweet walls separating its hard seeds: the carob fruit. Its origin lies in the Middle East or southern Mediterranean. Spain is the most populated country in this basin, followed by Portugal, Morocco and Greece. The term “Ceratonia” is believed to come from the Greek word keration, referring to the shape of its fruit (little horn). “Siliqua” is the Latin name for the type of fruit in the pod. It was traditionally used as animal feed due to the sweet taste of its fruits, but is currently also used in stews, pastries, and as a substitute for cocoa.
