The air is loaded with intimate messages both unseen and unknown to other species. A female moth can announce, to a male moth, miles away that she is eager to mate and the male responds by making the journey upwind to his potential mate. Who has not heard stories of a female dog going into heat, and male dogs from all over the neighborhood are drawn by a the scent. Ever since scientists discovered pheromones in the 1970's, they've found such chemical communication in hundreds of species - from moths to dogs to monkeys. And man? The first proof that humans produce and react to pheromones was published in the journal Nature, researchers say they found that female ovulation can be regulated -- made longer or shorter -- through the use of pheromones. Researchers now know that pheromones are detected by the same nerve cells in the nose used to detect odor and by another structure in the nose called the vomeronasal organ VNO. Humans VNO organs are located in our olfactory system and were historically described as non-functional, but in any other animals the VNO has long been understood as part of a pheromone system. Research on pheromones and the VNO by Jennings-White also examined what responses pheromones produced on the VNO. According to his graphed results, the most active pheromones for humans are Di-Dehydroepiandrosterone, Estratetraenol and Androstandienone. Furthermore, he concluded that pheromones are species-specific, so androstenone, the pig pheromone, although stimulating the NVO, does not give remarkable activity like human pheromones do. It has becoming increasingly clear that human pheromones affect human relationships both in business and interpersonal. For some time we have known that visual input and a person's ability to communicate confidently affects other people's behavior. During this decade, many more people are learning that our behavior is also driven in the same manner as it is in mammals: via olfaction and pheromones. Think this research has gone unnoticed by the multibillion dollar fragrance industry? NO WAY!!! For many years these product have contained musk (animal pheromones) but more and more are changing there formulations to contain human pheromones. Why? Well let's just say there business is to bring a perfume or cologne to market that capture market share and maintains customer loyalty and apparently they believe change there formulations to include human pheromones do that for them. So what products are best on the market today? I think that controversy will be around for a long time with every product making claim of superiority. What is known is phermones are produced in different ratios in men/women; older men/younger men, and some evidence suggests that this is also true in homosexual/heterosexual men. Product like Andromagnetism , Pherlure and allegedly Athena contain Di-Dehydroepiandrosterone which is the most abundant adrenal steroid our body produces and our body and skin metabolize Di-Dehydroepiandrosterone into other pheromones like androsterone and etiocholanolone, in other words it amplifies our natural body chemistry. Andromagnetism and Athena are unscented which allows you to use a fragrance you have selected. |
