Have Scientists Discovered a True 21st Century Love Potion?
Most people think of love potions as the stuff of fantasy, the love-struck hero selling his soul for a magical elixir. What attracts two people to each other has always been somewhat of a mystery and for many people, that’s the way they want it to remain.
But just as scientists are uncovering the mysteries of genetics and the workings of the brain, so to, are they making remarkable discoveries that may just have lead to the uncovering of a true effective love potion.
If you’re old fashioned and want to preserve the mystery of human attraction stop reading now.
If, on the other hand you’re curious about these discoveries, read on!
The first discovery concerns what’s known as the limbic region of the brain. It turns out that scientists are able to show that this area of the brain is responsible for our emotions and sexual attraction. Scientists have taken to calling this part of our anatomy as the “Seat of Emotions”
The second discovery concerns an organ just inside the nasal cavity called the vomeronasal organ (VNO). It appears that the sole function of the VNO is to detect trace amounts of a chemical hormone called a pheromone, and in turn, stimulate the limbic region of the brain and increase our feelings of longing and attraction.
Scientists have long been aware that humans and animals produce powerful air-borne chemical hormones called pheromones and until recently the purpose of these chemicals was a mystery. But the discoveries mentioned above have led researchers to theorize that the body's production of these hormones stems from our evolutionary need to attract a mate and reproduce.
Remarkably, this theory has been borne out in various scientific studies on animals. The purpose of pheromones clearly is to stimulate attraction in members of the opposite sex.
But what about humans? The theory that pheromones play the same role in humans was recently reinforced by the famous "twins" study done by the ABC News show 20/20.
To test whether pheromones really work 20/20 sent sets of identical male and female twins to a speed-dating event and gave them each a scent - one twin in each set received a scent containing pheromones. No one knew who had what. They went on 10 dates each lasting five minutes. The daters then completed forms stating which of the people they would like to see again. At the end of the evening nine men wanted to see Sarah again and five men wanted to see Bridget again. As for the guys, 10 women were interested in Dave and only six women were interested in Paul. Sarah and Dave were wearing the pheromones.
The next challenge was to figure out how to manufacture pheromones so that they could be used as a natural human attractant. Enter Dr. Virgil Amend, a pioneer in the field of human pheromones and formulator of a product called Pheromone Advantage.
According to Dr. Amend, "Humans naturally produce their own pheromones. However, we wash them away or disguise them with frequent bathing, detergents, antiperspirants, etc." "Our understanding of the human capacity to sense pheromones and the nerve pathways that deliver those signals to the brain have paved the way to the development of our powerful formulation. We have blended the three most powerful pheromones in a concentrated formula to activate and stimulate the VNO organ in the opposite sex."
“By supplementing with a few drops of the Pheromone Advantage formula, you can not only replace natural levels of these pheromones, but boost levels to the extent that the concentration is unavoidable." Dr. Amend has developed specific high potency formulas specifically for both men and women.
What does that mean? Well, according to hundreds of people that have tried Dr. Amend's Pheromone Advantage, it means more flirting, more dates and more passion.
So, would you ever consider using pheromones to your secret advantage? Well, if you’re one of those people that believe all’s fair in love and war, then why not?
Dr. Amend’s Pheromone Advantage is available on the company’s web site for $39.95, considerably less than what the tragic hero usually gives up for it in the old stories. Better yet, the company offers a full 90 day guarantee. If you don’t find that it works for you, simply send back the bottle (even if it’s empty) for a full, prompt refund of the product price.

Love potions in this world are known as human pheromones. Although pheromones are usually found and discussed in animals, humans are also known to produce pheromones which also acts the same way pheromones work in the animal kingdom, sexual attraction.
