sd alcohol destroys pheromones?

Is it true that alcohol destroy pheromones if soo

why does apr have sd alcohol 40 in it :confused:

Androtics uses SD38 and or SD39 (just a better quality grade of perfumers alcohol) in our products. It absolutely enhances the pheromones! Where did you read such rubbish? Please cite the source so we can quickly dispel it as false.:slight_smile:

Only if you drink it.

So ingesting alcohol destroys Pheromones??

Natural Pheromones or manufactured ??

Heh, someone can’t tell when someone is joking. :stuck_out_tongue:

LMAO!!

Gegogi is thinking DA!! :stuck_out_tongue::stuck_out_tongue:

I am thinking there must be some marketer out there with a oil product spreading this bullshit because its been asked a lot lately. LOL Not your fault there is a lot of conflicting misinformation out there and its hard to know what to believe.

In chemistry Alcohol is used to stabilize molecules including pheromones, Hormones and Steroids. This you can see in many University abstracts that test pheromones and have nothing to do with the marketing of pheromones. If alcohol was a problem they would not use it in there experiments.

Bacteria is what breaks down hormones.

Alcohol breaks down enzymes. (like bacteria) but hormones are not enzymes they are …

Pheromones are derived from hormones.

Now oil based pheromones products have a short “lifespan” compared to alcohol based products unless a antibacterial EO is used in the mix. Pheromones can be quickly converted or turn rancid in a oil base if not handled and stored properly.

Now this part gets a little tricky, confusing and some of us have a difference of opinion when it comes to mixing.

Some people say you should not mix with a EO that has anti bacterial properties. I dont agree. As I mentioned bacteria breaks down pheromones. You want to prevent this from happening to a certain extent because anol is anol until it breaks down usually into anone but then the anone starts to break down into something else which then becomes non-pheromonal in nature…

Bold part edited for correction (Thanks guys)


…You dont want break down you want diffusion. Heat causes diffusion not bacterial conversion.

Anywho… that subject aside. You dont need to worry with Androtics products because the alcohol actually stabilizes the molecules.

Tish, im confused. i thought anol breaks down into anone and not vice versa?

Erm me too.

I thought it went like this
A1-anol-anone

Maybe she had a brain fart.

Great Info Tisha!!

:roll_eyes::roll_eyes:

So if alcohol stabilizes the sprays?? What stabilizes the oils? :confused:

Whooops LOL Thank you very much for pointing that out, even though I know this well I did get it backwards . That’s what I get for typing to fast that early in the morning. Sometimes my hands move faster then my brain … Hey never claimed to be perfect…Yes Tisha has brain farts to LOL :smiley:

Here is the correct conversion

(Androstadienone > Androstenol > androstenone).

I will edit as to not confuse the newbies.

Now because androtics uses alcohol and very high quality pheromones conversion rarely occurs unless you spray to places high in the coryneform bacteria like your pits and groin so you really dont have to worry about major conversion.

I dont know what Androtics uses in oils but I would say Dipropylene glycol. I have used jojoba oil and I know this is what Drsmellthis uses are well from his postings on it.

This post may help you with that more …

Thanks again guys :wink:

Tisha

You really know your stuff!!

You single? :wink:

:smiley: :cool:

Actually, Tisha, it is a “marketer”. I saw them on eBay… don’t know if they’re still selling there, but they make a big deal out of how alcohol destroys pheros and anything with alcohol in it is a scam. Which is pretty stupid, considering how fast it backfires when people realize they’re full of sh*t.

Just in case you did not know alcohol kills bacteria; some EO’s kill bacteria and that should clear up NOT using those EO’s that kill or inhibit bacteria. Both can be bacterialcidal.

I believe MHarris before anyone else and if Harris says some EO’s will kill the bacteria the mones need, well I believe him.
