Yes this is true, Androtics conducts double blind testing outside of the forum as well as sending samples to members of the reporting user groups, Members here test blind at times. I have conducted many blind tests on various people that do not even know what a mone is let alone what it can do.
Self effects, behavior changes and Biological results occur. Most people think the store and forum are about sales. Yes it helps in sales but the bottom line here is the research and development. Its what Androtics does. Sales fund the research.
That’s quite alright, we are all here to give our opinions and learn from each other experiences. Your partially right. Not every putative will cause a biological response but many do. All pheromones are classified as putative still in the science community which means they are still in testing. Keep in mind that while Pubmed is great they are not the only ones to publish abstracts on the testing of mones. Astrid Jutte and the biological effect of copulins is a good example. They proved that copulins raise a mans testosterone levels by 130 to 150 % from baseline when exposed to them and just pictures of women.
The results of IFM and A1 are not placebo. They consistently work and has been proven to work many times over. These are two putatives that have been most studied but this in no way takes away from the other more recently discovered putatives.
While Androtics is focusing on the cosmetic potential (perfume to signal and enhance) of using mones to enhance people lives there are Labs like Pherin Pharmaceuticals who are working on the biological responses and benefits of veronasal use of mones.
Pherin Pharmaceuticals
There is still a long way to go. Research is in its infancy but the potential is unlimited and very exciting.
So think of yourself as a pioneer in Pheromone Technology. The members here are helping with the research and advancement of Pheromones on many levels.
