could someone please explain…  
what does each of these letters stand for:  
tah and tal

and, what is the diff between alpha Androstenol - and beta Androstenol?  
do all mixes with alpha provoke the same thing?  
ditto on beta?

I don’t know why there’s a letter A in there, but those are Test Molecule H and Test Molecule L.

Alphanol is the primary ingredient in [Instant Openness](https://a314.com/product/instant-openness/), and Betanol is the primary ingredient in IH. Alphanol creates an upbeat, comfortable, chatty atmosphere, while Betanol induces trust, rapport, and an “I’ve known you forever” type feeling.

Michael said at some point that Openness (mostly alpha) promotes quantity of coversation while Honesty (mostly beta) promotes quality of conversation. That’s why lots of people wear them together.
