Pheromones are widely used
to promote aggregation. Among social insects such
as termites and ants, several different pheromones
may transmit the various messages needed to coordinate
the complex activities of a colony. Some ants
lay scent pheromones along a trail leading to
a food source so that other members of the colony
can find the food. Pheromones are also used to
signal the presence of danger. A wounded minnow
has been shown to release a chemical from specialized
epidermal cells that elicits a dispersal response
from the school. Pheromones play a role in sexual
attraction and copulatory behavior, and they have
been shown to influence the sexual development
of many mammals as well as of insects such as
termites and grasshoppers. Such pheromones tend
to last relatively longer and extend farther distances
than alarm pheromones. Aspects of vertebrate parent-young
responses are often elicited by chemical stimuli.
Entomologists use particular sex-attractant pheromones
to lure and trap harmful insects.
Pheromones may be involved in human sexual response.
In testing human vaginal secretions, scientists
have identified fatty acids identical to several
that are presumed to act as sex pheromones in
other primates. The human female's sensitivity
to musklike odors is greatest around the time
of ovulation, which some researchers interpret
as proof of the ancestral presence of a musky
pheromone in the male.
How
do the Pheromones work?
We know that everybody emits Pheromones. Problem
is, the quantity emitted, based on individual,
may be very minimal. Increasing the dosage of
pheromone molecules in your surroundings, will
make you stand out in the crowd and may greatly
increase your chances of attracting that someone
special.
Is
there any evidence to show if Pheromones are effective
in attracting people?
There is plenty of evidence. With the advances
in science, the evidence that pheromones are effective
in attracting opposite sexes is growing rapidly.

Are
the Pheromones used within the products
obtained from humans?
No. The pheromones that are used to manufacture
the various pheromone products are chemically
synthesized.
What are Synthesized Human
Pheromones?
Because of extremely limited supply of human Pheromones,
it would be impossible to satisfy the general
consumer's demand for non-synthesized versions
of Pheromone products. The limited supply would
make the human Pheromones incredibly expensive
and virtually out of range for over 90% of the
population. To deliver the Pheromone product at
a fairly reasonable prices, human Pheromones are
therefore synthesized to resemble the original
chemical compounds.
What is a chemical
synthesis?
Synthesis is the construction of complex chemical
compounds from simpler ones. It is the process
by which many substances important to daily life
are obtained. It is applied to all types of chemical
compounds, but most syntheses are of organic molecules.Chemists
synthesize chemical compounds that occur in nature
in order to gain a better understanding of their
structures. Synthesis also enables chemists to
produce compounds that do not form naturally for
research purposes. In industry, synthesis is used
to make products in large quantity.
What
is a VNO?
VNO Function: Pheromone Communication: The Vomeronasal
Organ or VNO is the receptor organ of a sensory
system involved in chemical communication. Among
mammals, sex Pheromones that advertise sexual
readiness to potential mates are often, although
not necessarily exclusively, detected by the VNO.
Odors that are produced by one individual and
detected by another of the same species are called
"Pheromones" if the process is a real communication
with benefit to both individuals. Sexual communication
is only one example.
How does the
VNO function?
Human VNO Function: Recent experiments report
that an electrical response can be recorded from
the VNO pit in awake humans in response to chemicals
found in human skin. The researchers suggest that
the effective substances (steroids) are human
pheromones but have not investigated this possibility
scientifically. The best documented examples of
chemical (pheromonal?) communication in humans
is the synchronization of menstrual cycles among
women who live together, and the damping of irregularities
in menstrual cycle length by chemicals from males.
Do
the pheromones work in the same way for both sexes ?
Yes, however, you have to use gender specific
pheromones to attract opposite gender. Otherwise,
you will be attracting people of the same sex.
