In summary, the molecule attributed to patience is oxytocin, a hormone and neurotransmitter that plays a role in social bonding, trust, and empathy. Some studies have shown that oxytocin can increase patience and decrease impulsive behavior by promoting relaxation and trust, and enhancing communication and cooperation. It can be artificially increased through various methods, and while it is not the only molecule related to patience, other factors such as hormones, neurotransmitters, and individual and environmental factors may also play a role.

Well... I contacted the manufacturer about it. She said it's not even a real molecule! It has no tie whatsoever to patience. It's just a concept, or something.
So, I definitely didn't buy that necklace!
I bought Theobromine instead! (in chocolate)

Well, thanks to you all for looking at a trick question! Ha! :/
