Summary
It has been shown that 5-HTP stimulates cortisol levels in plasma and saliva. Similarly, it
has been shown that intense exercise stimulates an increase in plasma and salivary cortisol
levels. The purpose of this study is to examine the combined effects of 5-HTP + intense
exercise on plasma and salivary cortisol levels.
