In 1981, Dirk Hellhammer and his group introduced the assessment of steroid hormones in saliva to psychobiological research. Being extremely reliable, non-invasive as well as not requiring a laboratory, this new process soon spread all over the world. The cortisol measured in the saliva reflects the biologically active hormone fraction. Permanent small changes in the hormone level as caused by stress, depression and anxiety have a negative effect on blood pressure, body weight, type 2 diabetes and other somatic and mental diseases. Our clients benefit from our years of experience, and we advise them in the planning and implementation of research trials based on the most recent scientific standards and achievements.
