BUT newer research proves that theory wrong, and instead, suggests that endocannabinoids are responsible.

Listen in as expert Blaise Collins, PhD, ACSM-EP-C shares an overview of what really causes the runner's high. He gives us a summary of a review article from The International Journal of Molecular Science.
