S-IgA Secretion Rate (μg/mL/min∼15 h) refers to S-IgA exposure across the day and was calculated using AUCg; Cortisol concentration (μg/mL/min∼15 h) refers to cortisol exposure across the day and was calculated using AUCg; URTI symptom severity was calculated using total symptom scores across the study period and averaged across participants; URTI symptom duration was calculated using total days reported across the study period and averaged across participants.
