“Is My Morning Cortisol Too Low”
If my morning cortisol drawn at 8:30 AM was 4.9 and the range by labcorp is 6.2 - 19.4 and cortisol should be highest in the morning and slowly go down throughout the day isn't mine too low, also I've read morning cortisol should be around 10 to 15 at least and be around where mine is after 4 PM, so is my morning cortisol too low?
