What is an optimal AM Cortisol. I had these labs drawn at 10AM. The normal Quest range is noted, but it is not always optimal. I am currently not taking any TRT or supplements but considering DHEA and Pregnenolone as both have previously tested low. My DHEA level is at the bottom of the Quest reference range. I suffer from severe fatigue especially in early mornings. Any information is appreciated

If I take DHEA should I take it before bed with lower AM Cortisol levels since DHEA lowers Cortisol?
