Cortisol Morning 5.8 [5.1-40.2] - Within range
Cortisol Noon 2.6 [2.1-15.7] - Within range
Cortisol Evening 1.4 [1.8-12.1] - Low
Cortisol Night 0.3 [0.9-9.2] - Low
Interpretations: Diurnal cortisol patter is consistent with evolving adrenal
gland fatigue (hypoadrenia).

Shows low-normal range for the first part of the day, low and lower into late afternoon and evening.
I need cortisol, that's clear. Now, I'm trying to figure out which OTC source to use and in what doses.
Addition:
The following list is a compilation of symptoms experienced by patients while raising Armour, and which revealed low cortisol. These symptoms occurred at low doses of Armour, or waited until the patient got as high as 3 grains and more:
