Cortisol is supposed to be lower during the night. It reaches its lowest point around 3-4am. Cortisol fluctuates during the 24hr day. Highest in morning, a dip at 4pm, a slight rise after dinner, but smaller than the morning reading, and the lowest at 4am or so.

The Inflammacore looks okay.

I cannot comment on the Chinese herbs... given what China is exporting these days...I myself would never take them.
You can buy ginger root in US and that is the most commonly used for inflammation. Puritan's Pride has it. Another good anti-inflammatory is Curcumin. But it needs to be in a form that has been enhanced for better absorption. CurcuGel is one brand that is enhanced. The best is LongVida, but it is expensive.

This link was just posted today: defective Chinese glass.
I offer it as a further example of defective, or tainted Chinese products.

China continues to poison its own children with tainted milk with melamine added, poisoned pet food exported, damaged drugs that have killed children in this country exported (heparin, methotrexate), herbs tainted with drugs, exploding Pyrex cookware (China bought the trademark name Pyrex), exploding glass, toxic toys with lead and cadmium, and whatnot!

The RX form of Vit D is D2 and not very useful to the human body. D3 is much more effective. But doctors continue to give the RX anyway. What a waste! The average rule for raising D3 is 1000IU per 10 points in the test range. Some people need more, some less. 6000 IU D3 sounds like a typical dose.

If you tested high for RH factor, you have some inflammation going on. That test is typically inaccurate with false negatives, but a positive test indicates you have RA .

The range for B12 in US has that lower number of 200...which is not accurate anymore. The lower end should be 400 now.
Some doctors know this and many don't.
If you were taking a supplement you might test high. There is no upper limit for B12, so it is not worrisome if you have high levels. In fact some people require higher levels than others.
