Almost always used before a noun (circulatory system, circulatory health, circulatory problems). Rarely appears after 'be' on its own.

常見錯誤

I have good circulation.
the noun is 'circulation'; 'circulatory' only describes related body parts or processes.
The blood is circulatory through the heart.
The blood circulates through the heart.
use the verb 'circulate' for the action, not 'circulatory'.
