Anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH)Updated 3 months ago

What is the anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH)?
AMH is a key marker for reproductive health, produced by the ovaries in females and testes in males. In females, it measures egg supply (ovarian reserve), with higher levels indicating a greater egg supply.

Why is AMH important?
AMH is part of SiPhox Health's female Hormone+ panel due to its role in reproductive function, especially for those trying to conceive.

AMH testing insights:

• Egg supply: Higher AMH means more eggs; lower AMH may indicate fewer eggs.
• Fertility treatments: AMH helps guide IVF and other fertility treatments.
• Irregular periods: AMH levels can assist in diagnosing conditions like PCOS or ovarian issues.

Understanding AMH levels:

• Good levels by age:
  25: > 3.0 ng/mL
  30: > 2.5 ng/mL
  35: > 1.5 ng/mL
  40: > 1.0 ng/mL
  45: > 0.5 ng/mL
• Normal range: 1 – 3 ng/mL.
  Low: < 1 ng/mL; Severely low: < 0.5 ng/mL.

High AMH can indicate good fertility or, in cases of PCOS, make conception difficult. Low AMH is common during menopause but doesn't always mean infertility.

Maintaining optimal AMH levels:

• Diet: Dairy may slow AMH decline; reducing fat intake can help increase levels.
• Lifestyle: Exercise and quitting smoking can boost AMH.
• Supplements: Vitamin D may help raise AMH for non-PCOS females.

If you are concerned about your AMH levels always consult your physician.
