Your guide to Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH).

Discover the role of Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) in your health and longevity with Mito Health's advanced biomarker analysis. Our detailed reports cover key biomarkers, providing essential insights to help you make informed decisions for a healthier, longer life.

What is Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH)?

Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) is a protein hormone produced by cells within the ovarian follicles in females and by Sertoli cells in males.

‍

In women, AMH levels correlate with the number of antral follicles in the ovaries, providing insights into ovarian reserve, or the number of remaining eggs. In men, AMH plays a role in sexual differentiation during fetal development.

What does it assess?

AMH levels are primarily used as a marker of ovarian reserve in women.

‍

AMH testing is commonly used in fertility assessments, particularly when planning for in vitro fertilization (IVF) or when evaluating conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

‍

It can also help predict the timing of menopause, as AMH levels decline with age. In males, AMH testing is occasionally used to assess testicular function in specific pediatric cases.

How do I optimize my Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) levels?

Tip 1

Diets rich in antioxidants, healthy fats, and essential vitamins may help support ovarian health.

‍

Consuming foods high in omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants can support overall reproductive function.

‍

Tip 2

Managing body weight through regular exercise and a balanced diet can promote healthy ovarian function, as both obesity and being underweight may impact AMH levels and fertility potential.

‍

Tip 3

Limiting exposure to endocrine disruptors (like BPA and phthalates commonly found in plastics and certain chemicals) may support ovarian health.

‍

Use glass containers when possible and avoid personal care products with potentially harmful chemicals.

‍

What to high and low Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) levels mean?

Elevated AMH levels in women can suggest a high ovarian reserve.

‍

While high AMH can indicate greater fertility potential, extremely high levels may suggest polycystic ovarian characteristics and can be associated with anovulation or irregular menstrual cycles.

‍

Low AMH levels are generally associated with diminished ovarian reserve, which can indicate a lower remaining egg supply.

‍

This is more common as women age, but may also occur prematurely in conditions like primary ovarian insufficiency.

View All Questions

Is your health screening claimable by insurance or company benefits?

Yes, our health screening is recognised by insurance & corporate companies as a health screening panel. You will be issued an official invoice which can be used to file a claim.

What do I need to take note of before my blood test?

You’ll be required to fast 8 hours before the blood draw. Plain water is allowed.
No strenuous exercise 12 hours prior to the test.

Do I have to fast before the blood test?

Yes, you’ll be required to fast 8 hours before your blood draw. Plain water is allowed.

Do I have to give my urine & stool samples?

Yes, you will be required to provide urine & stool samples. Samples can be collected the same day as your blood draw, as the containers will be sent to you in advance. If you’re not able to produce the samples on the same day, they can be picked up on a separate arranged day.

How long does the health screening take?

Just 15-20 minutes! We’ll collect your blood sample & key biometrics. Stool & urine samples can be collected on the same day or in a separate arrangement.

How often should I do a health screening?

Doctors recommend at least twice a year, so you can also measure before & after any health interventions.
Our health screening is also complementary to traditional GP & Hospital health screenings if you have already done your health screening for the year. Our test report offers more in-depth insights & tailored health recommendations. You can view examples of the insights on our demo dashboard here.
Our panel of biomarkers not only extends your lifespan with early illness detection, but they also provide helpful insights to how you can feel & move better. Learn more about our biomarkers here.

Why is health screening important?

Long-term health: Regular screenings can help you stay healthy throughout your life. By identifying and addressing potential problems early on, you can reduce your risk of developing more serious health problems down the road.
Early treatment is better: Many health conditions are easier and more affordable to treat when caught early. Screenings can help identify these issues before they become more serious and require more extensive treatment.
Peace of mind: Knowing your health status through screenings can be a big stress reliever. It allows you to focus on staying healthy and enjoying life.
Think of it as an investment in your future health and well-being. It's a chance to take control and stay proactive about your health.
