The question whether AMH (anti-Müllerian hormone) can aid weight loss lacks scientific support. AMH is a well-established marker for ovarian reserve in women, but it is not used for weight management. The provided context contains no evidence linking AMH to weight loss. Direct-to-consumer tests that promote AMH as a 'metabolic or weight-loss marker' are not evidence-based. Body weight regulation involves a complex interplay of hormones such as leptin, ghrelin, insulin, and thyroid hormones – not AMH. Even if AMH is measured as part of a hormone panel, it should not be used to guide weight loss interventions. Clinical studies on AMH and obesity are scarce and show at most weak correlations without causal or therapeutic relevance. Consumers should be wary of marketing claims. Effective weight loss relies on caloric deficit, physical activity, and medically supervised approaches when needed. AMH testing is reserved for fertility assessment, not weight management. The evidence level is therefore best described as unclear to marketing-driven.
