How to Increase AMH Level Naturally
A low AMH level cannot be reliably increased through diet or supplements, and no natural method has been proven to restore lost ovarian reserve. However, a balanced diet, correcting vitamin deficiencies, and avoiding smoking can support reproductive health. Learn what the evidence says about CoQ10, vitamin D, DHEA, and other supplements, and what to do if your AMH is low or high.

A low anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) result can raise questions about fertility, egg freezing, and your chances of getting pregnant. You may be wondering whether diet, supplements, or lifestyle changes can help increase your AMH levels naturally.
Currently, no natural method has been proven to reliably increase ovarian reserve or restore the eggs lost with age. Some lifestyle changes can support reproductive health, and certain supplements are being studied for their potential effects on ovarian function. However, improving your general health is not the same as increasing the number of eggs remaining in your ovaries.
This article explains what AMH measures, what research says about natural approaches and supplements, and what your options may be if your AMH is low or high.
How Can I Increase Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) Levels?
You cannot reliably increase ovarian reserve through diet, exercise, or supplements. However, you can support your reproductive health, address nutritional deficiencies, and investigate factors that may affect your AMH result.
| Approach | What you should know |
|---|---|
| Balanced diet | Supports overall health but is not proven to increase AMH |
| Vitamin D | Correcting a deficiency may be beneficial; an AMH increase is not guaranteed |
| CoQ10 | Studied for ovarian response and egg-related outcomes, but evidence remains limited |
| DHEA | Has been studied in fertility patients, but current evidence does not support routine use to improve fertility outcomes. |
| Regular exercise | Supports general health but is not an established AMH treatment |
| Avoiding smoking | Supports reproductive health and reduces exposure to a known reproductive risk |
| Healthy sleep and stress management | Support well-being but are not proven ways to raise AMH |
AMH is mainly used to estimate ovarian reserve and predict the likely response to ovarian stimulation during IVF. It is not a direct measure of egg quality or a reliable standalone predictor of natural conception. [1, 2]
What Is AMH, and Why Does It Matter?
Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is produced by cells surrounding small developing follicles in the ovaries. Its blood level provides an estimate of ovarian reserve, or the remaining supply of eggs.
AMH generally declines with age. Fertility specialists use it alongside other information, such as age, antral follicle count (AFC), medical history, and other test results, to help plan fertility treatment.
A low AMH result does not automatically mean you cannot get pregnant naturally. It may indicate that fewer eggs are likely to be retrieved during IVF, but it does not independently determine whether pregnancy is possible.
How to Improve AMH Levels Naturally: 5 Practical Steps
If you want to know how to improve low AMH levels naturally, focus on habits that support your health rather than trying to reach a particular laboratory number.
1. Eat a Balanced, Nutrient-Rich Diet
A varied diet can provide the nutrients your body needs for general and reproductive health. However, no specific food has been proven to increase AMH or rebuild ovarian reserve.
| Food group | Examples |
|---|---|
| Vegetables and fruit | Leafy greens, berries, citrus fruits |
| Protein sources | Eggs, fish, beans, lentils |
| Whole grains | Oats, brown rice, whole-grain bread |
| Healthy fats | Olive oil, nuts, seeds, oily fish |
A Mediterranean-style eating pattern is one practical option. Treat it as a way to support overall health, not as a treatment for low AMH.
2. Check Your Vitamin D Level
Vitamin D has been studied in relation to AMH and ovarian function, but the results are inconsistent. Taking vitamin D does not guarantee that your AMH will rise.
If you have a deficiency or a reason to suspect one, ask your healthcare professional whether testing and supplementation are appropriate. Avoid high doses without medical advice.
3. Avoid Smoking
Smoking is associated with adverse reproductive effects. If you smoke, quitting is a meaningful step toward protecting your reproductive health, even if your AMH result does not change.
4. Maintain a Healthy Weight and Exercise Regularly
Regular physical activity and a sustainable eating pattern support general health. There is no specific exercise routine that has been shown to reliably increase AMH.
Avoid extreme exercise or inadequate food intake, which can disrupt menstrual function in some people.
5. Review Your Medications and Fertility Plans
Long-term hormonal contraceptive use can temporarily lower measured AMH and antral follicle count (AFC) in some patients. This does not necessarily mean that the ovaries have lost more eggs. If your AMH result is unexpectedly low while using hormonal contraception, tell your fertility specialist. They may recommend repeating the assessment after an appropriate interval to obtain a more accurate picture of your ovarian reserve. Do not stop prescribed contraception without medical advice.
If you are trying to conceive, consider your age, menstrual history, and overall fertility assessment rather than waiting for AMH to increase before seeking advice.
Best Supplements for Low AMH: What Does the Evidence Say?
Several supplements have been studied in women with diminished ovarian reserve. Some research suggests possible benefits for selected fertility outcomes, but results vary, and no supplement has been established as a reliable way to restore ovarian reserve.
| Supplement | What research suggests | Main limitation |
|---|---|---|
| CoQ10 | Studied for ovarian response and reproductive outcomes | Does not reliably restore ovarian reserve |
| Vitamin D | May be useful when a deficiency is present | An increase in AMH is not assured |
| DHEA | Investigated in selected fertility patients | ESHRE does not recommend DHEA before or during ovarian stimulation for low or normal responders. Discuss any potential use with your fertility specialist. |
| NAC | Studied in different reproductive conditions | Evidence for treating low AMH specifically is insufficient |
| Inositol | Commonly studied in women with PCOS | Not a general treatment for low AMH |
| Melatonin and other antioxidants | Investigated for possible reproductive benefits | Not established treatments for increasing AMH |
A 2025 systematic review and meta-analysis examined 16 studies involving 2,773 participants and reported a modest pooled increase in AMH with certain oral supplements. However, the studies used different interventions, and the findings do not establish that a particular ingredient or commercial product will work for every patient. [3]
Are Fertility Supplements Like Impryl and WeNatal Worth Trying?
Products such as Impryl and WeNatal Egg Quality+ are marketed for reproductive or egg-health support. Their ingredients and supporting evidence differ, and marketing claims should not be confused with proof that a finished product increases AMH.
Before choosing a supplement, ask your fertility specialist:
- Is there evidence for my specific diagnosis and AMH level?
- Could it interact with my medication or affect planned fertility treatment?
- What benefits can reasonably be expected, and what are the risks?
Do not start DHEA or high-dose supplements on your own. A supplement that is appropriate for one fertility patient may not be suitable for another.
Can AMH Levels Increase in 30, 60, or 90 Days?
There is no scientifically established 30-, 60-, or 90-day plan for naturally increasing AMH. Some supplement studies have followed participants over several months, but their results do not establish a reliable timeline for increasing ovarian reserve.
AMH results can also vary because of laboratory methods, biological variation, and hormonal contraception. If a result is unexpected, ask your clinician whether repeating the test is appropriate and whether the same laboratory method should be used.
A higher result on a later test does not necessarily mean that your ovaries have gained eggs. Your overall fertility assessment is more informative than a change in AMH alone. [1, 2]
What Should You Do If Your AMH Is Low?
A low AMH result can be worrying, but it does not automatically mean you cannot get pregnant naturally.
Your next steps may include:
- Reviewing the result alongside your age and medical history.
- Considering an antral follicle count ultrasound and other tests if recommended.
- Discussing your pregnancy plans and how long you have been trying to conceive.
- Asking whether you should consult a fertility specialist now rather than waiting for AMH to increase.
- If IVF is being considered, discussing the likely ovarian response and available treatment options.
AMH is useful for estimating the number of eggs that may be obtained during ovarian stimulation. It is not a standalone fertility test and should not be used by itself to deny access to fertility treatment. [2]
How to Reduce High AMH Levels Naturally
High AMH can be associated with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), but AMH alone cannot diagnose the condition. Its interpretation depends on your symptoms, menstrual patterns, ultrasound findings, and other clinical information.
There is no established natural method for lowering AMH that is appropriate for everyone. The goal should be to understand the reason for the result rather than simply reduce the number.
If you have irregular periods, acne, excess facial hair, or other possible signs of PCOS, speak with your healthcare professional about an appropriate assessment. If PCOS is diagnosed, treatment should focus on your symptoms, metabolic health, and reproductive goals rather than AMH alone. [1]
Frequently Asked Questions
How can I increase my AMH levels naturally?
No natural method has been proven to reliably increase ovarian reserve. A balanced diet, avoiding smoking, regular exercise, and correcting nutritional deficiencies can support general health, but they do not guarantee higher AMH.
Can food increase AMH levels?
No specific food has been proven to raise AMH. A balanced diet supports nutritional health, but claims that particular fruits, seeds, or diets increase ovarian reserve are not established.
Can I increase AMH naturally in Tamil or Hindi?
The medical advice is the same regardless of language: no food, home remedy, or supplement has been proven to reliably restore ovarian reserve. A qualified fertility professional can explain your results in Tamil, Hindi, or your preferred language.
Does low AMH mean I cannot get pregnant?
No. Low AMH does not automatically mean natural pregnancy is impossible. Age, ovulation, sperm health, fallopian tube function, and other factors also influence the chance of pregnancy.
Can supplements increase AMH?
Some studies suggest that selected supplements may influence AMH or other fertility outcomes in certain patients. However, the evidence does not support a universal supplement recommendation or guarantee an increase in AMH. Discuss potential benefits and risks with your clinician.
Should I try to increase AMH before IVF?
Not necessarily. AMH helps predict ovarian response during IVF, but trying to raise the number before treatment may delay care without a proven benefit. Your fertility specialist can help determine the most appropriate timing and treatment plan.
The Bottom Line
If you are searching for how to increase AMH level naturally, focus on what you can control: eat a balanced diet, avoid smoking, exercise sensibly, and address nutritional deficiencies with professional guidance. Supplements such as CoQ10 and DHEA have been studied, but none is a guaranteed way to restore ovarian reserve.
Most importantly, do not let a low AMH result alone determine your expectations about pregnancy. Interpret it alongside your age, overall fertility assessment, and reproductive goals.
