The company is also adding a new feature to its app that surfaces information about hormonal changes during menstrual cycles.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The startup said the panel includes 11 blood biomarkers that can give insights into aspects such as cycle regulation and hormonal transitions: Anti-M\u00fcllerian Hormone (AMH), Progesterone, Prolactin, and Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies (TPOAb), Free T4, Free T3, Leptin, Vitamin B12 (Cobalamin), Folate, Magnesium, and Phosphate (as Phosphorus). <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company claims measuring these biomarkers will help users understand more about perimenopause, thyroid function, nutrient sufficiency, and bone metabolic resilience, when paired with data on activity, sleep, and recovery. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><span class=\"wp-element-caption__text\">Image Credits: Whoop<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The test will be available to users for purchase from next month.
