Have any supplements been studied for anorexia nervosa?

    Last Updated: October 25, 2023

    A few studies have explored cannabinoids as part of a treatment plan for anorexia, but only a synthetic cannabinoid (dronabinol) led to a small amount of weight gain, whereas other substances caused adverse effects without improving weight status. Based on the current evidence, cannabinoids aren’t recommended.[1]
