Can uridine improve anorexia treatment?

New research demonstrates that uridine supplementation increases hunger. But, is increasing hunger enough to improve anorexia nervosa treatment?

Key Points:

• Uridine is a biological substance that regulates food consumption and feelings of hunger.

• While uridine has been shown to increase hunger and food consumption in healthy humans, its effects have not been tested in people with anorexia.

• Previous research suggests that uridine alone is unlikely to improve anorexia treatment; additional therapeutic approaches will be needed.
