Implication

Exploratory clinical trial shows thiamine improves BMI and mood in anorexia nervosa patients, suggesting potential benefits.

Key Points

  • Intramuscular thiamine supplementation significantly improved body mass index in anorexia nervosa patients.
  • Patients with anorexia nervosa experienced notable improvements in appetite and depressive symptoms.
  • The 6-week clinical trial included 13 anorexia nervosa patients and 14 controls, emphasizing safety and feasibility.
  • While thiamine showed positive clinical effects, results should be interpreted cautiously due to the small sample size.
