Anorexia Nervosa

Anorexia nervosa is a serious eating disorder marked by severe food restriction, an intense fear of gaining weight, and a distorted body image, and long-term starvation strains the heart, bones, brain, hormones, and immune system. Zinc and a multivitamin-mineral supplement are the ones most often looked at, but little research on them has been reviewed here so far. Because there are no findings to report yet, it is too soon to say what any supplement does for people with this condition.
