What is Low Dose Naltrexone?
Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) is a revolutionary approach to using naltrexone, typically prescribed at doses between 0.5mg to 4.5mg per day. At these microdoses, naltrexone acts completely differently than at standard doses, offering unique therapeutic benefits.
While naltrexone at standard doses (50mg) blocks opioid receptors to treat addiction, LDN at low doses briefly blocks these receptors, triggering your body to produce more natural endorphins and regulate immune responses.
LDN vs Standard Naltrexone
How LDN Works in Your Body
Understanding the science behind LDN's powerful effects on immune function and pain management.
1. Temporary Receptor Blocking
LDN briefly blocks opioid receptors for 2-4 hours, signaling your body that endorphin levels are low.
2. Endorphin Upregulation
Your body responds by producing more natural endorphins and enkephalins, creating a rebound effect.
3. Immune Modulation
Increased endorphins help regulate immune system function, reducing inflammation and supporting healing.
Key Mechanisms of Action
Neuroinflammation Reduction
LDN may suppress microglial cell activity in the brain and central nervous system, decreasing inflammatory cytokines.
- Reduced IL-1β and TNF-α
- Decreased microglial activation
- Enhanced neuroprotection
Immune System Balance
By modulating endorphin production, LDN may help restore immune function, reducing autoimmune responses while maintaining protective immunity.
- Th1/Th2 balance support
- Regulatory T-cell support
- Reduced autoimmune activity
Conditions LDN May Help
Research explores LDN across chronic conditions involving immune dysfunction and inflammation.
Fibromyalgia
Trials suggest pain reduction and improved quality of life in many patients using LDN.
Autoimmune Disorders
MS, RA, Lupus, and Crohn's disease reports indicate potential symptom improvements.
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Many patients report increased energy and reduced post-exertional symptoms.
Depression & Anxiety
Endorphin enhancement may support mood stabilization for some individuals.
Long COVID Symptoms
Emerging evidence suggests support for fatigue, brain fog, and inflammatory symptoms.
Chronic Pain & Inflammation
