xiv. Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN)
An innovative, off-label use of naltrexone that has powerful immune-modulating and anti-inflammatory properties.
At low doses, Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) works to enhance the body's endorphin and enkephalin levels, supporting immune balance and reducing chronic inflammation. Its unique mechanism makes it a promising therapy for autoimmune conditions, chronic pain, and even mood regulation.
Originally approved for opioid addiction at much higher doses, its profound impact on immune function and inflammation was discovered when used at much lower doses - typically between 0.5mg and 4.5mg per day.
