What is Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) ?
Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) is a compounded medication that has gained attention for its potential role in supporting individuals with autoimmune disorders. Unlike its traditional use in higher doses for opioid addiction treatment, LDN is prescribed at much lower doses to help modulate the immune system, reduce inflammation, and support overall well-being.
How Does LDN Work?
LDN works by temporarily blocking opioid receptors, which stimulates the body’s natural production of endorphins and enkephalins—hormones that play a crucial role in immune function, pain regulation, and inflammation control. This response may help regulate an overactive immune system, making it a promising option for individuals dealing with chronic inflammatory and autoimmune conditions.

LDN and Autoimmune Disorders
Autoimmune diseases occur when the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy cells, leading to chronic inflammation and tissue damage. LDN is believed to help by reducing this inflammatory response and promoting immune balance. While research is still ongoing, many patients and healthcare providers have explored LDN as part of a comprehensive treatment approach for autoimmune conditions. Here are some examples of disorders we can help with:
Benefits of Low Dose Naltrexone
- Modulates the Immune System – Helps restore balance in overactive immune responses.
- Reduces Chronic Inflammation – May alleviate symptoms related to autoimmune flare-ups.
- Supports Pain Management – Endorphin release can naturally help with discomfort and stiffness.
- Enhances Energy & Well-Being – Patients often report improvements in mood, sleep, and overall vitality.
Customizing LDN for Your Needs
Since LDN is not commercially available in lower doses, it must be specially compounded by a compounding pharmacy. Dosages can be customized to meet each patient’s specific needs.
