What is low-dose naltrexone?

Low-dose naltrexone, or LDN, is a medicine used for various purposes, particularly reducing pain associated with chronic diseases. LDN is structurally similar to naturally occurring endorphins we produce in our body as a pure inhibitor LDN has no narcotic effect.

At low doses, LDN blocks pro-inflammatory cytokines and suppresses TLR receptors, which are a class of proteins that contribute to the inflammation associated with autoimmune conditions. In addition, LDN also increases the natural production of anti-inflammatory endorphins to reduce pain.
