LOW DOSE NALTREXONE · WELLNESS
A Gentle Boost for Your Immune System
Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) is a well-tolerated therapy that works with your body’s own chemistry. For many people with autoimmune conditions or chronic fatigue, it’s been a quiet game-changer.
WHAT IT IS
What Is Low Dose Naltrexone?
At low doses, naltrexone gently and briefly blocks your opioid receptors, creating a rebound effect that prompts your body to produce more of its own endorphins — including Opioid Growth Factor (OGF), an important regulator of immune cells.
Because it’s a pure inhibitor, there’s no narcotic effect. Its chemical structure is almost identical to met-enkephalin, a peptide your body makes naturally. Many people with autoimmune disease have low levels of these endorphins — and LDN helps restore them.
What to Know
- Pure inhibitor — no narcotic effect
- Typical dose around 4.5 mg per day, tailored to you
- Supports your body's own endorphin production
- Low-cost and generally well-tolerated
- Available for autoimmune thyroid and other conditions
HOW IT WORKS
How It Works
🔬
1. Evaluate
We review your history and conditions to determine whether LDN is a good fit for you.
⚖️
2. Dose Carefully
Most research uses about 4.5 mg per day; in practice doses range widely. We start low and tailor it to you.
🛡️
3. Support Immunity
LDN’s brief receptor blockade prompts a rebound — more endorphins, more OGF, and increased OGF receptors that help regulate immune cells.
WHO IT'S FOR
Commonly Used For
- Autoimmune conditions, including Hashimoto's thyroid disease
- Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and myalgic encephalomyelitis
- Multiple sclerosis
- Other conditions linked to immune dysregulation
THE BENEFITS
Why Patients Consider LDN
- Works with your body's natural chemistry
- No narcotic effect
- Generally well-tolerated
- A low-cost option
- May help calm unwanted immune reactions
QUESTIONS
LDN FAQ
How does LDN work?
Given at a low dose, naltrexone briefly blocks opioid receptors. That creates a rebound effect, prompting your body to produce more endorphins — including Opioid Growth Factor — which help regulate your immune cells.
What dose is used?
Most research studies use about 4.5 mg per day. In clinical practice, doses range more widely, so we tailor yours to your needs and response.
What is LDN used for?
It’s most commonly used for autoimmune conditions — including autoimmune thyroid disease — as well as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, multiple sclerosis and other conditions linked to immune dysregulation.
Is it addictive or sedating?
No. LDN is a pure inhibitor with no narcotic effect. Its structure is nearly identical to a peptide your body already makes naturally.
Could LDN Help You?
If you’re living with an autoimmune condition or unexplained fatigue, ask whether Low Dose Naltrexone is right for you. Book a consultation with Dr. Hall.
