Low-dose naltrexone (LDN) provides a temporary blockade of opioid receptors resulting in a rebound effect, yielding an increase in endorphin production. This boost in endorphins promotes healing, regulates immunity, provides pain relief, and reduces inflammation. Therapeutic benefits of LDN are evident in autoimmune diseases, gastrointestinal disorders, chronic pain, mental health challenges, and inflammation.
