Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN)
What is Low Dose Naltrexone?
LDN stands for Low Dose Naltrexone. Naltrexone was approved by the FDA in 1984. At a high dose of 50 mg, it is used to help opium addicts by blocking opioid receptors and therefore blocking the effects of opioids.
Today, physicians and patients are testing the effects of a much smaller dose, as low as 0.5 mg or below, of Naltrexone to provide immune defenses against a wide variety of diseases.
