Low dose naltrexone (LDN) is a promising treatment with the potential to help a variety of conditions and improve the immune system. While it is still being studied, there is growing evidence that this prescription medication can help with several chronic illnesses. Naltrexone is approved for the treatment of opioid addiction. “Low Dose” Naltrexone refers to the use of a dosage that is much lower than that used to treat opioid addiction. Usually the dose is around 1/10 of the dosage used to treat addiction. At this lower level dose, the medication acts much differently than at the higher dose.

Naltrexone is now used off-label by physicians trying to improve the quality of life of their patients who have chronic illness. A chronic illness that is not curable, like multiple sclerosis, requires long-term, comprehensive care with constant maintenance of symptoms. A medication that works for one patient may not work well for another patient. Since even small improvements in quality of life can be important to someone suffering from a chronic illness, specially compounded medications like LDN are used as an alternative option.

Our low dose Naltrexone can be made with Veggie capsules, free of fillers, dyes, sugar, preservatives, and gluten.
