Low Dose Naltrexone for Autoimmune Support | Elixium Health

Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) is a therapy that involves taking Naltrexone at a lower dose to help modulate the immune system, reduce chronic inflammation, and manage pain. It’s used to treat autoimmune conditions and chronic pain disorders like fibromyalgia and multiple sclerosis.

Unlike regular Naltrexone, which is used to treat addiction at higher doses, Low Dose Naltrexone works by stimulating the body’s natural healing processes. At lower doses, it helps modulate the immune system and reduce inflammation, making it beneficial for autoimmune disorders and chronic pain.

LDN is suitable for individuals dealing with autoimmune diseases, chronic pain, or inflammation. It’s often used for conditions like fibromyalgia, Crohn’s disease, multiple sclerosis, and other inflammatory disorders. A healthcare consultation and evaluation are recommended to determine eligibility.

LDN is typically taken as an oral medication, usually in pill form, once daily. The dosage is typically lower than traditional Naltrexone, and your healthcare provider will help determine the proper dosage and timing for you.

Many people notice improvements in pain management, sleep quality, and overall energy levels within 3–4 weeks of starting LDN. Full benefits may take a few months to appear, especially in reducing inflammation and improving autoimmune symptoms.

Yes. LDN is generally considered safe for long-term use, as it works by supporting the body's natural healing processes without the risk of addiction or major side effects. Your healthcare provider will monitor your progress and adjust dosages as needed.
