The Benefits of LDN
LDN taps into the natural endorphin system of our body to deliver an array of benefits that target multiple hallmarks of aging.
Reduces Inflammation-Induced Aging
LDN has been associated with a reduction in the physiological process known as 'inflammaging', potentially promoting a healthier aging process.
Enhances Endorphin Production
LDN may boost your body's natural endorphin production by up to three times, facilitating improved mood and general wellbeing.
Combats Fatigue
Studies have suggested that LDN might alleviate feelings of chronic fatigue, increasing overall energy levels and daily function.
Reduces Chronic Pain
A variety of clinical trials have indicated that LDN can be effective in managing chronic pain, thereby potentially improving patients' quality of life.

Aging Pathways that LDN effects
Chronic inflammation, also known as "inflammaging", is considered a significant factor in the aging process. LDN's ability to fine-tune the immune response can potentially counteract this, offering a pathway to healthier aging.
Understanding
LDN
The science
Taken in low doses, Naltrexone amplifies endogenous opioids for pain relief and well-being, while reducing systemic inflammation, a key aging factor. This dual action makes LDN effective for managing pain, autoimmune conditions, and promoting overall physiological resilience.

How does Healthspan usually dose LDN Longevity Protocol?
Healthspan provides a dosing regimen specific to our patient's biology and based on any chronic issues they are facing. We utilize a specific dosing protocol for autoimmune diseases, chronic pain, fertility, PTSD/Anxiety/Depression, and TBI.

Can I take LDN with my other Healthspan protocols?
Yes, the LDN protocol is complimentary with our existing protocols.

What conditions may benefit from LDN?
While more research is needed, some studies have suggested that LDN might be beneficial for conditions such as fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis, Crohn's disease, and other autoimmune disorders. It's also been studied for chronic pain, and mental health conditions.

Is LDN FDA-approved?
Naltrexone is FDA-approved at higher doses for the treatment of opioid and alcohol dependence. The lower dosage, often used for conditions like fibromyalgia or multiple sclerosis, is not officially FDA-approved but is commonly used off-label.

How long does it take for LDN to work?
The response time to LDN can vary from person to person and depends on the condition being treated. Some people might notice improvements within days, while others might need several weeks to notice a change.
Patient experiences with LDN can be quite diverse, as it is used for a variety of health conditions and everyone's body reacts differently to medications. However, common themes often reported by patients include:
Pain Reduction: Many patients who take LDN for conditions like fibromyalgia or chronic pain syndromes report a noticeable reduction in their pain levels.
Increased Energy: Some patients report an increase in energy levels, potentially related to reduced inflammation and better pain control.
Improved Mood: Due to LDN's mechanism of increasing endorphins (the body's "feel-good" chemicals), some patients report an improvement in their overall mood and well-being.
Reduced Symptoms of Autoimmunity: For those using LDN for autoimmune conditions, some patients notice a reduction in their specific symptoms, such as decreased joint pain in rheumatoid arthritis or less frequent flare-ups in conditions like multiple sclerosis or Crohn's disease.
Better Sleep: Some patients find that they sleep better while taking LDN, although others may initially experience vivid dreams or difficulty sleeping.
Potential Side Effects: While LDN is generally well tolerated, some patients experience side effects like headaches, nausea, or sleep disturbances. These are usually temporary and often resolve as the body adjusts to the medication.

What is LDN?
LDN is a lower dosage of a medication traditionally used to manage opioid addiction and alcohol dependence. At lower doses, it's been researched for a variety of other health conditions due to its potential anti-inflammatory, immune-modulating effects, and it’s ability to reduce chronic pain.

Can I take LDN with other medications?
It's important to discuss all your medications with your healthcare provider before starting LDN. Certain drugs, particularly opioids, can interact with naltrexone.

What are the potential side effects of LDN?
Like all medications, LDN can have side effects, though they are generally considered rare and mild. They can include insomnia, vivid dreams, headache, and potential gastrointestinal upset.

How does LDN work in the body?
LDN is believed to work by briefly obstructing opioid receptors, which prompts the body to increase production of endorphins and enkephalins (natural painkillers and mood elevators). It may also help regulate the immune system and reduce inflammation.
