The Growing Interest in Low Dose Naltrexone

Published 4 days ago • 1 min read

Low Dose Naltrexone (often called LDN) has become one of the most talked-about compounded therapies in the wellness and chronic illness space. But what makes it so different?

Originally developed in much higher doses for addiction treatment, LDN uses a much smaller dose, typically around 1.5–4.5 mg, and is being explored for its potential role in supporting inflammation balance, immune function, discomfort, fatigue, and overall wellness.

What’s especially interesting is that researchers believe LDN may work differently than traditional medications. Instead of simply masking symptoms, studies suggest it may help calm overactive inflammatory signaling in the body and nervous system.

Another reason patients are drawn to LDN? It is generally well tolerated and customized specifically for the individual through compounding. The most commonly reported side effect in studies was vivid dreams, which often improved over time.

At Powell Pharmacy, we believe personalized care matters. Our compounding team works closely with patients and providers to create customized LDN formulations tailored to individual needs and wellness goals.

Questions about Low Dose Naltrexone? Our pharmacists are here to answer your questions and help you better understand how LDN is being used in personalized, prevention-focused care.

Your Body Listens to Your Environment

We often think about health as the supplements we take, the foods we eat, or how much we exercise but our everyday environment matters too. New research published in the Journal of the Endocrine Society found that exposure to PFAS (“forever chemicals”) during childhood may negatively impact bone development during adolescence.

Sunscreen, Simplified

With sunny days ahead, sunscreen becomes a daily essential but not all sunscreens are created equal. The two main types you’ll see are mineral (physical) and chemical sunscreens. Mineral sunscreens use ingredients like Zinc oxide and Titanium dioxide to sit on top of the skin and reflect UV rays. Chemical sunscreens, on the other hand, absorb into the skin and use ingredients like Oxybenzone, Avobenzone, and Octinoxate to absorb UV radiation and convert it into heat. While both can be...
