"Naltrexone is an opioid receptor antagonist, meaning it binds to opioid receptors in cells"
"Low-dose naltrexone refers to doses at about 1/10th the size of the dose used normally."
"One hypothesis behind low-dose naltrexone's mechanism of action is that inhibiting opioid receptors at low doses might cause the body to increase production of endorphins and upregulate the immune system."
