Were can naltrexone, naloxone, and nalmephine be found on a natural state suchas food pruducts?
I would really appretiate if anybody could answer or in any case anybody knoes of any natural opiate blockers. I do relize that this is kind of a hard question but an answer could really be helpful. Thank you
Nowhere.
Opiates in natural plants are their defense against being eaten — they are toxic as hell. Plants have no reason to stock nontoxic antidotes, so they don't.
It is a common mistake to think the "beneficial" substances occur in nature for our benefit. They don't; the organism that has them usually has them for its own selfish reason, occassionally we luck into having them be helpful to us. Most of the time we have to synthesize stuff.
Naltrexone was synthesized in a laboratory in 1963 by Endo Labs as part of the War on Drugs, a $5 million project funded by the US Government. It does not exist in nature. It gained popularity because it could be taken by mouth as opposed to Naloxone (NARCAN) which must be given IV in the ER.
