The Truth About DNP

Lateralus1

New member
After countless hours of research and two years of extensive use of DNP off and on, I have come to a conclusion: this is one of the most overrated and useless drugs in the bodybuilding scene today.

I have done everything from month-long low-doses (200mg) to short burst cycles starting with 1000mg. So first off, let’s look at some of the side-effects you will experience at the higher end of this dosage range. Anyone who downplays these side-effects needs to first examine the quality of their DNP. I get mine straight from a factory and cap it myself, measuring it exactly. There is no guessing.

 Heat. You’ve all heard this one. You will feel as if you have been swallowed up in the bowels of el Diablo. You will sweat profusely, stain your clothes and sheets yellow, and feel like you have a fever. You need to be in a heavily air-conditioned room all day with superfluous amounts of cold water, or you will jeopardize your health. You will not exercise; you will hope you die to get it over with.

 Respiration. This is probably my most hated one. You will experience a constant shortness of breath. You will feel like you are running a marathon all day even if you do not move at all. You will constantly struggle to catch your breath, but you never will. Good luck falling asleep.

 Nausea. You will have a constant urge to vomit. My saving grace on this one was a drug called Aciphex which helped but did not eliminate the nausea.

 Hunger. You will feel constantly hungry and crave carb-laden foods which will only add gasoline to the fire burning inside. You will be able to eat 3x as much as you normally do, and unless you have willpower of steel, you will eat three times as much and not even realize it. You will get that hypoglycemic feeling often and have to consume large amounts of fructose to quell it.

 Neurochemistry. While I haven’t read significant scientific literature concerning this subject in particular (not that there is much on DNP, we don’t know as much about this drug as we’d like to think we do), from my experience DNP contributes highly to depression. While this may only concern individuals pre-disposed to it, it is still a significant thing to consider.

 Edema. You will feel bloated from water during this whole time and will be discouraged since you are not changing dramatically in the mirror. This will fade roughly five days after ceasing use.

Bottom line: You will feel like utter shit.

Given all this, why would someone still want to use DNP? For the glorified and amazing fat-loss results, right? It’s been made out to be the ultimate fat-loss solution. You know what I say to that? Bullshit. Yes, it works. But to the degree some people make it out to be? No way. You will lose some fat. You will also lose some muscle if you do not concurrently use AAS to counter the catabolism (anyone who refutes this is full of shit and has not used DNP).

The truth of the matter is I can burn more fat and delve into single-digit body fat much, much easier by pure strict diet, lifting weights, and moderate AAS use. On top of all that, I’ll feel like a million bucks as opposed to wanting to commit suicide from all the completely unnecessary side-effects of DNP. I will eat less, be able to be in public without looking like I have serious health problems, have infinitely more energy, have actual mental acuity, and not feel like vomiting all day.

This whole DNP craze needs to stop and people need to examine the reasons why they’re looking for these magic fixes instead of what we ALL know really works: diet, exercise, and AAS.
 
Thats interesting, it sounds like you really took the time to look into it. Thanks for all the presonal testing you did. Im sure it will make others think more about DNP. I know I will.
 
Anything that is used as a pesticide and permanently stains something yellow upon contact is not something I would ever knowlingly put inside my body.

I think a more accurate statement would be:

Most of the side-effects you describe are somewhat exaggerated and would only occur when taking higher doses (~ 800mg/day or more). If you're experiencing more than one or two of these to the degree you describe, you're on the edge of an overdose and should reduce your intake immediately.

Many people have used DNP over the last few years and have found it very effective without experiencing everything you experienced. Where people have run into problems has usually been when they were doing short, intense, high dosage cycles (a bad risk/reward tradeoff IMO). I've run several longer cycles of 200-300mg/day and found them to be very effective with minimal side effects. In fact on 200mg/day , I felt that I could have run it almost indefinitely.

Different drugs affect different people in different ways. Sounds like DNP doesn't agree with you.
 
heat: not everyone. i know several people who deny that it is working since they do not even break a sweat

shortness of breath: some people. others are perfectly normal unless they are doing something physical

nausea: some only experience it around the time of a dose being ingested

hunger: many people are not at all hungry when on dnp. altered eating patterns are common ie some people wont eat carbs at all. others have no apetite.

nuerochemistry: id agree with you on this since low carb diets will do the same. dnp will boot you straight into keto, so yeah, fine.

edema: sure you will feel bloated but dont know why youd be discouraged. i mean, you know whats happening, dont you.

at the end of the day, as the peevious poster has said, it seems taht dnp is a bad agent for you personally. others have had great success. others have had all the sides, and did not lose fat. others died.

i appreciate your post but anectdotal evidence isnt hugely convincing

cheers

I prefaced my commentary on the side-effects by saying that they were referring to the higher-end dosages. While I agree with you that the lose-dose cycle side-effects are of much less severity, I still do not think it is worth it in the least.

And yes, I in no way intended for this to be the DNP Bible for everyone. Obviously things affect people in different ways as you said. However, I always see people regard DNP as some miracle drug, which I do not see it as in the slightest. I figured I'd share my experience with others to give them the other side of the story. They can make their own decisions.
 
well written post lat..
but its clear that dnp has quite an affect on you.

personally, at 400mg a day, i dont feel hunger nor nausea.
nor do i feel depressed.

breathing is somewhat impaired but not to the extent you describe.
the only problem is the heat.
and i live in a VERY warm and ultra humid enviorement...
so the heat fucks with me pretty badly.

i will agree, however, the claims of 'i lost 1 pound a day on dnp' are false.
i've ran numerous cycles of dnp and most fat loss was about 5 pounds per 14 days.

still... 4-5 runs of dnp is 20 pounds of fat.. not bad ill say!
 
DNP is so the most Overrated thing for cutting I ever came across with. I tried it twice. I did the 21 days plan super precise and clean and went up to 800mg of DNP a day, but most of the time I was using 400mg-600mg. Diet was pretty strict, I was super disappointed with this shit. My theory is that like almost everything in medicine, not everything works for everyone. It didn't do shit for me. I loose more weight using normal diet with no cardio than I loose with DNP (go figure!). The DNP I used was the same DNP my bro here used... You'll get better results using Levorex,T-Rex and R-ALA with low carb, high protein, high fat diet.
 
ya, I've used it, it definately does work, however I think a lot of people exaggerate it's 'amazing effects' on fat loss... definately more hype than actual given results.

I have used high dosages and not seen side effects as bad as yours lat, the heat was really the only thing that was slightly annoying to me, but on cold days in the winter, it wasn't too bad :P
 
I won't ever use DNP.

Not that I think it can't be done safely, but there is no need for it unless you are a competitive bodybuilder IMO.
 
well ive done a whole 3 dnp cycles in the last 2 months, and have lost 23lbs. i did it years ago, and got no results worhth a damm. for me, its all about my diet while on it. i love it, usually lose around 7lbs per 7 day 400mg a day cycle. also, for some reason, i never see any bloat, ill be down my first pound the next day, and continue to lose weight till my last couple doses. i just think it works different on some people.

anyways, like the one guy said, it might be the truth for you, but it sure as hell isnt the truth for everyone.

DNP is great, it works well for me and its not NEARLLY as bad as you make it out to me.

Well, as with any substance, half of the problem is the fact that people have unrealistic expectations, and bad information.

Example, with DNP, there has been a LOT of BS info floating around about "how to do it". I mean, the recommendations have been all over the place, One person says to do a diet one, way, and another person say to do in another way. In fact there are some people (and no I won’t mention names) who are quite "respected" (cough) around these parts who were spouting various pieces of advice about DNP, saying it with TOTAL conviction (like he KNEW how to use it) and then it turns out he was SO full of shit and WRONG! He even changed his advice big-time later on.

Anyway, for any drug, you will find people that say it’s great and some that say it sucks. I know guys that did DNP and had good results. They were reasonable, experienced, were every careful about what they did, and got good results. Another guy ate like a pig for 3 weeks on high carbs and took a lot of DNP and didn’t lose anything, felt like hell, and now he says that DNP sucks. Oh well.

So its hard to know what to believe unless you look at the experiences of a lot of people over a long time, and also know a LOT about their TOTAL regimen and level of discipline.

I mean, nothing personal about the poster, this is NOT a slam at him. But any substance could be said to be "overrated". Someone could take 1G a week of Test and sit on his ass and eat ding-dongs and Pepsi all day long, never go to the gym, and say that Test is "overrated".

The biggest problem with DNP is getting a good, reliable source that is dosed correctly.
 
I found that it did what it was supposed to, meaning on a contest type diet I lost bf very fast, but the sides did suck. Its not something I will use regularily, but from time to time I will throw it in

two very accurate statements.

the second being the more dangerous aspect, especially with the crystal version, which is not just sodium bound but a actually different compound, being substituted
