Some of the information is repetitive. The more you know, the better. There is no way of sugar coating this: DNP CAN AND WILL KILL YOU if you are not informed. Read and read some more. NOTHING is worth your life. Diet and train and you will achieve results. Quick fixes are NOT the SOLUTION. However, as a mod, it is my job to keep you informed and to steer you right. Be safe and be wise.
This thread is being written solely only to make people understand about DNP. It comes as a result of my understanding and research of this product. This thread by no means even comes close to how this compound should be used. I do not promote the use this product. I may have made mistakes in writing this thread, if so please feel free to correct me and educate me better.
So is there an age limit to use DNP.
Yes there is. Anyone under 21 with less that 4 years of intense weight training and supplementation experience should NOT do DNP. There are a number of alternatives to DNP, that are readily available in the market today. Please start with them before even considering to READ this thread.
I've tried everything,nothing worked, now I have to try DNP.
No! This qualifies as the first point for some one who should NOT use DNP. DNP is not for people who do not know how to lose weight with diet and cardio. DNP is not for people who have not tried the EC stack. DNP is not for morbidly obese people. DNP is not for people who want to lose a dress size or fit into new clothes.
Ok what exactly is so special about DNP?
2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP), an uncoupler of oxidative phosphorylation is coincident with an increase in glycolytic activity.
Everyone is talking about it as an uncoupler?
Uncouplers are a wide range of chemically unrelated compounds that inhibit mitochondrial ATP synthesis but are often observed to stimulate the rate of electron transport.
DNP is an uncoupler, and has the ability to separate the flow of electrons and the pumping of hydrogen ions for ATP synthesis. The mechanism of action of DNP is believed to inhibit the formation of ATP by uncoupling oxidative phosphorylation.
Ok now in english please....
The energy that is stored in the molecules are transferred to the ATP molecule, but DNP disrupts this process. Instead of making ATP from macromolecules in the presence of DNP, the potential energy is just turned into heat. This is very significant because ATP levels in the body will quickly diminish and cells want to replenish that storage by breaking down more fats, carbs.
I dont understand, why does it need carbs to work then?
When fatty acids are broken down they need to be fed into an energy cycle for a complete break down so that more can be broken down later. The beginning of this cycle is called the citric acid cycle. Fats enter the citric acid cycle as a 2-carbon molecule called acetate and to start off this cycle it needs to bind to another 2-carbon molecule called oxaloacetate.
The cycle cannot go on without oxaloacetate. With little oxaloacetate this cycle is slowed down, thus fat burning is slowed down.
Primary source for oxaloacetate is PYRUVATE.
This is not to say the more carbs we eat the more pyruvate we can generate, therefore the more fat is burned. We only need adequate levels of pyruvate to supply the citric acid cycle of the necessary starting material for fat to enter, and then it will eventually proceed to be completely oxidized in the electron transport chain.
So what do I need for my cycle?
alpha lipoic acid
magnesium
vitamin C
vitamin E
selenium.
calcium
Melatonin.
zinc
potassium gluconate
Taurine
Glutamine
glycerol
Pyruviate
Ephidrine
Caffine
Thats a lot of stuff , do I really need this much?
Here is why you need them
ALA:
ALA is a sulfur bearing compound with antioxidant properties. It plays a role in energy metabolism. ALA amplifies the ability of other antioxidants to combat free redicals and enhance recovery. Also may enhance insulin sensitivity, improving the body's ability to add lean mass and reduce fat.
Potassium Gluconoate Keeps strength up and battle muscle cramps!
Phytochemicals :
Morin, Luteolin, Quercetin, Kaempferol and Reservatol are especially good at supressing Sugars from being metabolized (not to mention their life-extentioning abilities and positive effects on Lipid Levels and Cardiac Function).
Fisetin, Myrecetin, Baicalein, Galangin however are far less effective
Grapeseedextract inhibits fatcells from growing instead of inhibiting sugars being metabolized like the other phytochemicals
Reservatol:
Which frees a lot of fatty acids from stubborn fat, imitates caloric restriction and actually kills fatcells to a degree!
Not to mention its sex-boosting properties, its lifespan enhancing ability and the fact that it pumps your muscles full of Anti-oxidants
Selenium is incorporated into proteins to make selenoproteins, which are important antioxidant enzymes. The antioxidant properties of selenoproteins help prevent cellular damage from free radicals. Free radicals are natural by-products of oxygen metabolism that may contribute to the development of chronic diseases such as cancer and heart disease . Other selenoproteins help regulate thyroid function and play a role in the immune system
Melatonin is secreted by the pineal gland in the brain and is important in the regulation of many hormones in the body. Among its key roles, melatonin controls the body's circadian rhythm, an internal 24-hour time-keeping system that plays an important role in when we fall asleep and when we wake up. Darkness stimulates the release of melatonin and light suppresses its activity. Hence its most effective taken before sleep.
Taurine is a conditionally-essential amino acid which is not utilized in protein synthesis, but rather is found free or in simple peptides. Metabolic actions of taurine include: bile acid conjugation, detoxification, membrane stabilization, osmoregulation, and modulation of cellular calcium levels.
Due to its ability to neutralize hypochlorous acid, a potent oxidizing substance, taurine is able to attenuate DNA damage caused by aromatic amine compounds in vitro.
Hence, taurine is an antioxidant that specifically mediates the chloride ion and hypochlorous acid concentration, and protects the body from potentially toxic effects of aldehyde release
Ketotifen or Benadryl
>As Anti-histamine (for Allergies)
>As sleeping Aid (take before bed!)
>Upgrading the Fatcell receptors
>Keeping the ECY effective (during longer runs like 30 days)
Ok I've got my list set up, shall I just start DNP.
NO! to maximise its effect, carb deplete for a week. Then on day 7 load your body with carbs. Makes sense does'nt it, DNP works on carbs, you deplete it for a week and throw in DNP along with carbs, DNP burns all the fat. Carb deplete for 3 days prior to DNP because DNP will take a good 2-3 days to deplete the body's glycogen stores before it can efficiently burn stored fat.
How should my diet look on DNP?
Novice users and first timers should stick to isocaloric diets for week 1 33% pcf and 55C 35P 10F thereon.
So how do I run a cycle.
2 forms of DNP currently on the market, pure crystalline (100% dry) DNP, and powdered DNP (usually 5-10% moisture).
The crystalline version is costlier stronger and more effective, but more caution needs to be used while using it. It acts much faster, and the side effects also subside faster as well.
Recommended doses for dnp 2-6mg/kg-bw per day for crystalline DNP.
The powdered version is a bit weaker as it contains moisture, hence reducing its effectivenss. Powdered versions are cheaper but it works out to effectively the same price for the level of effectiveness.
Recommended doses for 4-10mg/kg-bw for powdered DNP.
As with any new powerful compounds during first time use, this compound should be started at its lowest dose and then worked its way up till an effective dosage is reached.
Can I get a sample first DNP cycle.
For first timers I would not recommend anything more than a 12 day cycle.
Day 1-7 EC (dosages based on weight and bf%)
Day 7-12 DNP 200mg E-75mg C 600mg
Day 13-20 DNP 400mg E-100mg C 800mg
Day 21-24 Continue E/C
Day 15 Start either Keitofen or Benadryl.
