DNP=DANGEROUS, high dose aspirin instead?
-
Every xeet that so much as mentions DNP will invariably have someone commenting "omg don't take DNP it's deadly, you should just take high dose aspirin instead; it's much safer."
That said, how high of a dose of aspirin do you need to get anything near what a tiny dose of DNP does for fat loss, hyperthermia? I have taken as much as 5-6g/day of aspirin for a week with no such effects. One night I noticed my feet sweating a bit more than normal but nothing close to what I read about DNP.

@grymsky90210 if you take 5-6g of aspirin with no effects for days, then you don‘t need it, for uncoupling-like effects at least, and that also implies you probably don’t need other uncoupling agents or DNP. There comes a point where most interventions are just not necessary anymore, just like a euthyroid person doesn’t really profit from a thyroid supplement, a normal metabolism doesn’t noticeably profit from aspirin. Not to say there aren’t beneficial effects though. I think it‘s helpful to stop thinking about substances like DNP in categories of „good“ or „bad“, and start thinking about them as useful or not, and that depends on your goals. If you want to shred to 4% bodyfat, then yes, DNP is useful. If you want to increase uncoupling, induce hyperthermia and that‘s it, DNP is not as useful as other substances. Honey + pyrucet might do the job just as well without risk.

DNP's main problem is the quality. Since it's an illegal substance and is much harder to obtain compared to the more mainstream PEDs, your only options are either chinese/indian manufactured stuffs with nonexistent quality control or some locally produced DNPs made in some underground lab where they messed up the dosings. As for aspirin, i think you need upwards around 6-8 grams or something plus high sugar to mimic some of the effects of DNP, though i think you must also supplement a copious amount of K2 to prevent intestinal bleeding.

I remember seeing somewhere that aspirin combined with caffeine could, with ideal dosing produce effects around ~75% of the potency of DNP, but that was a while ago and I don't know where I saw it. Probably Twitter, though I have an inking haidut spoke about it on the old forum at some point.
I think it was 1g caffeine combined with 1.5-2g of aspirin per day, though obviously not all at once, more spread out.
Obviously depends on bodyweight, the gnomelings probably need less -
@Juri yeah it would be for fat loss. It’s not that I dont feel any effects of aspirin, just nothing like how people describe DNP.

It does suck, I've ran it once and you get extremely hot. I made the mistake of taking it during summer so nights were terrible, I had to sleep with a towel underneath myself to absorb the sweat.
I wouldn't recommend it, people have died of overheating from it. If you were to try it though, now's the best time since the weather is fairly cold, so it would balance out with the heat you generate.
