Low dose DNP
-
I recall reading ages ago that many issues from DNP came from the half life of 36 hours, meaning that a 24-hr dosage schedule will result in a continuous slight buildup of DNP. Can anyone confirm? Probably much less of an issue at low dosage.
-
@monadology I believe the half life is just over 10 hours. So hopefully would not be an issue if you dosed at the same time everyday and kept doses low. I have ordered and will update when it arrives and I try it. I only ordered a gram and am planning on doing 50mg a day for 20 days. Or perhaps doing 50mg EOD. Will post a log about fat loss/general feeling

@metabolicmilk be careful
also be mindful that DNP causing cataracts is real, theres some nutrient that helps prevent DNP induced cataracts but I forget what it is, you can probably find it if you search for it
I imagine vitamin E would be helpful since its very helpful in preventing regular cataracts (which are largely caused by glycation byproducts iirc, which are ultimately driven by PUFA oxidation)
taurine is also good for preventing cataracts -
@ah thanks for sharing that. I have vitamin E and Taurine on hand. If anyone has any other suggestions they will be most welcome.
Just to clarifying - is it anything particular about DNP that causes cataracts or is it purely the effect of DNP ie burning lots of fat hence lots of PUFA oxidation if that makes sense.
Thanks

@ah would aspirin also then be beneficial?

Check out this lyle mcdonald and this bodybuilding.com thread for more info. Faster for you to read than for me to (poorly) regurgitate. One factor that might affect DNP experience is also carb level in diet, which I presume would be high here.

@thyroidchor27 how much did you take?
-
@monadology thanks for sharing. That was very useful
-
@metabolicmilk 125 a week and then 250 the next, 4 days rest and then go again. Drank coca cola and ate ice cream cause the stress from all the liberated PUFA was spiking my cortisol to insanity levels. For someone who didnt have as much PUFA as me itll probably not be as bad. Atlaest i reduced my PUFA stores by a lot.

@thyroidchor27 thanks for sharing. I will stock up on Coca Cola and Ice cream. Maybe 6 keto p4 aswell. How much weight did you lose in how many days?
-
@metabolicmilk Around 8 kg of fat after a month on it . Could have been more If i didnt do that coca cola ice cream nonsense but I was so stressed and warm I wouldnt have been able to cope. Oh yea I remember also doing high dose progesterone on the days where I couldnt bear the stress and heat, that got me to sleep good.
