DNP (2,4-Dinitrophenol)
A mitochondrial uncoupler that forces the body to burn energy as heat, producing dramatic fat loss. It is extremely dangerous, with a narrow margin between an effective dose and a lethal one.
- Half-life
- 1.0 d
- Out of system
- ~5 days
- Route
- Oral
- Level
- Advanced
Daily dosing holds steady levels. After the last dose, roughly 97% has cleared in ~5 days (five half-lives) — the window that matters for washouts, bloodwork and surgery.
What DNP (2,4-Dinitrophenol) is used for
- Produces dramatic fat loss by uncoupling mitochondrial energy production
- Effective at low milligram amounts due to its potency
How it's typically used
Harm-reduction sources describe amounts around 250 mg daily as a documented ceiling many consider too risky to attempt, reported here as information and never as a recommendation.
What to watch for
- EXTREMELY DANGEROUS — the margin between an effective and a fatal dose is very narrow
- Causes fatal hyperthermia; documented deaths from overheating are well recorded
- No antidote exists once a toxic dose is taken, and overheating can be irreversible
- Banned for human consumption and not approved for any medical use; possession for ingestion is illegal in many countries

- This is the least-characterised corner of the atlas. Read the full guide, and treat anything without published human data as exactly that.
