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.

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

Peptid AI is an educational and self-tracking tool — not a medical service, and not a vendor. Nothing here is medical advice, a prescription, or an endorsement. Doses reflect what is commonly reported in research literature; they are not recommendations. Many compounds listed are experimental, not approved for human use, and/or controlled substances that are illegal to possess without a prescription in many countries.
