After a hiatus from this site, I just saw this thread and read all 21 pages. I did notice that SL never did mention where he sources the DNP, China or otherwise. I would be interested to know because, depending upon the ultimate source, there can be some heavy metals in it.
Lots of great discussion about how to dose it and sides, but I was surprised that no one mentioned the possibility of peripheral neuropathy (PN).
I have never tried SL's product. However, I'm doing a run now, and I have done two others in the past. The first in Jan 2018 was super successful. The second, last july, was 12 days. Each time I dropped about 0.5 pounds per day on average. The second time, however, I quit it early because it felt very different than the first.
The first run, I had all the normally reported symptoms, especially night sweating. The second time, there was none of that, just a lot of nausea, diarrhea, headaches, lots of flu like symptoms, even though I was taking caps from the same order as the prior run.
This time, I started May 1 at 250mg per day. I pretty much feel nothing, but I'm not anxious to double the dosage after last time. I may add a 250mg cap every other day, or I may discontinue for a week and restart. I managed to catch a nasty cold two days ago. Decisions decisions...
Anyhow I'll probably pick up some 200mg caps from SL and see how well those work for me.
