DNP Sourcing and Purity Info

Hi there. I'm looking for sources of DNP, naturally in it's capsulated form. I've been hearing lots of information on the grape vine however that there are serious purity issues when obtaining DNP already in caps. Since I haven't got a fume hood in which I can make caps on my own, I'd like any useful information available on typical DNP-alikes and impurities which are added.

Thanks a million.
 
Hopefully somebody can help me out with regards to this. I could really use some purity info, at the least.
 
Most prominent chemical suppliers offer DNP with an assay of 97-98%, which is good. Some of the lesser ones have an assay of >90%, which is not something I'd want in my body.

How would you even assay encapsulated DNP when it comes mixed with filler?
 
It would have to be known what the exact composition of the filler is. But that's fine, that's useful enough information for me. Thanks very much.

What do you mean "there are serious purity issues when obtaining DNP already in caps"? Are you talking about the assay of the actual DNP or the addition of filler?
 
Oh, that's not what I was referring to at all. I've heard stories about fake DNP capsules which don't contain any actual DNP, or even an extremely minimal amount and are instead contaminated with ephedrine, or various mixes of sterioids. Also, I've heard of steroid pills which are obvious fakes passed off as DNP.

I'm not too worried about the other crap additives to the capsules, provided the DNP is still accurate in it's dosage.
 
I would think most chemical supply companies would provide the detail on the purity of their product. Plus I would think that would be preferable anyway since you don't know what someone is putting in a capsule for you or even if they can use a high-precision scale correctly (and even more if it's calibrated correctly). Fume hood? Do you really need a fume hood to cap DNP? I suppose I would say you might if you were working with this stuff for long periods of time or capping dozens and dozens of pills. Otherwise if you were just scooping some out of a container and putting it on a scale and then capping it...you shoudl be able to do that for a week's worth with no need for a fume hood. Gloves and a respirator should be fine, right?

Do you have an actual source that you accuse of doing that?

I've read that P 200mg caps were good... I am now trying the 100mg version of it. Will tell you at the end of the cycle

This sounds like a bunch of nonsense. It would only take a few caps for someone to realize that they're not taking DNP, but ephedrine. And who would spend money trying to "pass off" steroids as DNP? I don't know where you heard this, but it's pretty absurd.

Unfortunately no. DNP turns everything it touches yellow, and in it's micronized powder form, it's not something you want to have to capsulate yourself unless you have a fume hood. It will turn to dust in the air, travel around, and turn everything in the vicinity yellow. It's pretty awful.

I haven't taken DNP before. It's very concieveable that someone would try and pass off ephedrine as DNP, because the placebo effect and the weightloss from the ephedrine might trick you into believing that you are indeed taking DNP... for a few days.

As far as people trying to "pass off" steriods as DNP, it is also concieveable. Without the ability to test the capsules in my own laboratory, and since both substances would raise a few eyebrows if I went to a lab and asked for them to be tested if I was to come in holding capsules, I think it's a safe assumption that it's best to know that a source is trustworthy. People do try to rip people off. We don't live in a world where everyone's out to help eachother.

I agree, some sources are scammers and rip people off. That's why you go with a reputable source. I just don't see why sources would go through the trouble to give you ephedrine or steroids though. Doesn't make any sense. They'd just sell you an inert pill or take your money and send you nothing at all.
 
You make a good point. I suppose it would make sense that they would just give you dummy pills instead.

As far as source information, however, all of my searches for a reliable source for DNP have come up without results. I guess I'll keep on looking. I'm hoping to get a source for around 100 caps by December.

I've capped dnp in the past and recently. I never used a fume hood. Just gotta know what the fuck your doing and be careful.
 
Dude I have capped a lot of raw DNP in my day and you do not want to use a fume hood. just taking a small breath will blow that stuff all over the place. just wear a mask.

We get it, you're trying to sell DNP, you can just start a thread saying that instead of beating around the bush already and asking how to ship it and telling us how you cap it.

Yeah I was think the same thing about the steroids being passed off as DNP. I have heard of places you can get DNP over a kg for under $10, no reason for someone to spend more on anabolic/androgenic steroids and pass off say 200mg of 1,4androstenedione for DNP.

Instead they would just put in fillers and pass it off as DNP instead of actually putting in steroids if they are going to rip off consumers.
