I've never used it simply because of all I've read...I'm a Clen guy, but the shakes are murder lately....

Grundlingh J, Dargan PI, El-Zanfaly M, Wood DM. 2,4-Dinitrophenol (DNP): A Weight Loss Agent with Significant Acute Toxicity and Risk of Death. J Med Toxicol. 2,4-Dinitrophenol (DNP): A Weight Loss Agent with ... [J Med Toxicol. 2011] - PubMed result
DNP has been available for over a century, initially in the manufacture of munitions, due to its explosive properties. From the 1930s onwards, there has been interest in its properties to increase the underlying metabolic rate, leading to an associated weight loss. Following a number of deaths in the 1930s, the US Food and Drug Administration determined that DNP was ‘extremely dangerous and not fit for human consumption’. There were very few reported deaths since the late 1930s, until the last decade. It appears that there has been increasing interest and availability of DNP-containing products on the internet. Whilst these appear to be largely targeted towards bodybuilders to try and reduce fat and improve muscle bulk, there have been a number of deaths related to its use for more general weight loss.
The primary toxicity seen with DNP is similar to that seen with other phenol-based products and is a combination of hyperthermia, tachycardia, diaphoresis and tachypnoea with associated cardiovascular collapse/cardiac arrest and death. There is no specific management for individuals with DNP-related toxicity; it is imperative that the temperature is brought down as rapidly and as soon as possible to try and reduce systemic toxicity and/or death. Currently, DNP remains freely available on the internet, with both detailed ‘regimens’ for its use and about the potential for acute toxicity and death on the internet seller websites. It is likely that some individuals, despite these warnings, will continue to purchase and use DNP-containing products to aid with weight loss, with the potential risk of acute toxicity and/or death.
There is a small margin between the beneficial effects and the toxic effects of DNP.
What I don't understand is why do people need a drug to get something accomplished. People are lazy and look for the easy way whatever the cost associated with it. Just go on a damn diet and do some cardio. Quit shoving shit down your pie hole and discipline yourself.

Damn, I wish I would have read this BEFORE the ice cream I just ate
I have never taken DNP, so certainly my opinion only means so much. However, I think tren is just as good as burning fat, and a hell of a lot more effective as a strength/muscle builder.
If you don't want sides, sub Mast for tren. A good test/mast or tren/var cycle leans me out really well. It also allows me to bust my ass as hard as I can in the gym for an hour, 4 days a week followed up (on 3 of the 4 weight days) w/ some Yoga and brutal cardio working the bags. I do regular cardio 3 other days. The gear makes it possible to train this hard every day. Off gear I cut the bag work to one-2 days a week, and do another few things to increase recovery (like take a day off when I need it).
To be honest, I did not need to really diet that hard, just clean things up. I could eat late at night, and when I woke up to be leaner and more muscular, especially if doing tren.
Since, based upon what I have read, tren sides are no worse than dnp, why not use the compound that is just as good at burning fat, yet waaaaay better at building muscle and strength?
Excellent posts DOC, now will those interested in using this junk finally heed the evidence!
I've been personally involved in the deaths of two patients whom used DNP, one is a published case report which aided the removal (I hope) of this toxin from the market!

Unfortunately, judging by my browsing of different fitness forums, I think it's getting more popular than ever. And mainly from younger, inexperienced types.
