TNP would suffice, as the mitochondrial membrane buffers the rate of penetration, slowing it down, achieving the same effects of controlled release DNP. TNP would never be as effective as DNP for bodybuilding purposes, but if anyone is looking at this whole "health" claim, then TNP would be optimal, that is if we were assured of no further negative consequences. Furthermore, the natural nontoxic uncoupling proteins themselves would suffice if they were ever produced.
So what then, a couple milligrams of DNP or TNP everyday? I may try it sometime, but I'm sure that there are better ways to achieve the same health benefits. As people say, don't fool yourself about the health claims because you're probably doing it mostly for the superficial observations.
Explain your last sentence? Superficial observations? And what is foolish about the health claims in the linked studies?
As another data point, from a discussion in a Nootropics group:
"
For the last 5 years, give or take a year, I have been struggling with the following;
moderate to heavy fatigue, brain fog (constant and strong), low mood, irritability, really poor working memory and recall, sleep disturbances, and low stress resistance.
These problems came on after a period of very high stress for me, and remained long after. They were pretty constant, the severity maybe varying from day to day, but always there. I tried many, many ways to cope with them, as we probably all have here.
I won't make an exhaustive list but frequent exercise, diet change, sleep hygiene, hormone therapy, nootropics like dihexa, NSI-189, SEMAX, racetams, and so much stuff that I'm embarrassed to list because of how expensive it all has been.
...
The first few times I did it were some days apart, I noticed feeling "sharper", but nothing dramatic. It honestly sat around for a while while I played with some other noots. One day I was scrolling through the study again and decided to try it a week in a row, just to see what happens.
According to my supplement journal, by day 5, I was feeling better than I had in
years. No bullshit, no exaggeration. I was standing miles away from how I had been feeling before, wondering how the hell I got there. As the days and weeks passed I began to feel even better. I started to have a reserve of energy that I didn't have to worry about using up, I actually wanted to
do things again. My mood stabilized, I began to feel more resilient, like a standing oak instead of a branch blown by the wind. The brain fog cleared, that annoying wool-like feeling always in my head. I began to sleep better and more deeply. Anxiety plummeted, not sure why, but there is just so much less of it in general. And my working memory returned, I can actually multi-task effectively now, and my recall is so much more accurate than before. Exercising is a lot easier, I feel like it barely puts a dent in me after, like I could go for even longer.
I was not expecting any of this, and I'm still shocked that it worked. I'd have settled for any one of these improvements, to have this many really seemed too good to be true.
