Performance Enhancing Supplements is proud to present to you ERASE.

ERASE CORTISOL

ERASE FAT STORAGE

INCREASE TESTOSTERONE

INCREASE FAT LOSS

INCREASE SEX DRIVE

INCREASE MUSCLE MASS

INCREASE RECOVERY

How is all of this possible in just one supplement?

ERASE works through a number of different mechanisms to shift your body into a more ANABOLIC state.  It is the most synergistic natural compound to hit the market.

ERASE contains one simple yet very potent and intricate compound; a natural DSHEA compliant ingredient called Androst-3,5-dien-7,17-dione. This one ingredient alone will have users experiencing an increased libido and better workouts from an increase in testosterone which elevates the user’s anabolic state leading to more muscle mass!  Let’s not forget to mention of the additional benefits of decreasing fat storage and increasing fat loss!

ERASE’s ingredient is a completely DSHEA compliant natural aromatase inhibitor that is NOT a prohormone.  It is completely active and natural in its current form!  It will NOT shut you down and does NOT require a Post Cycle Therapy (PCT).  It occurs in very small amounts as a metabolite of 7-oxygenated DHEA in the body naturally.  One of the biggest problems with other DHEA derivatives is that they themselves can either convert to estrogen or estrogenic compounds, or they can bind to the androgen receptor and shutdown your natrual testosterone.  You don’t have to worry about this with ERASE!  Metabolites of 7-oxygenated DHEA will not allow these negative side effects.

Had enough?  I hope not, because ERASE is not done turning you into an anabolic, muscle building, fat losing machine.

ERASE, as you may now know, is a 7-oxygenated DHEA compound.  7-oxygenated DHEA compounds such as the popular 7-oxo-DHEA are known to competitively inhibit the amount of cortisol in the blood, leaving it as inactive cortisone.  By lowering cortisol you change your body into a less catabolic state (a state of muscle breakdown) and rev’s you up into an anabolic state (a muscle building state) by increasing the amount of testosterone in the body.  It’s a 2 for 1!

These 7-oxygenated compounds do this by flipping between the oxygenated and reduced versions of themselves on the enzyme that converts inactive cortisone to active cortisol, the 11-beta-HSD1 enzyme.  While these conversions are taking place cortisone cannot convert to cortisol, this decreases the amounts of cortisol in the blood.  This is the mechanisms that most of the popular cortisol reducers undergo.

There have not been any studies done on our particular 7-oxygenated compound on the 11-beta-HSD 1 enzyme, so its mechanism and affinity on the enzyme cannot be determined yet, but it is suggested that it is similar to the inhibition of it is closely related parent compound.

Why is cortisol so bad?

Cortisol is a very catabolic hormone, the opposite of what you want.  No one wants high levels of a catabolic hormone.  Cortisol levels can rise in your body when there is an increase in anabolic compounds, such as testosterone.  Your body does this as a natural mechanism to basically fight your increased anabolism and it does it by increasing cortisol.  But you don’t want that!  You want to stay anabolic, so keep your cortisol low!

This is what makes ERASE the most innovative and synergistic compound ever! While it will naturally increase testosterone, it will also allow your increased testosterone levels to give maximal effects by not allowing your cortisol catching up.

ERASE belongs in your supplement regimen!  Whether you are bulking, cutting, recomp, on a testosterone booster, hormonal cycle, or just looking to get an edge in the gym, Erase has its place!

Note:  Some users experience mild joint pain when taking Erase.  If this occurs, lower your dose by 1 capsule.

New and Improved Alpha-T2: Targeted Fat Destroyer!

ALPHA-T2 is a clean jitter free blend of three POWERFUL and pure ingredients that are combined at perfect doses. Whether you are trying to drop weight fast or in the middle of a lean recomp phase, ALPHA-T2 belongs in your supplement regimen!

PES didn’t jam as many ingredients at unknown doses into every capsule as we could.  We didn’t stuff it full of caffeine to make you think that the more jitters and crash you have means the more weight you are losing.  Our products are formulated off of science and the amount of each ingredient is the full and effective dose.

Get Educated on the Alpha-T2 Ingredients

Alpha-T2 is the first product that can effectively:

• Target Fat Loss
• Provide Full Body Fat Loss
• Combine multiple fat loss pathways in the body for an even greater effect – synergy at its finest.
• Give powerful fat loss without any caffeine crash and jitters

Alpha-T2 contains pure Rauwolscine HCl, also known as alpha-yohimbine. Before you say “Oh damn, it’s yohimbine”?, keep on reading.  Rauwolscine is VERY different than regular yohimbine. Just because they have a similar name does not mean anything as to what it does inside of your body. This new extremely superior ingredient makes yohimbine look like garbage.

Regular yohimbine is well known for nasty jitters, crash, anxiety, etc. On top of that, it hardly does anything for fat loss. Rauwolscine does NOT have the same effects and is much more powerful at burning fat then regular yohimbine! It is an essential ingredient for anyone who wants to lose weight, and we give it to you in the pure form at a full and effective dose.

Rauwolscine is the key to TARGETING fat loss in the midsection. Rauwolscine is known as an Alpha-2 adrenoceptor antagonist (Alpha-2-adrenoceptor blocker). Normally, when this receptor is active (which it’s going to be, unless you’re taking Alpha-T2), it actually slows your body’s natural ability to burn fat!  By blocking the alpha-2-adrenoceptor with Rauwolscine your body will now INCREASE fat burning and DECREASE fat storage. Those evil Alpha-2 adrenoceptors are abundant in certain areas of the body; including the abdomen, the love handles, the chest, lower back, buttocks, and neck. So by taking Alpha-T2, you are TARGETING FAT LOSS in these areas!

Now, when these receptors are blocked a pathway known as the beta-adrenergic pathway is what is actually causing the increase in fat burning.  So remember, alpha-2 adrenoceptors are blocked, so fat storage mechanism is decreased, and now allows the beta-adrenergic pathways to burn more fat in the midsection.

The beta-adrenergic pathway is one of the strongest fat burning pathways in the body. It burns fat over the entire body, but since we have coupled Rauwolscine in this formula there will be an even greater focus on the midsection.

Instead of stuffing Alpha-T2 full of stimulants that give nasty jitters and crash in an attempt to indirectly activate beta-adrenergic pathway, PES took these biochemical pathways a step further. We figured hey, why not find something that DIRECTLY activates this pathway by using a beta-agonist (beta-adrenergic pathway activator)? That is exactly what we did.

PES is proud to be the first producers of a new innovative and effective compliant beta-agonist, Higenamine. This ingredient directly activates the beta-adrenergic pathway. Just like Rauwolscine, we use a PURE form of Higenamine, not an extracted form.

Higenamine is a popular compound in Eastern countries and has been noted for its beta-agonistic properties.  We have found in our initial testing of Higenamine that when 20-40mg of Higenamine is taken via oral route by capsule, it acts very quick and its effects last for 60-90 minutes after dosing. This makes Higenamine very effective for dosing pre-exercise to increase your fat burning during your workout or cardio, perfect for the twice per day dosing of Alpha-T2, wont keep you awake all night, and is perfect for the Alpha-T2 formula.

The 3,3′-diiodo-l-thyronine in Alpha-T2 is a fast acting metabolism booster and thermogenic. By increasing your metabolism you can shift your body to BREAK DOWN MORE FAT for energy as its primary source.  3,3′-T2 is a naturally occurring iodo-thryonine that will kick your metabolism into gear! It is the closest compliant ingredient to T3. This ingredient is the perfect cherry on top on our formula. Like our other ingredients, we use a pure form of 3,3’-T2.

There you have it. Three perfectly dosed, perfectly combined, extremely synergistic PURE ingredients designed to make you BURN FAT! There is no other product out there like Alpha-T2. No weak extracts here…PURE powerful ingredients at the EFFECTIVE doses.  Not hidden in a prop blend. Not loaded with caffeine.

Users love Alpha-T2 because of its clean and effective fat burning capabilities, powerful thermogenic effects, and strong boost in metabolism. Another great benefit to this product not containing caffeine is you can stack Alpha-T2 with caffeinated products like your favorite stimulant supplements to wake you up in the morning, or your stimulant loaded preworkouts. So if you are a true caffeine junkie, yes, you can use caffeinated products with Alpha-T2 if you want.

A letter from the CEO of USPLabs

It Was Back in ‘92, But I Remember It Like Yesterday...

I walked into my local supplement shop and asked what I should take to get shredded...
Despite what seemed like hundreds of products, the guy said "ECA" as if there wasn't even a choice...

Those were the days...you simply popped a few of those bad boys and your appetite disappeared, fat melted away, energy skyrocketed & your body began to change...

The Same Old BS

Since then, stimulant-based "fat burners" have been all show and no go...

How many caffeine, green tea, synephrine and weak ass "thyroid-boosting" products can be released?

Who do they think they're kidding when the write-up says "We've produced the most unique & effective fat burner ever!"...

...Umm, no you haven't, it's the same as every other shitty burner on the market...

Can You Say HMB of the Fat Loss World?

Listen, green tea has MANY benefits...It's an awesome antioxidant and is rightfully a staple in many intelligent lifters arsenals...

And, yes, some science shows it boosts metabolism...but let's be honest, it's not gonna get you ripped...

My grandmother's been drinking it every day for decades and I'm pretty sure she doesn't have a six-pack...

And synephrine...don't even get me started with that crap...

...It wasn't effective when it was initially touted as "the next ephedra" ...and it's not effective now - despite it blindly being included in pretty much every formula out there...

After establishing Recreate as THE top-notch low-stim fat burner in existence, we set out to develop a stim-based fat burner that, well, actually burned fat!

...I'm proud to say we've hit paydirt...

Introducing a burner so laser-targeted, it's been coined the "Super Thermogenic™" by researchers familiar with its effectiveness...

It's called OxyELITE Pro™ and it's here to kick your ass & get you absolutely shredded...

Its potency is unmatched & its ability to deliver is flat-out staggering...

But don't believe me, check out what these lucky individuals who received a pre-release bottle had to say...

"The thermogenic effects were evident after about 10 minutes of dosing 1 capsule of OxyELITE Pro™ and continue, my whole body is sweating at the moment and it is about 68 in my place... Jacob, if I have to run my A/C in November!!!!" Matt Finnegan  - Houston, TX

"I have lost 14 pounds from my weekly weigh in, and although it is unofficial I couldn't resist the scale today, says I had dropped another 5.5lbs ... OxyELITE Pro™ takes away your appetite, I mean demolishes it. The only time I am actually hungry is in the morning when I first wake up. A big difference for me. Huge difference." Benjamin Johnston - Tampa, FL

"Definitely feeling the heat on this stuff. I'm staying warm throughout the day - I love that feeling! The appetite suppression is killer too! Forcing myself to eat today... Within about 10 minutes, I felt OxyELITE Pro™ kick in. I've used the ECA stack a few times in the past. This was like a walk down memory lane! I felt the rush of energy. I felt the heat, and I felt the loss of appetite kick in. I looked over at my sandwich while driving & laughed out loud!! I felt great!!" Daniel Edney - Baton Rouge, LA

"As a pharmacist myself, I'd approve it. On ingredients alone, OxyELITE Pro™ will outperform everything on the market or anything planning to come to market. Nothing touches what is being used/how they are being used. Just awesome. You have really outdone yourself Jacob!" Anabolicminds.com member MrBigPR

"I have been on my diet for 3.5 weeks and lost 10 pounds. I have gotten stronger while on OxyELITE Pro™ during my cut - which absolutely blew my mind, never thought it would happen. I never ran out of energy even on the days I went extremely low calorie. I have to say that it really helped me maintain my muscle mass as well. I have never been able to diet like I just did and maintain as much mass and strength as I have while using OxyELITE Pro™.  Guys and gals, this is truly the thermogenic that everyone has been waiting for. Fantastic fat loss and maintenance of muscle mass/strength. It certainly gets my recommendation and I'll never do a diet without it ever again." Sam Cox - Riley, Kansas

Why Is The Last Place To Lose Fat, The First Place To Gain Fat?

It just doesn't seem fair, but unfortunately it's true...

...It may be your stomach, your love handles or even your man boobs...

Fat sticks to these areas like super glue and hangs on for dear life...

So why does this happen?

Your BodyFat is Being Held Hostage

It's called the Alpha-2 receptor – And, if fat loss is your goal - it's your absolute worst enemy...

If the Alpha-2 receptor wants you to store fat, you're going to store fat – and lots of it – in the worst possible places ...

The alpha-2 receptor is responsible for inhibiting lipolysis - which basically means it allows the body to store fat AND prevents the body from burning fat...

In other words, the Alpha-2 receptor is holding your fat hostage & refusing to let go!

The Alpha-2 Receptor is abundant in certain areas of your body & non-existent in others...

As you can see in the illustration above, Alpha-2 receptors have been shown to be present in abdominals, lower chest, and buttocks – precisely where you don't want them to be!
This is exactly why your biceps are lean, yet your stomach is as smooth as a baby's ass...

The Alpha-2 Receptor is the technical term for "trouble spots"...

When it's activated, these areas are in "lock-down" - unable to burn fat and storing it like a bear preparing for hibernation...

Full-Fledged Thermogenesis

Luckily, this is where OxyELITE Pro™ shines...

By utilizing a compound shown to block off & deactivate the Alpha-2 receptor, we can use this to our advantage to torch fat quickly & efficiently – exactly where you want fat loss to occur!

Think of OxyELITE Pro™ as S.W.A.T – busting down doors and "freeing" your fat cells from their hostage situation...

So sit back & strap on your seatbelt as this very well may be the most important info you've ever read on fat loss...

The USPLabs OxyELITE Pro™ lineup...

Rauwolfia Canescens (Rauwolscine)

This particular compound has been shown to block off & deactivate the Alpha-2 receptor!

It's related to yohimbine, a compound which is often included in various fat loss formulas because of its ability to antagonize alpha 2-adrenoceptors, allowing lipolysis itself, while also allowing lipolysis to continue from beta adrenoceptor agonism as well (11,12).

Here's the problem: While antagonizing alpha 2-adrenoceptors is great, yohimbine unfortunately also does the same for alpha 1-adrenoceptors – and this can actually hinder lipolysis (13).

So, on the other hand, while yohimbine helps to improve lipolysis by antagonizing alpha 2-adrenoceptors, it may also prevent lipolysis from occurring by antagonizing alpha 1-adrenoceptors...

Kind of defeats the purpose, huh? It's like robbing Peter to Pay Paul...

The end result is only a mediocre or small effect upon fat loss, or no detectable fat loss at all, which is what has been demonstrated in the literature with yohimbine supplementation (14-17).

Rauwolscine on the other hand, is just as potent at antagonizing alpha 2-adrenoceptors as yohimbine, yet it is 50 times less potent at alpha 1-adrenoceptors (18), making it much more selective and much less likely to reduce lipolysis by inhibiting alpha 1-adrenoceptor activity when compared to yohimbine.

Rauwolscine is clearly the better choice.

Last, beware of those products which contain the hydroxylated derivatives of yohimbine (e.g., 10-OH-yohimbine and 11-OH-yohimbine). They may look different but the truth is that they are no more effective than yohimbine (19).

This is simply a marketing gimmick designed to get the consumer to believe they are getting something truly unique and more effective.

Bauhinia purpurea L (Leaf & Pod [standardized for Bauhiniastatins 1-4])

This particular extract is very exciting because, due to various factors (e.g., stress, dieting, overtraining), many individuals may have impaired conversion of T4 to T3.

We all know thyroid hormones play an important role in metabolic rate and an increase in thyroid hormone levels can produce significant increases in energy expenditure.

This is, after all, why bodybuilders and fitness athletes will use synthetic T3 as they know it can help dramatically increase the rate at which they reduce fat mass.

In fact, excess thyroid levels have been known to increase metabolic rate by 25-50% in some cases and a person that is hypothyroid can have a decrease in metabolic rate by as much as 40% below normal (20).

Now, we're not saying that we can increase thyroid hormone levels to the same degree that you'd get from taking exogenous thyroid hormone, but imagine if you could get even a fraction of that – the results would speak for themselves!

An extract from the plant Bauhinia purpurea has been shown in healthy adult animal models to increase T4 by approximately 37% compared to controls, while increasing T3 by an amazing 83%! (21)

If this wasn't exciting enough, another study found that Bauhinia purpurea was able to completely restore the decrease in thyroid hormone levels seen when giving healthy adult animal models the drugs, dexamethasone (a potent glucocorticoid) and metformin (an anti-diabetic drug) (22).

Yet another reason that increasing thyroid hormone is so important is because it's known to sensitize or increase the lipolytic effects of adrenergic stimulation (i.e., through compounds such as the geranium and Cirsium oligophyllum extracts, along with caffeine) in fat cells (33).

Due to the results of the studies, the authors concluded that the plant is likely increasing the conversion of peripheral T4 to the more potent T3.

This is like adding a NOS injector to your ten speed!

Bacopa monnieri (Leaf)

This plant has also been shown in an animal model to naturally increase thyroid hormone production. In this case, the plant extract was shown to increase T4 levels by approximately 41% compared to controls (23).

In this case, however, since there was no increase in T3 seen, the authors concluded that the plant extract directly stimulates the release of T4 from the thyroid gland, as opposed to Bauhinia purpurea, which increased the conversion of T4 to T3.

By combining the two plant extracts, the goal is to create a situation where your body will release more T4, while at the same time more of this newly released T4 will be converted to the more metabolically active T3.

This is truly the "best of both worlds" scenario & the end result potentially being a substantial increase in energy expenditure and decreased fat.

Cirsium Oligophyllum (Whole Plant Extract)

Our use of this plant is based upon an animal study which had shown that compared to a control group, the extract was able to reduce the gain of bodyweight and fat mass and specifically seemed to target subcutaneous fat mass over that of visceral fat mass with a ratio favoring the reduction of subcutaneous fat mass over that of visceral of nearly 9 fold!(5)

Pharmacological studies revealed that the active constituent possesses beta adrenoceptor agonist activity (other beta adrenoceptor agonists include compounds like ephedrine and clenbuterol) and stimulates lipolysis in subcutaneous fat cells.

Yet another similarity that the Cirsium oligophyllum extract shares with beta adrenoceptor agonists is that it works synergistically with caffeine, producing a more powerful lipolytic effect that far exceeds the effect when used by itself (5).

In fact, the potency of caffeine & Cirsium Oligophyllum combined was nearly 10 times greater than Cirsium Oligophyllum by itself.  

As a final note, Uncoupling Protein-1 expression was up-regulated 1.3 fold, relative to controls in those animals receiving Cirsium Oligophyllum topically; more on this later (5).

Caffeine

Caffeine is often noted for its ability to increase resting energy expenditure, while also increasing lipolysis and lipid oxidation (6-8)...

In addition, it is noted for its ability to increase feelings of energy, alertness, concentration and euphoric effects (9,10).

Everyone throws caffeine in their formula...but few know why...we have a specific purpose on why we included it...

...Aside from the benefits that caffeine alone imparts, it can also provide synergistic effects when combined with other ingredients in OxyELITE Pro™...

In particular, the caffeine we have included may increase the effectiveness of the other fat loss agents included in the formula, including our Geranium extract as well as Cirsium oligophyllum.

...In fact, in the study performed with Cirsium oligophyllum, they found exactly that!

Caffeine was shown to provide a substantial increase in the effectiveness of the extract at promoting lipolysis in subcutaneous fat cells (5)...

Is Your Fat Burner Targeting The Wrong Fat?

Notice that we said subcutaneous fat cells as this is where many companies fail to make a distinction when creating fat loss products...

Many compounds can produce a decrease in fat mass when it comes to visceral fat (i.e., the fat that surrounds your organs), but when it comes to improving how you look, subcutaneous fat is what you're concerned with as this is the fat that is just below your skin and smothers up your muscles...

How Much Subcutaneous Fat You Have Means The Difference Between Looking Shredded Or Looking Like You Own Stock In A Donut House.

As you can see in the picture above, subcutaneous fat is what covers up your abs. The crappy high-stim fat burners these days target visceral fat, not subcutaneous fat.

Targeting visceral fat is important for overall health - and the compounds in OxyELITE Pro™ can target visceral fat too - but as you can see, targeting visceral fat alone isn't going to do much for that layer of fat surrounding your muscles...

You need to get rid of excess subcutaneous fat to make a lean physique a reality.

Geranium [Stems] (extracted for 1,3-Dimethylamylamine)

Geranium has been used for centuries as a food additive and part of certain cultures regular diets. One constitute of geranium is this compound - a sympathomimetic, aliphatic amine with indirect (i.e., by increasing norepinephrine levels) and/or direct activity at alpha and beta-adrenoceptors (1-3).

This compound's influence upon the sympathetic nervous system (SAS) and norepinephrine levels is something very important to consider as the SAS and norepinephrine are considered to play important roles when it comes to influencing metabolic rate and especially the rate at which we burn calories while at rest (4). 

What does this all of this mean? It means this compound can potentially help provide the stimulation needed for better workouts (i.e., a feeling of more energy and focus), while also directly stimulating the use of fat as fuel in your body.

The Final Frontier – The Incredible Fat Loss Pathway Science Had All But Given Up On

Consider this the icing on the cake...the 10th Ring for Phil Jackson...the next Billion Bill Gates makes...

Brown Adipose Tissue (BAT)

So, I'm sure we've all heard of this before, right?

It's often referred to as BAT, or simply as brown fat. It's very metabolically active and uses fat as fuel in order to produce heat. Pretty cool stuff, right?

Unfortunately, we were under the assumption we really only have significant amounts of brown fat when we're babies...

So, that's the end of the story, right? Well, very recently, the answer has become a solid, but surprising, no.

As it turns out, we fell into that trap often referred to as dogmatic thinking. If we're told something enough times and no one challenges it, we believe it...

Very recently, scientific studies have begun to call into question the notion adult humans lack BAT and that it has no potential to play any significant physiological role (24-29).

So, without any more procrastination, let's delve into the most recent findings:

 
• A recent study found that up to 96% of subjects evaluated have detectable levels of BAT! (24,25).
 
• It has been found that those that are overweight have lower BAT activity than those that are lean, something that isn't entirely a coincidence as having more BAT can potentially mean expending more calories and thus maintaining a lower weight (25).
 
• It has been estimated that more than half of all men and women likely have at least 10 grams of BAT in their body (26).
 
• BAT is so metabolically active that as little as 50 grams of BAT could potentially account for up to 20% of total daily energy expenditure of an adult human when maximally stimulated (25,26).
 
• In one subject that was shown to possess 63 grams of BAT, it was estimated that when fully activated, this amount of BAT could burn approximately 4.1 kilograms (around 9 lbs) of fat mass over a year (25,27).
 
• That's around 9 lbs of fat lost by doing nothing but sitting on your butt!

Imagine how much of a difference that can make on how you look...

For example, let's start with a hypothetical 190 pound man with 12% bodyfat...

If he had 63 grams of BAT like the subject mentioned above & we can maximally stimulate BAT, he would lower his bodyfat down to 7.6%... by doing nothing differently except activating his BAT fat!

The difference in 12% & 7.6% bodyfat is flat-out staggering – 12% and people may ask you if you workout a few times a week...

A true 7.6% & you'll have chicks beggin' & dudes hatin'...

Ok Jacob, How Do We Recruit BAT?

The problem however is recruiting BAT and activating what little we have in the first place...

While exposure to cold is one method, it isn't exactly feasible to expose yourself to cold every day of the week...

...And aside from that, it has been pointed out that various environmental changes for modern humans such as insulated buildings, clothing advances and heated transport systems have all reduced the need for thermogenesis via BAT and thus the amount of activated BAT has decreasedas well...

But all hope is not lost...

The other method is via sympathetic stimulation or in other words, by using direct and indirect-acting sympathomimetics (25,28).

Where USPLabs OxyELITE Pro™ Goes From All-Time Great to First Ballot Hall of Fame

First, it's important to understand how BAT provides such benefits...

Now, normal white adipose tissue or WAT (i.e., the stuff around your organs and smothering your muscles) is generally there to accept extra energy from calories ingested and accepts them for storage as triglycerides (fat).

We need this to insulate us from the cold and protect our internal organs. BAT, on the other hand doesn't store extra energy as it instead dissipates this extra energy in the form of heat.

As you can see on the left, Brown Fat is much more "active" & thus can create much greater heat production (i.e burning fat for energy) than White Fat.
How does it do this? A major factor is a protein called uncoupling protein-1 (UCP-1).

Protein Uncoupling

This protein is able to uncouple oxidative phosphorylation, allowing the energy from foodstuffs that we consume to be released as heat (burned) instead of stored as fat (25,28,29).

Have you ever had one of those very lean friends that always complains about being, "hot" all of the time, even when it's the dead of winter?

These are the same friends that seem to eat nothing but junk food, yet still manage to stay lean all the time!

Well, BAT and UCP-1 activity may, in fact, be part of the reason!

Not The Same As DNP

It's important to note this type of Protein Uncoupling IS NOT the same as the dangerous, yet highly effective, uncoupling compounds such as DNP...

Unlike DNP (an exogenous substa
