Re: Dinitrocresol....5x more powerfull than DNP.
DNP caught on. A few of the slimming aids based on DNP are shown above. In the same year Tainter estimated that a hundred thousand Americans had already used DNP within a few months of its launch. Products containing the miracle compound appeared all over the world.
Dinitrocresol
A year later, in 1935, Goroy decided it was time to launch an even more powerful product: Improved Formula 281. One capsule contained 35 mg of DNP’s relative dinitrocresol. [Structural formula shown here]
Dinitrocresol was five times stronger than DNP. Just before Isabella Laboratories started adding the substance to its supplements, an article appeared in The Lancet in which British researchers showed that dinitrocresol was an even more effective metabolic stimulant than DNP. A daily dose of 240 mg raised metabolism by seventy percent within a few days, according to the Brits. [Lancet 1933,2(67):1137-9.]
