I was also thinking torsades, that would be a little more problematic. Given all the guys out there with likely pathological/physiological LVH, why take a chance.If you already have a heart block than a prolonged QT might cause lightheadedness or syncopal episodes when training or any other exertion.
True that. We DO discuss bodybuilding and bench presses and biceps and stuff, but mostly from some very experienced folks.I'm new here but how the hell are you people finding out about research chemicals only trialed on mice? Only recently became interested in lifting for lifting's sake, bodybuilding, etc. Ya'll are crazy.
I went up to 20 mg a day. I can't say that I liked it all that much. I never really felt much of a stimulant feeling up to 1.5 mg 3x a day, but once I want to 5 mg 4x day, I felt overstimulated to the point I felt like I was starting to suffer from adrenal fatigue. Maybe, if I would have worked my way up instead of jumping from 4.5 to 20 mg, I would have felt fine, but I decided to drop back down to 4.5 mg and all was good. I have considered giving it another go, since there are many who are using 100-400 mg a day and reporting crazy benefits.I ran the 800mcg for about 3 weeks and didn't notice anything. I went up to 1600mcg am dosed the past week.
I do feel better in the gym, but I also changed some other stuff I was running that I think was bogging me down. I have no idea if it's due to the SLU.
I know chatgpt can be bullshit but I asked it about dosing this stuff for humans based on all the existing studies, and it is saying the dose should be way higher than what most people are taking here, like 20-50mg a day.
This makes a lot of sense, as those running the super high doses are stating it feels a lot like a moderate DNP dose without the heat.I've heard some crazy stuff about somebody running it up to 400mg in a day. This is what I got from AI on dosing this stuff too high.
At moderate doses, uncouplers can improve efficiency by reducing ROS (reactive oxygen species) buildup, increasing metabolic flexibility, and promoting fat oxidation. But if you push the dose too high, the effects shift from “therapeutic” to toxic:
Potential negative mitochondrial effects at very high doses of SLU-PP-332
- Excessive uncoupling → ATP depletion
- Proton gradients across the mitochondrial inner membrane are dissipated too strongly.
- ATP synthase can’t keep up → cellular ATP levels crash.
- Energy-hungry tissues (muscle, brain, heart, liver) are most at risk.
- Mitochondrial stress and damage
- Over-uncoupling forces mitochondria to burn through substrates (glucose, fatty acids) at extreme rates.
- This can lead to incomplete oxidation, accumulation of intermediates, and mitochondrial dysfunction.
- Oxidative stress
- Mild uncoupling reduces ROS.
- But extreme uncoupling can paradoxically increase ROS, as the electron transport chain runs “flat out” in a futile attempt to maintain membrane potential.
- Cell death pathways
- ATP depletion plus ROS can trigger apoptosis or necrosis.
- In animal studies with strong uncouplers, liver and muscle cells are especially vulnerable.
- Systemic risk (beyond mitochondria)
- Hyperthermia: all that wasted energy dissipates as heat (similar risk as with DNP overdose).
- Organ failure: particularly liver and kidney injury due to high metabolic stress.
- Cardiac arrhythmia: the heart is highly dependent on ATP, so uncoupling can destabilize rhythm under stress.
Summary:
At very high doses, SLU-PP-332 could overwhelm mitochondria, leading to ATP collapse, oxidative stress, mitochondrial injury, and ultimately cell death — with systemic consequences like overheating, organ damage, and cardiovascular instability.
So while SLU-PP-332 was designed to be safer than older uncouplers like DNP or BAM15, the same fundamental risks apply if pushed too far.
