Thanks for the references 1 and 2. I had no idea that curcumin was a mitochondrial uncoupler. Incidentally, I was looking at curcumin to help with my mitochondrial myopathy, but for its anti-inflammatory effects - I have a really hard time to recover from my workouts possibly due to a systemic inflammatory response caused by my genetic condition.

I have always thought that low-dose DNP would be a potentially good treatment for mitochondrial myopathies, as they induce mitochondrial biogenesis [1], but DNP can be dangerous and I have been hesitant to try it.

Maybe I just need to add curcumin to my current supplements regime.
