These Usnic acid-based supplements only uncouple the oxidative phosphorylation reactions that occur in the mitochondria where fats are oxidized. If you remember your biochemistry, anaerobic respiration (without oxygen) takes place in the cytoplasm of the cell (not the mitochondria). It uses glucose (without oxygen) and produces ATP and lactic acid. Wasting ATP in the mitochondria, has nothing to do with ATP production in the cytoplasm that’s used for weight training!
