DSIP: Dosage & Administration

DSIP (Delta Sleep Inducing Peptide) dosing in research:

Protocol	Dose	Frequency	Timing
Sleep research	100–250 mcg	Once daily	30–60 minutes before bed
Stress/pain research	100–300 mcg	Once daily	Morning or evening

DSIP was originally isolated from rabbit brain during induced sleep and named for its ability to promote delta wave (slow-wave) sleep activity when injected into awake rabbits. Despite its name, research has shown DSIP's effects extend well beyond sleep to include stress modulation, pain regulation, and endocrine effects.

DSIP typically comes in 2mg or 5mg lyophilized vials:

• 2mg vial + 2mL BAC water = 1mg/mL (1,000 mcg/mL) — draw 0.1mL for 100 mcg, 0.25mL for 250 mcg
• 5mg vial + 2mL BAC water = 2.5mg/mL — draw 0.1mL for 250 mcg

Use the peptide calculator for precise volumes. See the reconstitution guide for preparation.

DSIP timing considerations:

• Sleep applications: Administer 30–60 minutes before intended sleep time
• Cycle length: Protocols typically run 2–4 weeks. Some research uses intermittent dosing (every other day)
• No fasting requirement: DSIP's sleep-modulating effects are not affected by food intake
• Tolerance: Some research suggests effects may diminish with extended daily use, supporting the use of cycling or intermittent dosing

Standard peptide storage:

• Lyophilized: -20°C long-term, 2–8°C for months
• Reconstituted: Refrigerate at 2–8°C, use within 28 days
