Delta Sleep-Inducing Peptide, a nonapeptide first isolated in connection with sleep regulation. Its effects in humans remain poorly characterized and inconsistent.
Mechanism under study
DSIP was originally associated with the promotion of delta-wave (deep) sleep in animal studies; proposed actions include neuromodulatory and stress-hormone-modulating effects, but the mechanism is not well established.
Research-reported dosing
No established human dosing; the evidence base is limited and mixed. Research-community sources reference doses on the order of 100-250 mcg.
Based on a standard 5 mg vial: with 2 mL bacteriostatic water = 2,500 mcg/mL (2.5 mg/mL); 1 unit ≈ 25 mcg.
A 200 mcg dose ≈ 8 units (25 mcg per unit).
