How to Use DSIP
Complete guide to DSIP dosing, administration, timing, and protocol recommendations.
Quick Overview
DSIP, or delta sleep-inducing peptide, is a small naturally occurring nonapeptide (sequence Trp-Ala-Gly-Gly-Asp-Ala-Ser-Gly-Glu) first isolated in the 1970s from the blood of sleeping rabbits. As the name suggests, it was named for its ability to promote delta-wave (deep, slow-wave) sleep in animals. Despite five decades of study it has no regulatory approval and the human evidence for it as a sleep aid is weak and inconsistent.
