DSIP

Delta Sleep-Inducing Peptide, a naturally occurring nonapeptide investigated for sleep regulation, stress response and circadian-rhythm modulation.

What it is

DSIP (Delta Sleep-Inducing Peptide) is a neuropeptide composed of nine amino-acid residues, a nonapeptide. It was first identified in connection with delta-wave sleep, and it is studied as a regulatory neuropeptide rather than a sedative. It sits in this section alongside the synthetic nootropic peptides Semax and Selank as a neuro-active research compound.

What the research looks at

In research models DSIP is investigated for sleep regulation, stress-response modulation and circadian-rhythm effects. The literature looks at its role in the timing and architecture of sleep and in the body's handling of stress. These are laboratory findings only and describe how the compound is researched, not any human use. Supplied strictly for laboratory research use only, not for human or veterinary use.
