Important safety information
Dosage ranges listed above are based on available research data and reported protocols. Individual dosing should be determined by a qualified healthcare provider based on your specific health profile, goals, and response to treatment.
- Start at the lowest effective dose and titrate up gradually
- Monitor for side effects, especially during dose increases
- Do not exceed researched dose ranges without medical supervision
- This is a research compound — human dosing guidelines are not FDA-established

DSIP Protocol Overview
Goal
Sleep
Duration
8 weeks
Route
subcutaneous
Important before you start:
- DSIP is a research peptide with limited human clinical data.
- May cause vivid dreams or morning grogginess during the first few days.
- Do not combine with sedatives, alcohol, or sleep medications without medical guidance.
Your dosing schedule
Based on a 2 mg vial mixed with 2 mL bacteriostatic water (1.00 mg/mL concentration). Using a U-30 insulin syringe.

What you need for a 8-week DSIP protocol
DSIP vials (2 mg each)
Quantity: 6
Bacteriostatic water (30 mL vial)
Quantity: 1
Insulin syringes (U-30, 29ga)
Quantity: 56+ (one per injection, never reuse)
Alcohol prep pads
Quantity: 112+ (one for vial, one for skin)
Sharps container
Quantity: 1
Quantities based on 8-week protocol using 2 mg vials reconstituted with 2 mL BAC water each.
How to mix your DSIP
Your concentration:
2 mg peptide + 2 mL water = 1.00 mg/mL (1000 mcg/mL)
- 1
Wash your hands
Wash with soap and water for 30 seconds. Dry completely.
- 2
Clean the vial tops
Wipe the rubber stopper on your DSIP vial AND your bacteriostatic water vial with an alcohol swab. Let air dry for 10 seconds.
- 3
Draw 2 mL of bacteriostatic water
Using an insulin syringe, draw 2 mL (60 units on a U-30 syringe) of bacteriostatic water.
- 4
Inject water into the DSIP vial
Hold the peptide vial at a 45-degree angle. Point the needle at the WALL of the vial, NOT directly onto the powder. Push the plunger slowly over 10-15 seconds. Let the water run down the inside wall.
- 5
Swirl gently to dissolve
Swirl the vial in a slow circular motion for 30-60 seconds. NEVER shake. If not fully dissolved, let it sit for 2-5 minutes and swirl again.
- 6
Refrigerate immediately
Store reconstituted peptide at 36-46 degrees F (2-8 degrees C). Good for 4-6 weeks refrigerated. Label the vial with the date you mixed it.
Common mistakes that ruin your peptide:
- Shaking the vial (breaks peptide bonds, reduces potency 30-50%)
- Spraying water directly on the powder (damages the peptide)
- Using sterile water instead of bacteriostatic water (no preservative, short shelf life)
- Leaving mixed peptide at room temperature (loses 10-20% potency per day)
How to inject DSIP
Timing: 30-60 minutes before bed
- 1Choose your injection site and rotate each time (at least 1 inch from the last site).
- 2Wipe the injection site with an alcohol prep pad. Let air dry completely.
- 3Draw your dose (check the dosing schedule above for exact syringe units).
- 4Pinch a fold of skin at the injection site.
- 5Insert the needle at a 45-90 degree angle into the pinched skin fold.
- 6Push the plunger slowly and steadily.
- 7Release the skin fold, then withdraw the needle.
- 8Do NOT rub the injection site. Light pressure with a cotton ball is fine if there is any blood.
- 9Dispose of the syringe immediately in your sharps container. Never recap or reuse.
Site rotation tip
Divide your preferred injection area into a mental grid. Move to a new spot each injection. For Abdomen and Thigh injections, alternate between sides (left/right) each time.
