Step 1
Reconstitution
Peptide amount in the vial and how much bacteriostatic water you add.
Step 2
Your dose
This guide uses microgram-scale research doses — quick picks are in mcg (100 mcg = 0.1 mg).

Research cycle phases
Units and volumes recompute from your Step 1 concentration (1 mL BAC → 2.00 mg/mL · 20.0 mcg/unit). Doses below are once daily during the course — not weekly.
Standard course
Secondary research-community tables most often cite ~100–300 mcg once in the evening; some write-ups titrate toward ~400–500 mcg. Historical human sleep work used different routes/doses — treat injectable mcg tables as recon math only.
| Phase | Daily dose | Units | Volume |
|---|---|---|---|
| Days 1–7 (intro) | 100 mcg0.1 mg | 5 u | 0.05 mL100 mcg evening — common educational start |
| Days 8–28 (standard) | 200 mcg0.2 mg | 10 u | 0.10 mL200 mcg evening — mid common research-community range |
| Days 29–42 (optional) | 300 mcg0.3 mg | 15 u | 0.15 mL300 mcg evening — upper end of many secondary charts |
Alternate / higher courses
Shorter or higher daily courses discussed in research communities — not a clinical recommendation

Bacteriostatic water
2 × 3 mL or 1 × 10 mL
1 mL BAC per vial × 5 vials = 5.0 mL total. Buy as 2× 3 mL bottles or 1× 10 mL bottle (whichever you stock).

42+ syringes
About one 100-unit syringe per injection for this schedule. Keep a few spares.

Reconstitution steps
- Allow the lyophilized 2 mg DSIP vial and bacteriostatic water to reach room temperature.
- Draw 1.0 mL bacteriostatic water (default for this guide).
- Inject BAC slowly down the inner wall of the vial — avoid blasting the powder cake.
- Gently swirl or roll until the solution is clear. Do not shake hard (foaming).
- Label with recon date and concentration (e.g. "2.0 mg/mL — 1 mL BAC").
- Refrigerate at 2–8 °C (35–46 °F), protected from light. Prefer using a reconstituted multi-dose vial within ~28 days with sterile technique.
Storage
Lyophilized
Keep dry powder cold and dark when possible (−20 °C / −4 °F preferred for long-term research stock).
Reconstituted
Refrigerate at 2–8 °C (35–46 °F). Avoid freeze–thaw of the working solution. Prefer finishing within ~28 days.
- ·Write recon date and BAC volume on the label.
- ·Protect from light during storage.
- ·Discard if cloudy, particulates, or odd odor appear after reconstitution.
Protocol notes
- ·DSIP (delta sleep-inducing peptide) is a nonapeptide historically studied for sleep architecture and stress models; modern evidence is mixed.
- ·Calculator doses are milligrams: 0.1 mg = 100 mcg; 0.2 mg = 200 mcg.
- ·Many write-ups place the injection in the evening before intended sleep — not a daytime stimulant stack.
- ·Research use only. Not medical advice for insomnia.
Research context & considerations
DSIP was isolated in the 1970s and investigated for sleep promotion, stress, and related CNS models. Results have been inconsistent across eras and preparations. Research-market vials are not approved sleep medicines.
- ·Daytime sedation or vivid dreams are occasionally discussed anecdotally.
- ·Not a substitute for evaluation of sleep apnea, depression, or other medical sleep disorders.
- ·Not FDA-approved as a consumer sleep drug via research vials.
- ·Pregnancy and pediatric use are outside research-hobby scope.
