DSIP (Delta Sleep-Inducing Peptide): reconstitution, units and half-life

Vial sizes · Worked example · Units chart · Half-life notes

What is DSIP?

Delta sleep-inducing peptide (DSIP) is a nine-amino-acid peptide first isolated in the 1970s. It is not FDA approved.

Also known as: Delta sleep-inducing peptide.

Common vial sizes

Powder vials are usually labeled 2 mg or 5 mg.

Worked reconstitution example

Here is the math for a 5 mg vial mixed with 2 mL of bacteriostatic water, drawing 250 mcg with a U-100 insulin syringe (1 mL = 100 units).

  1. Concentration. 5 mg ÷ 2 mL = 2.5 mg/mL
  2. Volume to draw. 250 mcg ÷ 2.5 mg/mL = 0.1 mL
  3. Syringe units. 0.1 mL × 100 = 10 units
The amount here is an example to show the math, not a recommendation. How much to take is a decision for you and your prescriber.

Units chart at 2.5 mg/mL

Same amount, different water volumes

Adding more water doesn't change how much DSIP is in the vial. It only spreads it over more liquid, so each draw is bigger and easier to read.

For any other vial size or amount, the free peptide reconstitution calculator works backwards from the amount you want and suggests a water volume that lands on a clean syringe mark.

How to track DSIP in Dose Track

  1. Add DSIP from the built-in list. It sits next to everything else you take, so a GLP-1, TRT and a few peptides all live in one log.
  2. Save your vial: enter the vial size and how much water you added. From then on every amount you log shows as syringe units, and the reconstitution planner suggests a water volume that lands on a clean mark.
  3. Log each shot. The app subtracts it from the vial, shows what is left, and warns you before you run out.
  4. Set reminders on your own schedule, whether that is daily, weekly or every few days.
  5. Your log stays on your phone.

Frequently asked questions

How much bacteriostatic water do I add to a 5 mg DSIP vial?+
There is no single right amount. More water makes each draw bigger and easier to measure; less water makes it smaller. For example, 2 mL in a 5 mg vial gives 2.5 mg/mL, so 250 mcg is 0.1 mL, or 10 units on a U-100 insulin syringe. That amount is only an example for the math, not a recommendation. The free Dose Track reconstitution calculator works it out for any vial and amount.
How many units is 250 mcg of DSIP?+
It depends on the concentration in your vial. At 2.5 mg/mL (5 mg mixed with 2 mL), 250 mcg is 0.1 mL, which is 10 units on a U-100 insulin syringe, where 1 mL is 100 units. Divide the amount by the concentration to get mL, then multiply by 100.
What is the half-life of DSIP?+
We could not find a published human half-life for this compound. Figures quoted online usually come from animal or cell studies, so we do not list one here.
Can I track DSIP in Dose Track?+
Yes. DSIP is built into Dose Track. You can log each shot next to your other compounds, save your vial and how much water you added so every amount shows in syringe units, see how much is left in the vial, and get reminders. Your log stays on your phone.
