DSIP (Delta sleep-inducing peptide) is a well-known neuromodulator & natural sleep-promoting nonapeptide with many other physiologic functions. It is typically found in the brain & easily passes the blood-brain barrier. It has been discovered & heavily studied for over 40 years.
It has been used for the treatment of poor sleep, pain conditions, stress-related symptoms, low testosterone (via stimulation of LH), & even sometimes as an antioxidant.
SLEEP:
DSIP has been described as a sleep-promoting substance rather than a sedative. There is a modulating effect on sleep & wake functions with greater activity in circumstances where sleep is disturbed. There are essentially 5 stages of sleep, these can be broken down into 2 categories REM & NREM sleep. These translate to Rapid Eye Movement & Non-Rapid Eye movement sleep. The problem with many sleep aids is that they change the time or duration of these sleep cycles. The problem with this is these cycles are ALL associated with important physiological processes & anabolic hormone production. DSIP does not change these sleep stages. It increases the ability to go to sleep & offers a more restful sleep.
BENEFITS OF DSIP:
Can restore disturbed sleep patterns
Can promote LH & GH release
Can reduce persistent/chronic pain
Can modulate cortisol production
