About DSIP

DSIP is a nine-residue peptide isolated in 1977 from rabbits in which slow-wave sleep had been induced by electrical brain stimulation. Despite decades of study, no specific receptor or gene for it has been identified, and human sleep studies have produced inconsistent results.

DSIP calculator questions

How much bacteriostatic water do I add to a 5 mg DSIP vial?

The calculator does not prescribe a volume; the right choice depends on how large you want each draw to be. As arithmetic: 5 mg in 2 mL gives 2.5 mg/mL, so each unit on a U-100 syringe holds 25 mcg. Use the “Water to add” tab to work backwards from a draw size.

What concentration does DSIP have after reconstitution?

Concentration is the vial mass divided by the water volume. For example, 5 mg in 2 mL is 2.5 mg/mL. Check the certificate of analysis for net peptide content, which is usually lower than the label.
