DELTA SLEEP-INDUCED PEPTIDE

DSIP

DELTA SLEEP-INDUCED PEPTIDE

As it name suggests, DSIP promotes sleep.  In fact, DSIP promotes a particular type of sleep which is characterized by an increase in the delta rhythm of the EEG.

BENEFITS

  • During the active, awake state, DSIP induced higher alertness and better performance.
  • Improved stress tolerance and coping ability.
  • Promotes Delta wave sleep, normalized disturbed sleep.  

Delta sleep-inducing peptide (DSIP) is a naturally occurring peptide that is normally synthesized in the hypothalamus and targets multiple sites, including some within the brainstem.  

DSIP has been described as a sleep promoting substance rather than a sedative.  There is a modulating effect on sleep and wake functions with more significant activity in circumstances where sleep is disturbed. 

When single and multiple injections of DSIP were given in a controlled double blind study, disturbed sleep was normalized, and better performance and increased alertness were seen during awake cycles along with improved stress tolerance and coping behavior.
