DSIP peptide, or Delta Sleep Inducing Peptide, is a naturally occurring peptide hormone with powerful effects on the body. DSIP peptide is an influential hormone that helps regulate sleep and wake cycles and releases other hormones.
What is DSIP?
As the name may suggest, Delta Sleep Inducing Peptide is a type of peptide with great sleep promoting effects that have been observed in both animal and human studies.
This peptide is naturally present in the body but also comes in synthetic form with comparable effects. DSIP levels vary throughout the day concurrent with circadian rhythm , with lower concentrations present during waking hours and higher levels during sleeping hours.
DSIP peptide works by binding to receptors in the brain that are linked to sleep and relaxation. It helps increase the production of the chemical know as GABA, which slows down brain activity, induces relaxation, and promotes deeper sleep. DSIP may help combat insomnia and improve the duration of time spent in deep sleep, the stage of sleep that is the most restorative to mind and body.
By helping improve the quality and duration of sleep DSIP may offer positive effects such as reduced fatigue, improved memory and daytime alertness, and improved mood.
Other uses for DSIP
In addition to its potential impact on sleep, DSIP has also been studied for several other uses due to its potential interactions with neurotransmitters such as dopamine and serotonin.
DSIP may also be used for:
- Immune function
- Antioxidant and Anti-inflammatory properties
- Anxiety and depression
- Pain Regulation
- Blood pressure
- Regulate circadian rhythm
Although it is generally considered safe when taken in low doses, DSIP should only be used with the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional.
