DSIP reconstitution calculator

DSIP at a glance

5mg vial + 2mL BAC water = 4 units = 100mcg — Frequency: daily — Best taken: bedtime

Full DSIP dosing reference — reconstitution per vial size, dose-to-units table, side effects and sources.

What it does

• A peptide studied for its potential role in regulating slow-wave (deep) sleep.
• Research has looked at effects on sleep architecture, stress response, and pain sensitivity.
• Experimental compound, not FDA-approved — human sleep-lab data is limited and mixed.

DSIP may affect GABA and NMDA receptor activity in the brain. Combining it with other sleep medications, benzodiazepines, opioids, or alcohol could increase the risk of excessive drowsiness or unpredictable neurological effects — that rests on how each acts in the body, not on any study of the combination. Disclose current medications to a doctor before use.

Notes

The 5mg reference vial mixes to 2.5mg/mL. Larger vial size options are capped at ~3mL BAC water instead of diluted further, so they come out more concentrated (fewer units per dose) than this reference size.

Side Effects

• Headache, dizziness, or mild nausea.
• Grogginess if taken close to waking.
• Blood pressure changes with IV use in older research.
• No long-term human safety data; not FDA-approved.

DSIP vial sizes and concentrations

Standard water for each DSIP vial size in the Dosify Me data, and the concentration it gives. One unit is 0.01 mL on a U-100 insulin syringe.

^* This size is conventionally mixed more concentrated rather than diluted further — fewer units per dose than smaller vials of this peptide.

Syringe units for the listed quantities, by vial size

Worked example for DSIP

1. The example vial: 15 mg of DSIP, mixed with 3.00 mL of bacteriostatic water.
2. Concentration: 15 mg ÷ 3.00 mL = 5 mg/mL.
3. One syringe unit is 0.01 mL, so it holds 5 mg/mL × 0.01 mL = 0.05 mg (50 mcg).
4. Example quantity: 100 mcg = 0.1 mg.
5. Volume: 0.1 mg ÷ 5 mg/mL = 0.02 mL.
6. Syringe reading: 0.02 mL × 100 = 2 units.

Label numbers from the Dosify Me data, used to show the arithmetic. Not a recommendation of any quantity.

Frequently asked

How many units is 100 mcg of DSIP?

At 2.5 mg/mL (the standard mix for vials up to 5 mg), 100 mcg of DSIP is 4.0 units on a 100-unit insulin syringe (0.040 mL).

How many units is 200 mcg of DSIP?

At 2.5 mg/mL (the standard mix for vials up to 5 mg), 200 mcg of DSIP is 8.0 units on a 100-unit insulin syringe (0.080 mL).

How many units is 300 mcg of DSIP?

At 2.5 mg/mL (the standard mix for vials up to 5 mg), 300 mcg of DSIP is 12.0 units on a 100-unit insulin syringe (0.120 mL).

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

2.00 mL, which gives 2.5 mg/mL. Larger vials hold at most 3 mL of water, so they are mixed more concentrated and need fewer units per dose.

How much bacteriostatic water do I add to a 15 mg vial of DSIP?

3.00 mL, which gives 5 mg/mL. This size holds at most 3 mL of water, so it is mixed more concentrated and the same dose is fewer units than from a smaller vial.

How often is DSIP taken?

Daily. Bedtime Typical cycle: 2 weeks on, ~1 week off; repeat as needed.
