DSIP (Delta Sleep Inducing Peptide) is a naturally occurring neuropeptide that plays a role in promoting deep sleep and regulating the sleep-wake cycle. It is known for its ability to induce slow-wave sleep (SWS), the most restorative phase of sleep, and has been studied for its potential benefits in improving sleep quality and reducing sleep disorders like insomnia.
In addition to its sleep-promoting effects, DSIP has been explored for its potential to reduce stress, promote relaxation, and improve overall well-being. It is thought to act by influencing the central nervous system, possibly by modulating neurotransmitter systems related to sleep and stress response. Some studies also suggest it may have neuroprotective properties, improving brain function and recovery.
DSIP is typically used in research settings, and while its therapeutic potential is being explored, it is not widely used clinically yet.
