Dosage by Use Case
Sleep Improvement
2–4 weeks
Administer subcutaneously 30-60 minutes before bedtime. Start with a lower dose to assess individual sensitivity.
Stress Reduction
2–4 weeks
Administer subcutaneously in the evening, may help regulate HPA axis activity. Monitor cortisol levels if possible.
Pain Management
2–4 weeks
Administer subcutaneously, effects may be potentiated with other analgesics. Monitor pain levels closely.
Alcohol Withdrawal Support
Up to 7 days during acute withdrawal
Based on preliminary research. Administer subcutaneously. Should be used in conjunction with standard medical protocols for alcohol withdrawal.
Timing & Frequency
DSIP is best administered 30-60 minutes before bedtime to align with its sleep-promoting effects. Consistent timing each day can help regulate the circadian rhythm. For stress-related applications, evening administration is generally preferred.
Cycle Guidance
Most preclinical studies used short-term protocols (2-4 weeks). Given the limited long-term human safety data, cycling is a prudent approach. A common approach involves a 4-week cycle followed by a 2-week break. Monitoring sleep quality and stress levels can help guide cycle length and frequency.
Reconstitution Reference

| Common Vial Size | Typically 1-2 mg per vial |
| BAC Water Volume | 1 mL bacteriostatic water for 1-2 mg/mL concentration |
| Concentration & Draw | At 1 mg/mL: 100 mcg = 0.1 mL (10 units on a 100-unit insulin syringe) |
| Storage | Refrigerate at 2–8°C after reconstitution. Keep lyophilized powder at room temperature or refrigerated. |
| Stability | Reconstituted solution stable up to 7-10 days refrigerated. Lyophilized powder stable 12-24 months per manufacturer specifications. |
