DSIP
Discovered in 1977 and studied for sleep. Human results have been small and inconsistent.
DSIP was first isolated from rabbits during induced sleep. Interest in it as a sleep aid dates back decades.
What the research shows
- Small human studies in the 1980s gave conflicting results on sleep quality.
- Researchers still don't know how it works or which receptor it acts on.
- No modern controlled trials exist.
Doses used in research
No human dose has been established. This compound hasn't been through published human dosing trials, so any dose you see online comes from anecdote, not research.
