How It Works

  1. Decide which peptide you think is right for you. Not sure which one? Our nurse will help you choose.
  2. Link up with us on the phone or video. Pick a time with our nurse, then fill out a short health form (about 10 minutes). If it’s right for you, you can get your prescription the same day, on the call.
  3. Get the product shipped to your house, or pick it up in the store. Then we’ll discuss the best way for you to get it, whether you pick it up at our clinic or have it shipped to your house at no extra charge.

Is DSIP Right for You?

DSIP is prescribed only after a consultation. People usually ask about it when sleep quality, not just sleep quantity, is the issue.

Adults whose main concern is shallow or unrefreshing sleep

People navigating high-stress periods

Anyone who prefers to address sleep before reaching for stronger options

A free consultation with our medical team is the first step to see if it is appropriate.

What DSIP Is Studied For

DSIP, or delta sleep-inducing peptide, is a nine-amino-acid peptide first isolated from the brain in 1977. Research has looked at its relationship to delta-wave (deep, slow-wave) sleep and to the body’s stress-regulation systems. It is a research peptide, so any use is individualized and prescription-only.

Delta-wave, or deep restorative, sleep

Sleep quality and sleep-wake regulation

Resilience to physical and mental stress

What the Research Shows

Most DSIP research dates from 1977 to the 1990s, mostly in animals. The human sleep studies were small, typically under 20 people.

1977, Rabbits (PNAS)

Researchers isolated DSIP from rabbits, then infused it and eight related peptides into rabbit brains under double-blind conditions. Only DSIP increased the slow-wave brain patterns linked to deep sleep.

1992, 16 Patients With Chronic Insomnia (Neuropsychobiology)

In a double-blind trial of DSIP or placebo over three nights in a sleep lab, measured sleep improved slightly, but the effects were weak and the authors judged a major benefit unlikely.

2006, Review (Journal of Neurochemistry)

A review concluded that the idea of DSIP as a natural sleep factor was still weak and poorly documented, partly because no DSIP gene or receptor had been found.

DSIP is not FDA-approved for any use. These studies don’t show that it treats any condition in people, and safety data in people are limited. Your free consultation with a nurse practitioner is the place to talk through what is and isn’t known.

Important Information

Most peptides are not FDA-approved for the uses discussed publicly, and are prescribed at the discretion of a licensed provider after an individual evaluation. A peptide is not appropriate for everyone, and individual results vary.

Peptide therapy at Cienega Medical is available by prescription only. You start with a consultation with one of our nurse practitioners, who reviews your health history, your goals, and whether a peptide is appropriate for you. If it is, they write the prescription and we prepare it for your visit. If it is not, they will tell you that too.

What Is DSIP?

DSIP (delta sleep-inducing peptide) is a research peptide, the subject of academic and preclinical studies.

It is not an FDA-approved drug.

In the U.S. it is available as a compounded prescription through licensed pharmacies.

Prescribing is up to your provider, after a consult with our medical team.

FAQ

  • What is DSIP, and what is it studied for?

    DSIP, or delta sleep-inducing peptide, is a nine-amino-acid peptide studied in relation to sleep. The human research on it is limited and dates mostly to the 1970s and 1980s. A single-bottle blend containing DSIP, BPC-157 and CJC-1295 is also available. Which one fits, if either, is a decision your nurse practitioner makes with you at the free consultation.

  • Is DSIP FDA-approved?

    No. DSIP is not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for any use. It is available by prescription at Cienega Medical after a free nurse practitioner consultation, where you can discuss what that status means before deciding whether to proceed.

  • What are the risks of DSIP, and who should avoid it?

    DSIP is not right for everyone. Your nurse practitioner reviews your health history, current medications and existing conditions before prescribing, and will tell you if it is not a fit. Bring your current medication list to your free consultation.

  • What does it cost, and what is included?

    Bottle prices are listed on this page. Every order includes one medication review fee, which covers the review and managing your prescriptions, and is charged once even when prescriptions go out as separate orders the same day. The consultation itself is free.

  • How do I start?

    Pick a time for a free telehealth visit with a nurse practitioner, by phone or video. Before your visit, you fill out a short health form. They go through your health history, your current medications and what you are trying to achieve, then tell you whether this is a sensible fit. Not everyone is, and if you are, they write the prescription and you pay for your bottles plus one medication review fee.

  • Where does my prescription come from?

    Your prescription is filled by a licensed U.S. 503A compounding pharmacy.

  • How long does a bottle last, and how do refills work?

    That depends on what your provider prescribes, so it is not something we can put a number on here. Your nurse practitioner tells you at your review roughly how long a bottle should last for you and when it would make sense to order again. You can order as many bottles as your nurse prescribes while you’re on the call, and when you need more, book another call online or call us. Each call where you order adds one $49 medication review. Nothing renews on its own. If you’d like bottles sent on a regular schedule, ask your nurse: it’s worked out case by case, since everyone’s prescription is different.

  • Can I collect it or have it shipped?

    Both. Collect at West Hollywood, Santa Monica or Calabasas, where we pack it for you and show you how to inject it, all covered by the medication review fee. Or we ship it to your home anywhere in California, at no extra charge.
