DSIP
Discuss sleep concerns with a nurse practitioner.
How Much Does DSIP Cost?
How it works
Start with a free consultation
Tell a nurse practitioner about your health history and goals. There is no obligation to buy medication.
Review your options
If treatment is appropriate and you choose to proceed, your provider reviews the medications with you. The review fee is charged once for that encounter, including prescriptions ordered separately that day.
Choose your bottles
Pay for the bottles prescribed for you, with no subscription or automatic refill. Buying several together does not add another fee to the same medication review. You see the total before agreeing.
Pickup with teaching, or delivery
At clinic pickup, we show you how to use your medication and answer your questions. This teaching is included in the review fee. Prefer delivery? We ship to your home anywhere in California at no extra charge. If you cannot get to a clinic and would like to be shown how to inject, we can do that over video.

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
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 small peptide composed of nine amino acids that was first isolated in 1977 from the brains of laboratory animals. It is classified as a research peptide and is the subject of academic and preclinical scientific literature. DSIP is not an FDA-approved drug. In the United States it is available as a compounded prescription through licensed pharmacies, prescribed at a provider’s discretion after a consult with our medical team.

-
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 pricing is shown above. Every order includes one medical 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?
Book a free consultation with a nurse practitioner, online or at any of our three locations. 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 the one review fee.
-
Where does my prescription come from?
Your prescription is filled by a licensed U.S. 503A compounding pharmacy.
-
How long does one 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. There is no subscription and no automatic refill, so you order again only when you decide to.
-
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 review fee. Or we ship it to your home anywhere in California, at no extra charge. If you cannot get to a clinic and would like to be shown how to inject, we can set up a video visit and walk you through it.
