DSIP is a naturally occurring neuropeptide primarily known for its role in regulating sleep cycles and promoting deep, restorative delta-wave sleep. It is also studied for its potential in modulating the stress response, reducing pain perception, and influencing hormone release.
- Sleep Regulation: DSIP is not a sedative but a sleep-promoting substance that appears to work with the body's natural processes. It helps to normalize disturbed sleep patterns by:Increasing the duration and efficiency of slow-wave (delta) sleep, which is the deepest and most restorative stage of sleep.
- Stress and Mood Modulation: DSIP helps regulate the body's response to stress. It can decrease levels of the stress hormone cortisol and modulate the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, leading to improved stress tolerance, reduced anxiety, and better mood.
- Hormonal Influence: DSIP has been linked to the release of certain hormones from the pituitary gland. It can stimulate the release of luteinizing hormone (LH) and growth hormone (GH), which are important for recovery, metabolism, and repair.
