What Is It?
DSIP
Delta sleep-inducing peptide.
Bacteriostatic Water
Sterile water containing a bacteriostatic preservative, commonly used when preparing multi-use research vials.
How To Mix DSIP
1
CleanUse alcohol swabs to clean the tops of both vials.
2
Draw BAC WaterDraw the selected amount of bacteriostatic water.
3
Inject SlowlyAdd the liquid slowly down the side of the vial.
4
Swirl GentlyDo not shake. Swirl gently until dissolved.

Best Practices & Common Mistakes
Best Practices
- Use sterile technique.
- Protect from light and heat.
- Store refrigerated when appropriate.
- Use clean syringe-unit math before measuring.
Common Mistakes
- Confusing milligrams with milliliters.
- Choosing an option with awkward decimal units.
- Using too little liquid for very small measurements.
- Shaking the vial aggressively.
DSIP Storage & Handling
Lyophilized Powder: −20°C (−4°F) for long-term storage (up to 24 months). Refrigeration 2–8°C (36–46°F) for short-term use (up to ~3 months). Original sealed vial in the freezer is safest.
Reconstituted Solution: 2–8°C (36–46°F), use within ~7–14 days. Keep sealed, avoid light, and do not repeat freeze-thaw cycles.

Frequently Asked Questions
Convert mcg to mg by dividing by 1000. For example, 100 mcg = 0.1 mg; 300 mcg = 0.3 mg; 600 mcg = 0.6 mg. Enter this decimal value in the “Desired dose” field. The calculator works with decimals. Double‑check that you entered mg, not mcg – entering 300 mg instead of 0.3 mg would be 1000× too high and likely show “Poor” or impossible volumes.
With 10 mg in 1 mL, concentration = 10 mg/mL. For 0.2 mg, volume = 0.02 mL = 2 units on a 100‑unit syringe. The calculator marks any volume below 4 units as “Poor” because it is extremely difficult to measure accurately (high relative error). To fix this, use a larger BAC volume or a smaller vial: e.g., 5 mg vial + 2 mL BAC → 2.5 mg/mL → 0.2 mg = 0.08 mL = 8 units → “Usable” or “Good”. Even better: 5 mg vial + 5 mL BAC → 1 mg/mL → 0.2 mg = 0.2 mL = 20 units → “Best”. The color coding guides you.
For a 0.3 mg dose on a 100‑unit syringe, aim for units that are multiples of 5. Examples:
5 mg vial + 5 mL BAC → 1 mg/mL → 0.3 mg = 0.3 mL = 30 units (×5 → Best)
6 mg vial + 3 mL BAC → 2 mg/mL → 0.3 mg = 0.15 mL = 15 units (×5 → Best)
10 mg vial + 5 mL BAC → 2 mg/mL → 0.3 mg = 0.15 mL = 15 units (×5 → Best)
5 mg vial + 2 mL BAC → 2.5 mg/mL → 0.3 mg = 0.12 mL = 12 units (not ×5, but “Usable”)
The calculator highlights green (Best) for the most accurate draws. Avoid 1 mL BAC with small doses.
5 mg vial + 5 mL BAC → 1 mg/mL → 0.3 mg = 0.3 mL = 30 units (×5 → Best)
6 mg vial + 3 mL BAC → 2 mg/mL → 0.3 mg = 0.15 mL = 15 units (×5 → Best)
10 mg vial + 5 mL BAC → 2 mg/mL → 0.3 mg = 0.15 mL = 15 units (×5 → Best)
5 mg vial + 2 mL BAC → 2.5 mg/mL → 0.3 mg = 0.12 mL = 12 units (not ×5, but “Usable”)
The calculator highlights green (Best) for the most accurate draws. Avoid 1 mL BAC with small doses.
Yes, if you reconstituted with bacteriostatic water and store the vial refrigerated (2–8°C). Bacteriostatic water preserves the solution for about 28 days. For a typical dose of 0.3 mg, a 5 mg vial gives about 16 doses (5 / 0.3 = 16.6). If you use it every night, that’s about 2 weeks of doses, well within the 28‑day limit. The calculator’s “Doses per vial” display helps you plan. Always check for cloudiness or particles before drawing.
No, the calculator only performs dilution math. It does not account for pharmacokinetics, half‑life, or potency loss. DSIP is known to degrade very quickly in the body, and some research protocols use higher doses (e.g., 0.5–1 mg) to compensate. The calculator will give you the correct units for whatever mg dose you enter, but you must determine the appropriate dose from scientific literature. Always verify dosing protocols independently.
Practical takeaway: If your real goal is weight or metabolic health, the most useful next step is discussing approved treatment options with a clinician rather than relying on an unapproved compound.
