DSIP vs Pinealon
A detailed comparison to help you understand the differences and choose the right peptide for your research goals.
DSIP
Delta Sleep-Inducing Peptide is a neuropeptide that promotes delta wave sleep, the deepest and most restorative phase of the sleep cycle.
Full details →Pinealon
Pinealon is a short synthetic peptide developed from research on the pineal gland. It has shown neuroprotective and cognitive-enhancing properties in animal studies.

| Aspect | DSIP | Pinealon |
|---|---|---|
| Mechanism | Modulates sleep-wake cycles by affecting sleep spindles and delta rhythms. May also influence stress hormones and have analgesic properties. | Penetrates cell membranes and interacts with DNA to regulate gene expression related to neuronal survival and function. May support pineal gland function and melatonin production. |
| Typical Dosage | Typical dosing: 100-300mcg administered 30 minutes before sleep. Some protocols use it cyclically. | Typical dosing: 10-20mg daily, taken in divided doses. Often used in cycles of 10-20 days. |
| Administration | Subcutaneous or intramuscular injection before bedtime. Some users report better results with cyclical use. | Can be taken orally (capsules) or sublingually. Best absorbed on an empty stomach. Often combined with other neuroprotective peptides. |
| Side Effects | May cause grogginess upon waking, vivid dreams, or temporary headaches. | Generally well-tolerated. Limited reported side effects. May affect sleep patterns initially. |
