Best Compounds for Sleep Quality

Research compounds and peptides that improve sleep quality and recovery - DSIP, melatonin peptides, and relaxation compounds.

DSIP

A nonapeptide discovered in 1977 that modulates sleep architecture by promoting delta wave (deep sleep) patterns and normalizing circadian disruptions.

Dose: 100-300 mcg | Route: Subcutaneous injection

Selank

A synthetic analog of tuftsin with Pro-Gly-Pro for stability. Developed at the Russian Academy of Sciences with anxiolytic and nootropic properties without sedation or addiction.

Dose: 250-750 mcg per spray dose | Route: Intranasal spray

Apigenin

A flavone found in chamomile and parsley, popularized by longevity researchers as part of an evening sleep stack. Biohackers use it for sleep onset, relaxation, and its NAD-preserving and anti-inflamm

Dose: 50 mg per day | Route: Oral capsule

Melatonin

The primary hormone that signals darkness and regulates the sleep-wake cycle. Beyond sleep onset, biohackers use it for circadian alignment, jet lag, and its potent antioxidant and mitochondrial-prote
