Reconstituting DSIP & Epitalon | Making a Nasal Spray for Sleep (Step-by-Step Guide)
Introduction
Learn how to reconstitute DSIP and Epitalon peptides and create a nasal spray for sleep support. This comprehensive guide covers supplies needed, step-by-step mixing instructions, and proper dosing techniques.
Supplies You'll Need
- DSIP peptide vial (typically 5mg)
- Epitalon peptide vial (typically 10mg)
- Bacteriostatic water (BAC water)
- 3mL syringes with needles
- Alcohol swabs
- 30mL amber nasal spray bottle
- Measuring tape or ruler
Step 1: Prepare Your Workspace
Clean your work area thoroughly and wash your hands. Gather all supplies and ensure everything is sterile. Remove caps from both peptide vials and wipe the rubber stoppers with alcohol swabs.
Step 2: Calculate Reconstitution Volume
For DSIP (5mg vial): Add 2mL of bacteriostatic water to create a 2.5mg/mL concentration.
For Epitalon (10mg vial): Add 2mL of bacteriostatic water to create a 5mg/mL concentration.
Step 3: Reconstitute DSIP
Draw 2mL of bacteriostatic water into your syringe. Insert the needle into the DSIP vial at an angle, directing the water down the side of the vial (not directly onto the powder). Let the water run slowly down the glass. Remove the needle and gently swirl (do not shake) until the powder is fully dissolved.
Step 4: Reconstitute Epitalon
Using a fresh syringe, draw 2mL of bacteriostatic water. Insert the needle into the Epitalon vial at an angle, directing the water down the side. Allow the water to slowly run down the glass. Remove the needle and gently swirl until completely dissolved.
Step 5: Prepare the Nasal Spray Bottle
Remove the cap and spray mechanism from your 30mL amber bottle. Add approximately 20mL of bacteriostatic water to the bottle as your base.
Step 6: Add Peptides to Nasal Spray Bottle
Draw up the entire contents of the reconstituted DSIP vial and transfer it into the nasal spray bottle. Then draw up the entire contents of the reconstituted Epitalon vial and add it to the same bottle. This creates a combined solution.
Step 7: Mix and Prime the Spray
Replace the spray mechanism and cap. Gently swirl the bottle to mix thoroughly. Prime the pump by spraying several times until you get a consistent mist. Each spray typically delivers 0.1mL.
Step 8: Dosing Instructions
Typical dosing: 2-3 sprays per nostril before bedtime. This provides approximately 0.4-0.6mL total, delivering a combined dose of both peptides. Start with a lower dose and adjust as needed based on your response.
Step 9: Storage
Store your nasal spray in the refrigerator between uses. The combined solution should remain stable for 30-45 days when refrigerated. Label the bottle with the date of preparation.
Tips for Best Results
- Always blow your nose gently before using the spray to clear nasal passages
- Tilt your head slightly forward when spraying
- Alternate nostrils with each spray
- Use the spray 30-60 minutes before bedtime for optimal sleep support
- Keep the spray bottle upright when not in use
