The Cycle Protocol
To prevent the body's receptors from becoming desensitized over time, DSIP is prescribed on a structured cycle. Cycling allows receptors to reset so the peptide continues to be effective.
- Protocol length: 12 weeks on
- Break: 2 weeks off after each 12-week cycle
- Provider check-in: Every 4 weeks throughout the protocol - send a message update to your care team to review your treatment plan and progress
After the 2-week break, your provider will assess your response and recommend whether to extend, taper, or move to a maintenance schedule.
