Withdrawal, pain, antioxidants, and the lifespan claim

DSIP’s reputation extends well past sleep, into addiction withdrawal, pain, antioxidant protection, and even lifespan. Some of these have real, if dated, human reports; others are rodent-only signals that marketing inflates into health claims.
