VIP
Vasoactive immune support
Vasoactive intestinal peptide — the master regulator nasal protocols are built on.

Research chemical vendors can't legally label products with the real name, so VIP often appears under coded SKUs. If you're shopping and see any of these, it's the same compound:
- VIP
- Aviptadil (Rx)

Your draw
What it actually is
A 28-amino acid neuropeptide that regulates vascular tone, immune modulation, and circadian rhythm. Dr. Ritchie Shoemaker's CIRS protocol uses VIP as the final repair step after mold/biotoxin exposure.
Why people use it
- Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS) and mold illness
- Pulmonary hypertension and sarcoidosis
- Most commonly delivered intranasally rather than subcutaneously

Typical timeline
General pattern for the Immunity category. Individual response varies.
- Week 1Subtle. Sleep may improve as inflammation drops.
- Weeks 2–4Fewer minor infections, better recovery from training or travel stress.
- Post-cycleBenefits carry for weeks. Bioregulator-style cycles (20–30 days on, then off) are typical.

Common combinations experienced users run alongside VIP. Always add one peptide at a time so you can attribute effects and side effects.

The reconstitution math
- 1Reconstitute the 10 mg vial with 10 mL of bacteriostatic water. Tilt — don't shake.
- 2Concentration becomes 1,000 mcg/mL (1 mg/mL).
- 3For a 100 mcg dose, draw 0.100 mL — that's 10 units on a 1 mL insulin syringe.
- 4One vial gives you approximately 100 doses.
Reminder: 100 units on an insulin syringe = 1 mL. Always start at half the listed dose for the first week and rotate injection sites between arms, legs, abdomen, and glutes.
