Peptides
VIP
Calm inflammation. Support immune balance and easier breathing.
VIP stands for Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide. It is a natural peptide — a short chain of amino acids — that your body already makes. It plays a key role in calming inflammation and keeping your immune system in balance.
People turn to VIP when their immune system runs too hot. It is studied for Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS) and mast cell activation — conditions where the body stays stuck in an inflamed state. It is also studied for lung and breathing support, because it helps relax and open the airways.
The idea behind it is simple. VIP signals through receptors on immune and muscle cells. That signal turns down the chemical messengers that drive inflammation and relaxes the airways and blood vessels. What people look for is a calmer immune response and easier breathing.
At IAM, a licensed provider reviews your health history first and builds a plan around your goals.
Why people choose it
- Lower body-wide inflammation
- Support for a balanced immune response
- Easier breathing through more open airways
- Better blood flow through relaxed vessels
How it works
VIP is a small peptide — a short chain of amino acids — that signals through docking points on cells called VPAC1 and VPAC2 receptors. This signal turns down cytokines, the chemical messengers that drive inflammation, and helps relax and open the airways. The result is a calmer immune response and easier breathing, working alongside your body's own anti-inflammatory pathways.
Who it's for
VIP may fit people managing Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS), those with mast cell activation issues, people looking for lung and breathing support, and anyone seeking help calming an overactive immune response. Your provider reviews your health history to confirm it makes sense for you.
FAQ
Do I need to see a provider before starting VIP?
Yes. A licensed provider reviews your health history and goals before any prescription is issued. If VIP is a fit, your provider writes the prescription and guides your plan.
Will I need lab work?
Sometimes. Your provider decides whether labs are needed based on your health history and goals. If they are, we make the process simple and walk you through it.
How do I get my medication?
Once your provider approves your plan, your medication ships directly to your door from a licensed pharmacy.
