Description
VIP 10mg from Ameano Peptides is 10mg of VIP in a sealed glass vial. VIP is a neuropeptide. It’s intended for lab research only.
What is VIP?
Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) is a 28-amino-acid neuropeptide found in the gut, brain and immune system. It relaxes smooth muscle, widens blood vessels and has anti-inflammatory effects.
It belongs to the glucagon/secretin family.
VIP mechanism of action
VIP works through two receptors, VPAC1 and VPAC2, which raise cyclic AMP inside cells. In smooth muscle that means relaxation, so blood vessels widen and the gut and airways loosen.
On immune cells, VIP turns down inflammatory cytokines like TNF-alpha and IL-6 and pushes T cells toward a regulatory profile. That’s the basis for its study in arthritis, lung and gut inflammation.

What the research says about VIP
VIP was first isolated by Said and Mutt in 1970. Delgado and colleagues later reported it reduced inflammation in mouse arthritis models.
An inhaled form, aviptadil, has been tested in lung disease.
The primary literature is on PubMed. Here’s a search for VIP studies to start from.
VIP 10mg quality and batch records
The purity spec for VIP 10mg is 99% or higher by HPLC, and that’s the floor for each batch.
Each vial is labeled with the compound, the amount and a batch number. The certificate of analysis is filed under that batch number, so if you need the COA for your records, email us the number on your label and we’ll send it.
Keep the batch number with your records. It’s the quickest way to match a vial to its paperwork later.
Reconstituting VIP 10mg
Concentration is just the amount in the vial divided by the liquid you add. With 10mg in this vial:
- 1mL of diluent gives 10mg/mL
- 2mL of diluent gives 5mg/mL
- 3mL of diluent gives 3.33mg/mL
Choose the volume that suits your measurements. Mark the vial with the concentration and date so nobody has to guess later.
Research diluent solution or bacteriostatic water both work. Add it slowly so it runs down the side of the vial, then swirl or roll until everything dissolves. Shaking can shear peptide chains. Skip it.
VIP 10mg storage and shelf life
The dry powder keeps best cold: 2 to 8°C in the fridge, or -20°C for long-term storage. After reconstitution, store it in the fridge and finish it within roughly four weeks.
What you need with VIP 10mg
Most labs order VIP 10mg with a diluent so they can mix it the day it arrives. Our research diluent solution is sold right next to it. The vial opener and the vial case are small extras, but they make handling a stack of vials easier.
