VIP 5mg

Based on current research, VIP shows promise in treating the following:

Auto immune disease

The polypeptide known as vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) affects the gut, heart, and respiratory and nervous systems. It also regulates circadian rhythms.  

With its widespread activity in the body the following are some of its promising therapeutic possibilities:

BRAIN HEALTH

VIP can help regulate circadian rhythms, as it plays a crucial role as a neurotransmitter in your sleep/wake cycle.

INFLAMMATION

VIP can help control joint inflammation and can inhibit the destruction of cartilage and bone in arthritis. It functions as a macrophage deactivating factor.

IMMUNE SYSTEM

VIP can have a positive impact on the immune system. It decreases inflammation by blocking pro-inflammatory cytokines and increasing the production of anti-inflammatory cytokines.

HEART/LUNG HEALTH

VIP is promising for heart and lung health thanks to its impact on smooth muscles. VIP has a powerful dilating effect causing the smooth muscle in your blood vessels, respiratory tract, digestive tract, and other organs to dilate and relax. VIP can improve blood circulation and open up airways. It may be an effective treatment for conditions like pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), asthma, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

GUT HEALTH

This peptide hormone can be extremely useful for gut health. It helps maintain a healthy intestinal wall by promoting differentiation, proliferation, and cell adhesion of your intestinal epithelial cells. VIP is antimicrobial toward certain bacteria and promotes the proliferation of beneficial gut bacteria. It also regulates both stomach acid secretion as well as water and ion absorption in the large intestine.
