Description
This is VIP peptide, supplied by LA Peptides as 10mg of freeze-dried powder in a sealed vial. Every batch has its own certificate of analysis, and you can pull it up by scanning the QR code on the side of the label. It’s for laboratory research only.
What is VIP?
VIP (vasoactive intestinal peptide) is a 28-amino-acid neuropeptide. It works through two receptors, VPAC1 and VPAC2, which are spread across the gut, lungs, heart, brain and immune cells.
Its classic effects are relaxing smooth muscle and widening blood vessels. It’s also part of the brain’s master clock in the suprachiasmatic nucleus.

What the research says
Sami Said and Viktor Mutt found VIP in 1970 in pig intestine, which is where the name comes from. Since then it’s been studied in lung, gut, immune and circadian research.
An inhaled form, aviptadil, has been tested in human trials, but VIP isn’t approved by the FDA for any use.

Checking the batch COA
Every batch gets its own certificate of analysis, and the QR code on the VIP peptide label takes you straight to it. Look for the lot number, the test date and the purity figure. If the lot on the paperwork doesn’t match the lot on the vial, set the vial aside until it’s sorted out.
File the COA with the rest of your study notes. If results ever shift between batches, it’s the first thing you’ll want to check.
VIP peptide reconstitution and concentration
How much liquid you add decides the concentration. For a VIP peptide vial holding 10mg:
- 1ml of bacteriostatic water gives 10mg/ml
- 2ml of bacteriostatic water gives 5mg/ml
- 3ml of bacteriostatic water gives about 3.33mg/ml
Choose whichever volume makes the math simplest for your protocol, and label the vial with the concentration and the mixing date.
Storing and mixing
Unopened, the VIP peptide vial is happiest in a fridge at 2 to 8°C, or frozen for longer storage. Let it warm up to room temperature before you break the seal, so condensation doesn’t get in.
Most labs reconstitute it with bacteriostatic water. Add it slowly against the glass, then roll the vial between your fingers until it clears. Shaking can damage peptide chains, so skip that. Refrigerate the mixed solution and use it within about a month. A peptide case helps if vials travel between benches.
