Vasoactive intestinal peptide 10mg (VIP) research vial
Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) is a natural chain of 28 amino acids; the 10mg vial sells for 3,000,000 VND ($120 USD). Peptides Ho Chi Minh last confirmed what a VIP vial costs on 11 October 2026; every VIP paper below links to PubMed.
What is VIP?
Nerve cells in the gut, the brain and other organs make VIP.
It widens blood vessels and acts on many cell types, immune cells included.
Good to know
Aviptadil, the lab-made VIP in the lung failure studies, is the form most human work used. The migraine trial is the one human study here of an unwanted effect.
VIP in a migraine trial and two reviews
- Human trial, 2021. 21 people who get migraines had VIP and a placebo, in turn. The trial tested whether VIP sets off migraine attacks: 15 had a migraine after VIP, and 1 after the placebo.
- Review, 2025. A review of 9 studies of aviptadil, a lab-made VIP, in severe lung failure, looking at survival and oxygen levels. In 2 trials, it did not help people live longer.
- Review, 2021. How VIP and its relative PACAP work through their receptors in brain, immune and cancer research.
A well known natural hormone with decades of lab research, but few human trials. One finding belongs on this page as a warning, not a claim: the 2021 trial found VIP can set off migraine attacks in people who get them.
How to read this
VIP is a natural hormone, and its human record here is short. The 2021 migraine trial gave VIP to 21 people who get migraines, and a placebo in turn, to see whether it sets off attacks; read it as a warning about an unwanted effect. The lung failure studies used aviptadil, a lab-made VIP, in very sick people. The 2021 review is a map of the research, not a test.
The VIP paper trail
The 2021 migraine trial used a crossover design, so each person had both VIP and a placebo, on different days. The 2025 review covered 9 studies of aviptadil in severe lung failure. The 2021 review follows VIP and its relative PACAP through their receptors.

Questions about VIP
What has research on VIP looked at?
Its natural roles in gut, nerve and immune research. One trial where it set off migraines. Lung failure studies of a lab-made form, with no survival gain in 2 trials.
Is aviptadil the same as VIP?
Aviptadil is a lab-made form of VIP. The 2025 review covered aviptadil in severe lung failure, and in 2 trials it did not help people live longer. Those results are about aviptadil in that setting, not about this vial.
Where does VIP come from?
From the body's own nerve cells. Nerve cells in the gut, the brain and other organs make VIP, and it acts on blood vessels and on many cell types, immune cells among them.
How large is the VIP literature?
Very large. On 18 October 2026 we counted 16,037 PubMed records for vasoactive intestinal peptide or polypeptide. Human trials are few among them, so this page lists one trial and two reviews.
