What it is
›
VIP is a signaling peptide used intranasally for immune balance and chronic inflammation.
• Best for: chronic inflammatory states such as CIRS
• Form: almost always a nasal spray
• Often used late in a recovery protocol, not first
How it works
›
It calms immune and inflammatory signaling across the body.
• Acts on VIP receptors system-wide
• Helps rebalance an overactive immune response
• Supports lung, gut, and brain signaling
Dosing and mixing
›
Reference tiers only. Track the dose you are already taking.
Low
1 spray, once daily
FOR Easing in to check tolerance
BENEFIT Often picked as the lower-frequency tier while users assess flushing
Standard
1 spray, up to 4 times daily
FOR The common protocol dose
BENEFIT The cadence most often cited in VIP protocol discussions
High
As directed in a protocol
FOR Guided chronic-inflammation programs
BENEFIT Reserved in discussions for use under a structured plan
Schedule: Intranasal, spread through the day. Often run for months.
Beginner ramp: Start with one daily spray, then build up.
Ranges are reference only, not a recommendation. See Sources & research below.
How to take it
›
Used as a nasal spray, not an injection.
• One spray per nostril as directed
• Expect brief flushing at first
• Refrigerate the bottle
What to expect
›
Week 1
Possible brief flushing as you start.
Weeks 2 to 4
Inflammation markers may begin to settle.
Months 1 to 3
Main window, used as part of a longer protocol.
Keep in mind
Usually the last step after addressing root causes.
Side effects
›
Commonly reported
• Flushing
• Brief blood-pressure changes
See a clinician if
• Dizziness or fainting
Storage
›
Keep the spray cold.
• Refrigerate the bottle
• Keep out of light
• Do not freeze
Common stacks
›
• VIP + BPC-157: people pair these when both immune and gut research are relevant

Chronic inflammation use
Used in CIRS protocols to help rebalance immune signaling.
