What studies have looked at
Each point says who or what was studied and what the study reported, with its source and the date we checked it. These are findings from the sources cited, not advice or a promise of any result.
- In humans
In 8 people with primary pulmonary hypertension, VIP lowered mean pulmonary artery pressure and raised cardiac output and mixed venous oxygen saturation. The authors reported no side effects; the abstract describes no control group.
Source: PMID 12727925, checked 1 Nov 2026
- In humans
An open phase 2 study in 20 people with active sarcoidosis, with no control group: VIP lowered TNF-α production by cells from lung washings and raised the number of regulatory-type T cells. It was well tolerated.

How to track it in Peptimes
Add VIP in My Protocols and set the schedule you already follow: days of the week, times of day and a start date. Peptimes never suggests an amount when you log or schedule a dose. Its Library entry shows the status label “Not FDA-Approved”.
- Routes: nasal, subcutaneous or Other. Choose the one that matches each dose.
- Logging: the amount you took, the route and how you feel.
- Injection sites: subcutaneous doses record the site, and Insights shows where you’ve injected and how recently. It never suggests where to inject next. Nasal doses and doses logged as Other skip this step.
- Reminders and history: reminders at your times, Dose History, the Calendar and CSV or JSON export work as described on the peptide tracker app page.
Peptimes is a tracking app, not medical advice. Talk to a licensed clinician about your treatment. Peptimes doesn’t sell VIP or any other compound.
