Peptide

Vasoactive intestinal peptide is an endogenous neuropeptide involved in vascular, gastrointestinal, and immune signaling. Exogenous human work includes experimental IV migraine provocation; it does not establish VIP as a general therapeutic supplement.

Pharmacokinetic model

A route-level PK model for vip peptide is being prepared from published data. Dosing references, studies, and documented interactions are below; the app catalog is updated as models are validated.
