NAD+ drips and peptides: Is biohacking the secret to anti-ageing or overhyped?

The article explores the growing trend of biohacking, particularly focusing on treatments like NAD+ IV drips and peptide injections, which are marketed as solutions for anti-ageing and improved health. These methods are popularized by celebrities and influencers who claim benefits such as increased energy and youthful appearance. However, concerns arise regarding whether these treatments are backed by solid medical science or are merely expensive fads. Dr. Siddharth Govender explains that while some biohacking practices may offer benefits, they often blur the lines between legitimate medicine and wellness marketing. He emphasizes the importance of consulting healthcare professionals before undergoing such treatments.
