More clinics are offering treatments for longevity and anti-aging in Australia.

Many people are interested in biohacking and wellness, making it a growing industry.

About 100 new operators have started in Australia in the last few years.

These clinics offer various treatments that promise to make people look younger and have more energy.

But are these treatments safe and effective?

Here are some popular treatments and what we know about them.

NAD+ infusions are a popular treatment that can cost over $500.

NAD+ is a substance that helps our cells make energy.

Clinics claim that NAD+ infusions can help with energy and anti-aging.

NAD+ infusions are invasive procedures.

There is a lot of research on NAD+, but it's not clear if it works for anti-aging.

An expert says there is no evidence that NAD+ infusions are safe or effective.

NAD+ is important for cell health, but it can also help cancer cells grow.

NAD+ infusions can have extra risks like injection site infections.

The government has not approved NAD+ infusions because they have not been tested for safety.

A health agency has warned that some treatments may not be supported by science.

Intravenous vitamin therapy is another popular treatment.

This treatment involves infusing vitamins into the bloodstream.

Clinics claim that vitamin infusions can boost immunity and energy.

But research shows that vitamins may not have any benefits for healthy people.

An expert says that just because something has not been proven, does not mean it does not work.

High doses of vitamins can be harmful, and some vitamins can cause nerve damage.

Vitamin infusions can have risks like injection site infections.

Vitamin infusions are considered medical procedures and are regulated by the government.

Red light therapy is a treatment that uses light to improve skin health.

Clinics claim that red light therapy can improve skin rejuvenation and blood flow.

Some studies show that red light therapy can have benefits, but more research is needed.

Red light therapy is generally considered safe, but it can cause mild side effects.

The government regulates red light products that are used for medical purposes.

Products that are only for cosmetic purposes are not regulated.

Peptides are short chains of amino acids that can have health benefits.

Some peptides are approved, but many are not and are marketed for health and beauty benefits.

Unapproved peptides can have serious health risks and are not supported by science.

People often take multiple peptides together, which can increase the risks.

The government has warned that unapproved peptides can be harmful and are not regulated.

It is illegal to advertise or sell unapproved peptides to consumers.

The government has said that consumers should be careful when considering unapproved treatments.
