Peptides and NAD

Many of our patients at Funk Facial Plastic Surgery will ask Dr. Funk about the recent popularity of peptides and NAD for anti-aging and wellness.  These are small proteins or building blocks of our body that are naturally found in a balanced diet.  Most of these supplements are not FDA approved and questionable in their efficacy.  Not to mention, there are no long term studies on humans that show the benefit of peptides or NAD or risks and side effects involved.  Currently, the effects and benefits are merely anectodal.
