Elysium Health is just three years old and has already built a dedicated community of scientists, doctors, biohackers, and entrepreneurs.
Known for its commitment to clinical trials and research partnerships with prestigious institutions like Harvard, Cambridge, and Oxford, Elysium is bringing breakthroughs in health directly to consumers (and disrupting the $40 billion supplement industry along the way). In short, Elysium is completely reinventing how we invest in our health.
Basis is the one daily supplement your cells need to support long-term health. It’s the culmination of more than 25 years of aging research — much of it by our co-founder, Leonard Guarente, PhD, director of the Paul F. Glenn Center for the Biology of Aging Research at MIT.
Basis works by replenishing levels of a coenzyme found in all living cells called NAD+. We need NAD+ for hundreds of essential metabolic functions like creating energy, regulating sleep/wake cycles, maintaining healthy DNA, and activating sirtuins (genes that control longevity in lower organisms) — but NAD+ levels decline as we age and those functions can break down. Basis is the only supplement that’s clinically proven to increase NAD+ levels by 40 percent in humans
Elysium demonstrated this increase in a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial conducted on healthy adults taking Basis. The study’s results were published in the peer-reviewed science journal Nature Partner Journals: Aging and Mechanisms of Disease in November 2017.
Elysium Health hasn’t discovered the fountain of youth, but their new supplement–with the backing of some of the world’s foremost authorities on aging–could change how you age.

Leonard Guarente, Elysium’s chief scientist and co-founder–who also directs the Glenn Center for Biology of Aging Research at MIT–says Basis is not intended to extend people’s life spans, but to help them stay healthier for longer.

NAD+ replacement is one of the most exciting things happening in the biology of aging.
MIT Technology Review
NAD+ is vital to how cells use energy, a key
player in metabolism.

When [Elysium's cofounder, Dr. Leonard] Guarente’s lab discovered [new] ways to activate sirtuins, he founded the supplement company Elysium to sell that technology directly to public.

Still, the pill’s seduction was powerful. The potential benefit was profound. The cost seemed manageable. And any qualms I might have had about whether this was simply next-generation snake oil faded in the halo of Elysium’s scientific advisory board.

I really enjoy the health benefits that I have experienced since I began taking Basis. I value equally the open way in which Elysium Health represents itself and works with its customers. Good luck in 2018.

Cellular health is important. We now have access to this supplement that improves so much of our health. The science research behind it is excellent!

Great product! I recommend especially for
people over 50.

Because my background is in biochemistry, I thought, 'Okay, that kind of makes sense.' I dug more into the scientific literature and started taking Basis.

I was buoyed by the idea that these people had confidence in the research and were proficient in it. That’s what brought me to Elysium. I take my two Basis capsules every day. That's the first thing I
take every morning.

I’ve always been interested, not so much in the fads, but in the actual science. I don’t see Basis as a typical supplement. I’m not just replacing a chemicalI’m not getting in my diet. I’m sending a signal to produce more of this naturally-occurring molecule in a chain or linkage that affects other parts of my cell structure — and I think that’s a different approach.
