Elysium Health and Its Supplement Basis

Tweet

In partnership with Elysium Health

Eating a healthier diet and exercising more frequently are usually the two habits that we think about when we set a goal to live healthier. But certain supplements can further help us support our well-being.

Elysium Health is a health company  that is translating advances in science and technology into clinically-validated health products that work. Elysium was co-founded in 2014 by Dr. Leonard Guarente. Dr. Guarente is the chief scientist at Elysium Health and the director of the Paul F. Glenn Center for Biology of Aging Research at MIT. The company has partnered with  prominent academic institutions like Oxford, Harvard, and Cambridge to fulfill its mission of solving the biggest challenges in health.

The leadership team at Elysium Health seeks to serve the broader health community. Eric Marcotulli directs the vision as the CEO of the company. Before becoming the CEO, he worked at Sequoia Capital as its youngest partner to lead growth investing in mobile technologies. Eric earned his BA from Princeton University and his MBA from Harvard Business School. Dan Alminana works as the COO of the company, in charge of the operational and financial elements of Elysium Health, having previously worked in venture capital at JP Morgan Securities, where he launched and led its Silicon Valley venture capital coverage unit.

Elysium Health makes a daily supplement called Basis designed to support cellular health. Nicotinamide riboside and pterostilbene are the two ingredients that make up Basis. When combined together, the two increase and sustain levels of NAD+ in our cells. NAD+ is an essential coenzyme to many of our cellular functions. As we age, our levels of NAD+ decline naturally.

To ensure the effectiveness of Basis, Elysium Health put the supplement through a clinical trial. The results of the study, which were published in the online science journal npj: Aging and Mechanisms of Disease, proved that Basis increases and sustains NAD+ levels in humans by an average of 40 percent.

To include Basis in your daily routine, purchase it on Elysium Health's website. The company offers Basis in a variety of subscriptions. A regular month-to-month subscription costs $50 each month. The most popular plan is the six-month subscription to Basis for $270, which breaks down to $45 per month. You can also purchase a one-year subscription to Basis for $480, which breaks down to $40 per month. Individual jars cost.

Basis is a vegan, vegetarian, gluten- and nut- free supplement. That allows you to stick to your diet and avoid any related food allergies.

Elysium Health is also in the process of developing new products. These focus on cognitive health, muscle function, skin health, and circadian rhythms. These products are currently in various stages of pre-clinical and clinical trials.
