Elysium Health
Elysium Health is a dietary supplement company founded by biologist Leonard Guarente. In February 2015, they announced a product called Basis which they state will improve cellular health. The product contains nicotinamide riboside (NR), a precursor to NAD+, and pterostilbene, a polyphenol found in blueberries. The supplements are formulated based on chemicals shown to lengthen the lives of mice and worms in controlled laboratory environments.[1]
The pill contains a chemical similar to nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) used in metabolic reactions.[2] The product is not approved by the FDA and they are selling the product as a dietary supplement directly to consumers for $60 per month ($50 with a subscription).[3]
