Basis by Elysium Health
Basis is the first product that has been released by Elysium Health. It is proven to increase and sustain levels of NAD+ in our cells. NAD+ is a coenzyme that is known to decrease within the human body as a result of aging. NAD+ is essential to many important functions within the body, including regulating the body’s circadian rhythms, which are important for maintaining proper rest cycles. NAD+ also is required for energy creation and protecting the body's DNA.
Basis contains two active ingredients that help to maintain NAD+ levels. Nicotinamide riboside, a precursor to NAD+, which the body uses to power metabolism, and pterostilbene, a powerful polyphenol similar to resveratrol, but more bioavailable.
Basis is different from many of the other health products that are available on the market today. The difference comes from the fact that 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, demonstrated proved that Basis increases and sustains NAD+ levels in humans by an average of 40 percent.
Basis was designed to be used by adults long-term. The product is quite easy to take. Two capsules should be taken every day, ideally in the morning. Virtually any adult can take Basis because it is vegetarian, vegan, nut-free, and gluten-free, as well as free of any artificial flavors and colors.
Purchasing Basis
Those who want to start taking Basis have a number of options. Individual bottles of the product may be purchased for $60. However, there are more cost-efficient plans available. A regular monthly subscription costs $50 per month. Prepaying for six months upfront costs $270, which breaks down to $45 per month. Prepaying for an entire year of the supplement costs $480, which is only $40 per month.
Elysium Health is also developing new products that focus on cognitive health, skin health, muscle function, and circadian rhythms. These products are currently in various stages of pre-clinical and clinical trials.
