In partnership with Elysium Health
When it comes to
personal health, most of us strive to be healthier. One of the best ways that
you can improve your overall well-being is by working to improve your cellular
health. Your cells are the very foundation of your personal health. Therefore,
you need to make sure that you are keeping yourself well when it comes to the
building blocks of your body. We want to exercise more and eat better to do
that. Additionally, certain supplements can serve as further support for your
well-being.
Elysium Health is
a consumer health company that has the mission of helping people live
healthier, longer. Dr. Leonard Guarente, the co-founder of the company, works
as the chief scientist of Elysium Health as well as the director of the Paul F.
Glenn Center for Biology of Aging Research at MIT. He has conducted significant
research on the genetic and molecular causes of aging.
Elysium Health
works with world-class scientists and clinicians (the company’s research partners
include Harvard, Oxford, and Cambridge) to hasten scientific discoveries. The
goal of the company is to translate advances in science and technology into
clinically-validated health products that work.
The first product
created by Elysium Health is Basis, a daily supplement meant to support
cellular health. Basis is based on 25 years of aging research. When Basis is
taken daily, it is proven to increase and sustain levels of NAD+. NAD+ is a
coenzyme that is essential to many of our cellular functions, such as circadian
rhythms, energy creation, DNA protection, and hundreds of others. NAD+ declines
in levels as we age, and those processes stop functioning.
Basis allows you
to take if you follow a strict diet or have any dietary allergies, because the
supplement is vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, nut-free, and free of any
artificial flavors and colors.
To ensure that
Basis works as intended, Elysium Health put the supplement through a clinical
trial. The trial demonstrated that taking the recommended dose of Basis daily
increased levels of NAD+ in humans by an average of 40 percent. The results
were published in the online science journal npj: Aging and Mechanisms of Disease.
To include Basis
in your own daily routine, purchase it on Elysium Health's website. The company sells Basis in a variety of monthly subscriptions,
as well as in individual jars. Each jar contains 60 capsules (the recommended
daily intake is two capsules). A regular month-to-month subscription costs $50
each month. The most popular plan is the six-month prepaid subscription to
Basis for $270, which breaks down to $45 per month. Elysium also offers a
one-year subscription for $480, or $40 per month. An individual jar costs $60.
To offer a new
way to buy Basis, Elysium Health has partnered with the tech retailer b8ta to
sell the supplement in stores. Pick up a jar of Basis while discovering other
unique products at one of b8ta's locations now until the end of June.
