Change How You Age

Scientists have made incredible progress in understanding how aging works in the last 25 years, and one thing they’ve learned is that a molecule called NAD+ is hugely important. It’s indispensable for life, and we lose it as we age. Now it’s possible to get more NAD+ with Basis.

Thanks to science, you can change how you age.

How Basis Works

The culmination of more than 25 years of aging research, Basis is a proprietary formulation of crystalline nicotinamide riboside and pterostilbene that supports cellular health by increasing and sustaining NAD+ levels and activating sirtuins.

From NR to NAD+

Your body has a natural process for turning the nicotinamide riboside in Basis into NAD+.

Sirtuin Activation

The pterostilbene in Basis activates your sirtuins, also known as the “guardians of the genome.”

A Healthy You

NAD+ and sirtuins are essential for your cellular health: creating energy, maintaining healthy DNA, and regulating sleep/wake cycles.

Basis 101

Take a tour of the science and history that led to Basis with an animated explainer. Go even deeper with two stories that explain the role of NAD+ and sirtuins in aging.

NAD+: The Hardest Working Molecule in Biology

Scientists call NAD+ the “golden nucleotide” because it’s a key player in so many biological functions, like creating energy, keeping DNA healthy, and regulating circadian rhythms.

Sirtuins: Guardians of the Genome

Sirtuins are proteins that play a vital role in health and aging. They need NAD+ to work — a discovery made by Elysium’s chief scientist, Dr. Leonard Guarente.

Basis Increases NAD+ Levels, Safely and Sustainably

Our double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial demonstrated that Basis can increase NAD+ levels by an average of 40 percent.

Setting A New Standard for Quality and Purity

Most companies that make health products source their ingredients from the lowest cost third-party suppliers, which often requires a trade-off with respect to quality. At Elysium Health, quality is first and foremost.

Pretty quickly after starting Basis I noticed that my usual walk to work was easier to do and my jogging route was also much easier to complete. I have more energy at work and have cut my caffeine consumption as a result.
