Explore the science behind our products.

Elysium’s January newsletter includes our survey for the study of COVID-19, a study on the effectiveness of vitamin C as an adjunctive therapy, the autobiography of Nobel Laureate and Elysium Scientific Advisory Board member Martin Karplus, and more.

In this month’s Abstract, we look to different corners of science for some good news: we cover a potential newfound benefit of the “bodybuilding” supplement AKG, a promising treatment for the devastating genetic disorder progeria, and meet a group of Bay Area friends who devised a pandemic risk calculator to help users spend less time assessing safety and more time living their lives.

Like most companies, Elysium transitioned to remote work in early March in response to COVID-19, a first for our company. Still, we’re thankful to recall 2020 as a year with a number of meaningful accomplishments, including the launch of Matter, our breakthrough brain health product developed with Oxford, an important partnership with Yale to license DNA methylation biomarkers, and progress on 16 preclinical and human clinical studies.

As we near the end of a challenging year, science continues to provide hope with progress on many fronts. In this month’s Abstract, scientists alter gene expression to restore lost vision in mice, Scientific American recaps the most exciting emerging technologies, researchers uncover the link between music, math, and reading, and more.

Elysium's December news includes Matter featured in Gear Patrol's 100 Best New Products of 2020, a profile of our Director of Bioinformatics, a guide to improving neuroplasticity, and more.

The more we learn about the brain, the more we understand the complexity of its relationship to all aspects of our human experience. In this month’s newsletter: the science of how touch (and oxytocin) helps integrate all of our senses, a new study on PTSD and the aging brain, an updated view of the cerebellum’s role in biology, and more.

With so much change and uncertainty in the world, we’re thinking about how our perspective changes — and why. In this month’s Abstract, groundbreaking discoveries are awarded the Nobel Prize, the neuroscience behind our subjective experience of time, and how the skin microbiome is upending beliefs about cleanliness.

The Matter launch was our big news of the summer, but there’s a lot more happening with our products and partnerships behind the scenes. In this month’s newsletter, news about Elysium in Forbes and AGEIST, the best way to improve your sleep fitness overnight, and a “microbial Noah’s ark.”

Spending the night in? Watch one of these science documentaries about memories, dreams, creativity, music, and more.

In this month’s Abstract: a revolutionary approach to omega-3 supplements, how reading fiction boosts empathy, the most googled neuroscience questions, and more.

Take an end-of-summer tour into the science of the human brain with our favorite reads, from a tour of human consciousness to the biology of trauma.

In this month’s newsletter, we’re fine-tuning the brain and the body, with a cutting-edge and edible beauty routine, a brand new podcast about living our best lives, a very brainy talk by one of our scientists, and an exclusive workout that challenges your brain and your body.

You’ve probably heard that omega-3s are important for your health, but do you know why? Discover how they’re different from other fats, and how to make sure you're getting the right amount.

This important amino acid has been attracting attention in the science community for its role in overall health.

NAD+ is essential to the creation of energy in the body and the regulation of pivotal cellular processes. Here’s why it’s so important, how it was discovered, and how you can get more of it. 

How fast have you been aging? Let us explain.

This form of Vitamin B could be the key to restoring NAD+ levels — here’s why.

Your body acts like an efficient factory to keep the coenzyme NAD+ active throughout your life. Here’s how it works and how you can help the body make more NAD+.

This potent polyphenol is promising in scientific research because of its molecular structure and bioavailability. But it might be able to do more than we even know.

Sirtuins help regulate your cellular health. Here’s what you need to know about how they work, what they can do for your body, and why they rely on NAD+ to function.

If you zoom in on your body’s most fundamental activity, you’d see cells and molecules hard at work. You might be surprised to learn that some of the most vital players at work are ones you’ve never heard of.

NR is a highly efficient precursor to NAD+, but its cousin molecule NMN is raising eyebrows as the new kid on the block.

You’ve heard of this vitamin, and you’ve maybe even taken it, but do you really know what it does? Or where it comes from? Here’s what you need to know.

These two forms of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide are not exactly the same thing, but they’re chemically similar. It’s complicated. We'll explain.

These molecules become NAD+ over a series of chemical transformations. Here’s what you need to know about each one.

Why does the label say “Supplement Facts” rather than “Nutrition Facts”? And who decides your recommended daily value of vitamins and minerals, anyway? This primer explains.
