What is Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+) and why is it important?

NAD+, or nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, is a critical coenzyme found in every cell in your body, and it’s involved in hundreds of metabolic processes — but NAD+ levels decline with age. NAD+ has two general sets of reactions in the human body: Helping turn nutrients into cellular energy as a key player in metabolism and working as a helper molecule for proteins that regulate other cellular functions.

What is Nicotinamide Riboside (NR) and why is it important?

This form of Vitamin B could be the key to increasing NAD+ levels — here’s why. Nicotinamide riboside is often called NR for short, and it’s a precursor to NAD+, meaning it's the raw material from which your body makes NAD+ through a series of chemical transformations. Human clinical studies, including ours, have shown efficacy of NR supplements in increasing NAD+ levels.

What is Pterostilbene and why is it important?

Pterostilbene is a polyphenol, a type of molecule that occurs in plants, particularly small berries and nuts. Blueberries are a particularly rich source of pterostilbene; although it is found in grapes, pterostilbene (unlike its cousin resveratrol) doesn’t survive the wine-making process.

Is there anything I should notice once I start taking Basis?

Basis is designed to work beneath the surface, so its primary purpose is not to deliver surface-level results. Taking Basis is an investment in the long-term health of your cells, and you may not feel different despite the improvements happening inside your body. Everyone’s physiology is unique and results vary from person to person.

What are the results of your clinical trial?

Elysium conducted a first-in-humans study demonstrating clearly that Basis can increase and sustain cellular NAD+ levels. Participants in the trial experienced a 40% average increase in cellular NAD+ levels within a month, which was maintained for the duration of the trial. We also tested a variety of biological markers to add to the existing body of evidence confirming that the ingredients in Basis are safe.
