NAD+ Levels and Healthy Aging go Hand-in-Hand

Research published in Nature Aging suggests that a clear association exists between NAD+ and health status in human aging. NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is found in every cell in your body. It is essential to the chemistry that keeps you up and running.

Unfortunately, NAD+ levels decline universally as we age.

Unlock Cellular Healthy Aging

Target aging at the source—your cells. Increase your NAD+ levels with Basis for healthy aging, to boost cellular energy, and maintain healthy DNA. Developed by Elysium chief scientist and renowned aging researcher Leonard Guarente, Ph.D. Increase and sustain NAD+ levels by 40% to:

  • Promote healthy aging, feel good for your age
  • Promote cellular energy and reduce general tiredness and fatigue
  • Fight aging at the cellular level and protect your DNA from stressors
  • Support collagen and ceramide synthesis for healthy skin
  • Support healthy muscle function

How can you increase your NAD+ levels? Basis is the evidence-based choice

We now have a way to safely and sustainably boost NAD+ levels. Developed by Dr. Leonard Guarente, a leader in the field of aging research, Basis was clinically proven to increase NAD+ levels by an average of 40% in a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial published in the peer-reviewed journal Nature Partner Journals: Aging and Mechanisms of Disease.

Boosted NAD+ activates sirtuins, supports cellular energy and metabolism, targets cellular aging to promote a healthy cellular aging process, and helps maintain healthy DNA.

Why is Basis unique among NAD+ supplements?

Basis is clinically proven to safely and sustainably increase NAD+ by an average of 40% in humans. Elysium’s toxicology study also confirmed the superiority of the NR-E in Basis when compared to the published safety profiles of other NAD+ supplements, underscoring the company’s rigorous commitment to research and quality. 

The synergistic combination of Elysium’s proprietary and high-purity nicotinamide riboside (NR-E) with potent antioxidant pterostilbene (PT) makes Basis extraordinarily effective. Basis is also third-party tested by independent labs both during and after manufacture for purity and quality, and is independently verified as NSF Certified for Sport.

Meet Basis’s Powerful Core Ingredients

Basis contains two powerful ingredients to combat cellular aging:

  • Nicotinamide Riboside Chloride (NR)

    NR is a naturally occurring form of vitamin B3 and a highly efficient precursor to NAD+—the raw material that the body uses to make NAD+ via a two-step process. This precursor has been shown to preferentially elevate NAD+ compared to nicotinic acid and nicotinamide, also called niacin.
  • Pterostilbene (PT)

    A powerful polyphenol naturally produced by plants to protect against internal and external stress. The potent combination of NR and pterostilbene in Basis is designed to increase NAD+ levels and counter the decrease in the activity of sirtuins, which occurs with normal aging.

    Basis Journey

     

    Hour 4

    You just took Basis-nothing could be happening yet, right? Actually, the nicotinamide riboside is already making big moves. It enters your cells via equilibrative nucleoside transporters, membrane proteins that shuttle molecules across.
    *Individual results may vary. This timeline may differ from the typical purchaser's experience and is not intended to represent or guarantee that anyone will receive the same or similar results.

    Day 01

    NAD+ levels are already on the rise at the cellular level. You can expect support for increased cellular energy, improved mitochondrial function, house keeping for your proteome and genome, and cellular
    protection from everyday stressors (for example, oxidative stress). Not bad for a day's work.

    Day 14

    NAD+ levels continue to rise in your cells and throughout your body. Keep doing what you're doing while Basis works in the background.

    Day 30

    Now results are really adding up. If you had all the gear for NAD+ analysis from whole-blood lysate, you could see for yourself. (Instead, you can read our scientific paper.) Your cellular NAD+ levels arenow 40% higher than they were on day one, and that's where they'll stay if you keep taking Basis.Where is all this NAD+ going? Studies suggest that NR supplementation increases NAD+ and affects NAD+-related metabolites in multiple tissues at 30 days-including your muscle and brain.

    Day 60

    You've logged 30 days of elevated and sustained NAD+ levels in your cells and tissues. That's a bigdeal because 330 billion cells turn over each day. Colon epithelial cells, for example, turn over in 3-5days while the upper layer of the skin, or the epidermis, takes roughly 39 days to regenerate. NAD+can help with supporting these processes and tissue health. In your skin, more NAD+ can support theprocess of synthesizing ceramide and collagen. Our first human clinical trial on Basis also showed preliminary evidence for supporting liver health and results from our latest, 6-month, human clinicalstudy (published in Hepatology) confirmed these initial findings in healthy adults with non-alcoholic fatty liver.

    Day 180

    A lot happens in six months. What's changed in your life? With Basis, it's all starting to add up-to systemic health benefits. Basis is supporting multiple tissues and systems, in a sustained manner. For example, one study showed that six months of increased NAD+ levels reduced transepidermal waterloss-a measure of overall skin health and barrier function.

    Day 365

    Congratulations on your first year. NAD+ deolines by as much as 50% every 20 years, according to research. But human studies are beginning to show an association between NAD+ abundance andhealthy aging status. Keep taking Basis to counteract the age-related decline of NAD+ and to build on a year's worth of benefits. Just like with exercise, sleep, and diet-consistency is key.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      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. These processes are incredibly important.

      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.
