Our take
Elysium is led by, and works with a network of, decorated scientists to produce health supplements which mostly target anti-ageing and immune health. Its first product, Basis, hit the headlines for its focus on supporting long term health at a cellular level by increasing NAD+ levels, a coenzyme which plays a huge role in bodily function yet decreases with age.
While there is no pill for eternal youth, a proven method for slowing down the ageing process would no doubt prove extremely popular. While Elysium’s product has been shown to increase NAD+ levels by a significant amount, the jury is still out on whether they actually work to extend lifespan.
That said, the fact that the company was co-founded by Leonard P. Guarente – an MIT biologist best known for his research on life span extension, adds plenty of weight to its reputation. With plenty of funding already secured from investors which include Mayo Clinic Ventures, Elysium is now aiming to expand its product portfolio while growing its customer base.
