Forget reviewing the product

By Steven Lovett, Los Angeles, CA, Verified Reviewer

I would love to have the ability to write a review of my own, but just getting the product to the customer seems to be a problem for this company.

I watched as they told me it was delivered via Elysium's tracker and rushed home to find nothing. I logged into a screen message that said don't worry it might appear over the next few days in the shrubs or with a neighbor? I asked all my neighbors and checked all around, waited four days, and called the company. Nothing but voicemail. I left my info three times and finally got an email and a voicemail from Elysium saying they were sorry and are sending an overnight replacement out. Three days later FedEx calls me and tells me they have my name and my cell but I have the wrong address so they can't talk to me about the package but only give me the name of the company that sent it, Fosdik, which I assume is some Elysium distributor as I am expecting no other package.

Regardless, I am over it. If they can take my money right away, they can get my info correct and get me the product in the same fashion. I am canceling my monthly and will be looking for a different supplier to try this product.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Not great service

By AmyS, Hawaii, Verified Reviewer

I signed up for six months (big mistake). The second order arrived too late, so I was without the product for a week. They didn't respond to my email about it, so I finally called them. For your information, even though the potential for shipping issues remain, they refuse to send the other four bottles I have already paid for at one time. "Oh, we just can't change the way we do our orders."

So buyer beware of this. No refunds, no flexibility. Not impressed with this company. Effects have been negligible to none for two months. If I continue, it's not going to be with this company.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Clearly a scam

By R K., New Jersey, Verified Reviewer

Basis is a slow poison and you won't notice its effects unless you take it for a long time.

I have been taking Basis for some time now, and I have started to get anxiety for small things which never used to happen before. I have completely stopped taking it, though I don't know if I will be normal again. I didn't see any difference in sleep or waking up more refreshed/energetic.

I do know that Elysium people will do anything for money. I had taken a yearly subscription, but after I started feeling too much anxiety, I asked them to cancel my subscription and refund the remaining money. I also offered them to charge individual purchase rate for the months, they have sent me the Basis, but they flatly refused.

Their mantra is money, money, money.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

False product

By Emily K., Wilsonville, OR, Verified Reviewer

Elysium is a scam. I had a terrible experience. Never experienced their claims of what the product would do for you. I decided to cancel my membership (they lock you in immediately) and of course when I did they had conveniently sent me another bottle and charged my account and I couldn’t cancel it or get a refund. Now, why is that? It’s considered a "final sale" now, I wonder why?! Because your product is a freaking scam of course...they are just stealing money people. Don’t waste your time. Most legit businesses that have wonderful and legit products care about the happiness of their customers...this place doesn’t care what so ever...once again it’s because it’s a scam. You’re welcome. I just saved all of you hundreds of dollars.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Cautiously Optimistic

By Mark McKenna, Nanuet, NY, Verified Reviewer

I'm a 64-year-old man who's used Basis for a month. I've noticed a few changes. I am sleeping more deeply, I'd say 20% better.

Another thing struck me. I don't usually run and haven't for, I'm guessing, a year. The air quality here has been poor all summer. We finally had a cooler day with good air last week. Usually, when I haven't run I go one mile and do okay. This time, when I hit the one-mile mark I kept going and ran two miles. I was a little sore the next day and more sore the second day, as is usual. (I also hiked about 7 miles up and down hills on the second day.) But to run an extra mile was unusual. At the time, it felt totally normal.

So I think something is happening but I don't know what it is.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Did NOT do anything it claimed to do!

By Cynthia A Taylor, Lodi, CA, Verified Reviewer

I purchased the 1-year program in July of 2016.

I have some health issues including nerve damage to my left ear, neuropathy, and brain damage.

This supplement claimed to reverse or improve my situation. It was like taking a placebo except, my MD has now referred me to Nephrology, as my MD believes this supplement has caused damage to my pancreas, liver, and kidneys.

Not all medicines are for everyone, and that goes for supplements, too! I did try and call them but got a voice mail saying they would call me back. I called during office hours: 09:00-17:00 EST today. I'm thinking a small claims court filing should satisfy at least the cost of the product that has done this damage to my internal organs.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

No basis for Basis

By Pat Wales, Colorado, Verified Reviewer

I'm 77 and in good health. I exercise regularly, eat moderately, and drink a couple of glasses of wine most days. I took a half-dose (1 pill daily) of Basis by Elysium for six months and noted no changes to energy, dreams, or general health.

On the other hand, I have recently experienced more tender skin; if I brush by an object or am scraped by something my skin is easily scratched or torn, leading to an ugly blue bruise. To combat this, I've cut back on taking the prescribed baby Aspirin I've taken for years. This problem may have no relationship to the Basis, but it doesn't support the claim that the supplement is making me younger at the cellular level. I don't plan to continue taking Basis.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Worth a try

By Jene Moseley, Silver City, NM, Verified Reviewer

OK. From reading everyone's reviews, there is a very wide range of satisfaction with this product. I really think the reason for that is the huge variety in each person's response to the product. Remember that some people develop cancer, heart disease, and diabetes. Others do not. Some people are old in their early 60s while others are fairly strong and healthy in their 90s. We are all unique, and that includes their response to this product. I've only taken TWO doses of NAD+ and already noticed a huge increase in energy and decrease in joint stiffness. I'm 79, but that's how I'm responding. So, give it a try, but be aware of its limitations and also your own responses.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Auto shipping

By Tom Wilt, Orlando, FL, Verified Reviewer

This is the second time in six months I’ve run out of product due to their inability to ship on time. I can reach them on the phone, but nothing changes. They just don’t seem to care.

I’m going to try Amazon.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Treated fairly

By Mario C., Kingston, NY, Verified Reviewer

I took Basis for a few months and began to have difficulty with my anticoagulation medication. When I notified the company, they were quite gracious and canceled my subscription. I would urge anyone taking anticoagulants to be careful with this product. Other than that problem, I was disappointed that I couldn’t continue.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Impressed!

By Nancy, California , Verified Reviewer

I'm a healthy, active 54-year-old female at 5'4", 115lbs. I've been taking Basis for 10 days now and have noticed the following:

  1. More energy – I run, hike, or go to the gym almost every day and have noticed a significant burst of energy that lasts all day.
  2. Mental clarity – my thought process seems clearer. I am able to focus better on my tasks. I tend to be a little ADD and this seems to be helping.
  3. Sleep pattern hasn't changed
  4. Skin and hair seem to look better but not sure yet if it's something else I'm doing or if it's Basis.

I take no other supplements at this time and eat a very healthy diet. I'm going to start Vitamin D 2000 every other day and see if I notice any difference. I only ordered one months supply of Basis but will continue to take it for six months and evaluate from there.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
