Basis by Elysium

I read all about the benefits of increased NAD+ and ordered a 6-month subscription. Why I did not do any due diligence is beyond me. I have since learned that you can get the same ingredients in supplements FAR CHEAPER using Amazon and other sources.

Fair warning: I'm only one month (one bottle) into the 6 months subscription and they claim online the "cannot" cancel and refund unused portions of your subscription! This approach is borderline scam.

I won't speculate as to whether or not the ingredients do what people say. I only intend to help others not make the same very expensive mistake that I did.

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

When it first came out, I was intrigued. The science made sense to me, and at my age, I could feel myself start to slow down. After about three days, I felt a difference: more energy, less fog, didn't want to nap in the afternoon, etc.

I then stopped for a few days, and before long I was back to my previous self. Repeated the process a few times. Every time I stopped, it felt like someone took out my batteries.

That was years ago. A while back, I decided to double the dosage, and things got even better. This is the only supplement I take. I've given jars to my friends, mostly good, but didn't work for everyone.

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

After seeing no benefit from the Basis product and finding that I could get the same mix at Amazon much cheaper, I started trying to cancel my monthly subscription. 4 months, 5 emails and 3 phone calls later they still are shipping to me. I am going to try BBB, small claims court, and ask my credit card company to cancel any future payments. Note that some time ago I sent them a message asking about a competitive product, the answer was misinformed and showed no knowledge of their product or any other.

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

I am age 73, and I have been taking Basis for over a year. For the first six to eight months I did not notice any specific improvements in the areas outlined in the literature.

At eight months I did start to definitely recognize sustained improvements, specifically in the areas of focus and energy. For most of my life, I have worked seven days a week for several organizations at a time.

Over the past several years I have found it to be increasingly difficult to find the energy to maintain the pace, as well as to consistently focus on the key issues for each organization. However in the past five months or so I have recognized that my energy level has significantly increased and most importantly, my fuzzy thinking has disappeared.

I can't directly relate the change to Basis, but it is the only supplement that I have been taking during this period with no other changes to my health, exercise or diet patterns. It may be a placebo, but in the words of my doctor "if it's working and you are not experiencing any ill effects, don't stop taking it."

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

I have been using this product for over a year. I've read all the reviews, and the naysayers give advice about this product. My conclusion at this time is a positive experience concerning Elysium.

I do feel I am able to concentrate and think clearer now, and my energy level is very good. At 65 and I'm still working full time and as a senior technician, my concentration and abilities to perform are very good. Many supplements we take don't show a result directly as we ingest them but over time reveal their results. I believe my use of this product helps me! As others have stated, when something reveals we are doing well, keep doing what you're doing to live healthier and think with clarity.

I'm a late 40s athletic female and about six weeks into taking this supplement. Almost immediately my sleep has improved; however, I've had some wacky, vivid dreams. I do not feel I have extra energy nor have experienced any joint or body pains mentioned by others. I've received my shipments on time without any hassle. I will update if there are any changes.

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

Like many others have said, it's hard to determine whether or not (or how much) this is working. I have had no negative side-effects, so I have been continuing to take this for about 14 months now. If you pay for the full year up front, the cost is the same or cheaper than you can find anywhere else for the dosage provided. I THINK this has slowly helped with my memory and energy levels, but if so, it’s been very slow and gradual, and too difficult to say with certainty. What I can say though, is that I’ve only been sick once since I started this, and I used to get sick 2-4 times a year. That alone is enough to keep me going on this. I also like the science and the 5 Nobel winners behind it. My thoughts are that they, hopefully, wouldn’t attach their reputations to a scam. Everybody’s system is different, so some may see immediate, obvious effects, while others may be less obvious. If you’re looking for a "fountain of youth," you won’t find that anywhere. Research the science behind this and decide if the investment is worth the upside/possibilities. This isn’t meant to change your life instantly. I’m a 46-year-old male, fairly active.

I take Basis because it has been proven in clinical trials to increase and sustain N.A.D. in my body. As we age, our levels decrease. I am betting on the science of anti-aging and investing now in my late 50's in several areas of anti-aging, including Basis. I have no plans to retire unless I become ill, and taking care of my body with a supplement like Basis is an opportunity that did not exist for my parents and grandparents. The company and science check out. If you can afford Basis, you should take it as prevention.

I would not recommend Basis by Elysium to anyone.

My partner and I decided to start taking an NR & Resveratrol supplement after watching an excellent podcast featuring David Sinclair, Ph.D.

We are both in our 30's and decided to try a month of the ReversalCel supplement from Thorne, followed a month of Basis by Elysium. ReversalCel is great and we are still taking it months later.

Basis by Elysium, on the other hand, caused us both to have issues focusing and sleeping. It also gave me horrible anxiety. We both stopped taking it after about 10 days.

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

I didn't think I signed up for automatic shipments, but I guess it's part of the program. They don't answer the phone, they don't call you back when you leave a message. Their customer service is awful, giving you the impression that it's all about the money to them. It feels like a scam to me, and I've noticed no difference from taking the $50 a month pills.

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

I am 63 years old. I have been taking Basis for going on 3 months. I cannot say I notice any changes in energy, mental clarity or skin changes. I almost think I look older since taking it. But who can say? I said I would try for 6 months and will do so. Probably will discontinue after the 6 months. AT THIS TIME, I will not recommend.

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