Basis by Elysium

I am updating the review to low since Elysium isn't purchasing their Niagen from ChromaDex anymore. And, the product sold by Elysium is now alleged to be contaminated with the toxin Toluene. Read online from attorney Shelly Albaum.

I gained tremendous benefit from the usage of Niagen and Pterostilbene combo. Elysium used to source them through ChromaDex. My purchases are now from Amazon.

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

I had a bad reaction taking this and developed severe pain in my arms. I'm on Aspirin therapy, so I'm guessing this caused a reaction. After stopping, the pain went away, so I would not take this if you're on meds like me.

As a Microbiologist and Doctor, I was intrigued by the claims. My wife and I both took two capsules daily at the same time in the morning. Neither of us can say it had any noticeable effect on us at all. We are still as tired as ever, LOL. No extra energy or pep.

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.

I ordered Elysium after reading about it and many reviews. It seemed like a good idea. As a science type approach to my supplements, the only variable was the addition of Elysium to my daily routine. I don't know if cellular energy is supposed to be painful, but after a couple of days, I noticed aches and pains in parts of my body that don't normally experience that; shoulders, neck, legs. Some days it felt as though everything just hurt.

And it didn't help with my sleeping. My strength actually declined and going to the gym and/or running was becoming a chore not the enjoyable adventure of pushing myself as before.

I continued, thinking maybe it was just my body getting used to a new substance. However, I got tired of feeling like you know what.

I stopped taking Elysium after about three weeks (that was two days ago), and I am starting to feel "normal" again. The gym tonight was awesome; that aggressive approach that is actually fun.

I don't know if this is a unique perhaps side effect that only happened to me, but I thought enough of it to write this review to give folks another viewpoint.

I am very physically active, have been since my teens; I am now in my 50's and am not slowing down.

As for the one star, it wouldn't let me leave no stars. No supplement should make anyone feel that bad.

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.

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

1) I thought I would try this product based on some online info.

2) Tendons and muscles started aching after about 2-3 weeks, especially arms and shoulders.

3) Strength was decreased.

4) My mood was depressed. I didn't seem to have energy.

5) Pushed through the aches and mood for about 3 months, and then cut back to half dose. No change, so STOPPED taking it after month 4.

6) Just checked my credit card statement and saw a recurring charge, which is a month too early. I tried to contact them to cancel. Their website would not open and the phone number (888-220-4636) rings busy.

7) I will try again and I will dispute the charge with my card issuer, if the charge is not refunded.

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

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.

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.
