SCAM! Tried to cancel and they just keep sending.

By Reno, CA, Verified Reviewer

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

Not sure yet...

By Peggy, Virginia, Verified Reviewer

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

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

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

They make it difficult to stop automatic shipments

By trudy glone, Verified Reviewer

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

Basis: Maybe Excellent, Maybe Not

By john kannerly, Copiague, MA, Verified Reviewer

I am taking the recommended dosage of two Basis caps per day. I noticed an almost immediate positive effect after just a few days, but I'm well acquainted with the placebo effect (Google it), and I am a bit of a hypochondriac, so I'm going to give myself six months before reevaluating where I am in some specific benchmark areas: General energy level; Recovery time after heavy activity; Degree of wakefulness during waking activities; Quality of sleep; and Ability to rise in the morning without that awful "sleep hangover" feeling. I plan to take Basis for the year either way, as I think that should be a sufficient amount of time for change at the cellular level to manifest. If I continue to feel good and getting better, I will continue taking it! The capsules are not large and are easy to take, with no unpleasant odors, tastes, or afterburn in the gastric tract. As a previous poster mentioned, I take them with a full glass of water - always a good idea.

I should add that I am a chronically ill person, having suffered an auto accident that left me with permanent disabilities for which I take daily medications. I have seen and felt the negative effect these daily medications have had over the past few years, and I'm not looking for a fountain of youth in Basis, but rather looking to supplement my own body's ability to rebound, and to raise my general level of health, so that perhaps I do not need to take as many daily medications in order to have a reasonable level of energy and recovery for an overweight 54 year old man, which is me. I'm also working on incorporating some better lifestyle changes - cleaning up the diet, getting some daily exercise - in short, I'm taking Basis not as a panacea for my own body's aging, but rather as a part of a plan to implement better pathways to feeling good as a part f my daily program of life. I hope that makes sense. I do think anyone taking Basis in the belief that it is some mystical, miracle cure is bound to be disappointed, because that kind of thing just doesn't exist. Good health is a journey, not a destination, and you get there by taking each day as you go, making positive decisions regarding your health one step at a time.

Good luck to everyone giving this a try - I hope you find some improvement in the way you feel!

Three week experience

By Joel Dunn, Cypress, Texas, Verified Reviewer

I am a male, 65 years old. I am over weight and have the usual problems that come with it. My experience after three weeks is interesting.

1. I sleep a lot better.

2. My dreams are more vivid and I remember them clearly.

3. My thought processes is keener.

4. I am starting to become more active. My base line for activity started out as a coach potato.

Now for the record I am not jumping over tall buildings or running a marathon. I plan to continue with the program and see where it takes me. I will update my review if I feel there is anything I can add.

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

I've been taking Basis daily for 6 months

By Dave, Arizona, Verified Reviewer

I'm 46 and I've decided to try Basis for 1 year and then decide whether to continue.

I can't say I feel any different or that I know that it is working. I can however say that I haven't been sick in that time (unusual for me) and I feel great.

I have no evidence that I feel great because of Basis and Basis does not claim to boost immunity so my health is probably a coincidence.

I have started running again and I do feel like I have more energy. Whether this is because I'm taking better care of myself or because of Basis, it is impossible to say.

I do have to say their customer service is excellent.

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

Neutral feelings

By Judith Sutton-Fagan, New York, Verified Reviewer

I am taking Basis by Elysium for three months now, and I do not feel any change, neither negative or positive. I almost feel like I'm more tired, but don't know if that is from Basis, which it probably is NOT. They told me the cells inside my body would be experiencing the effect of Basis, but there is no way I can be sure. I'm continuing to take it, just because I hope it is working, and I was impressed with the scientific team that worked on it.

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