Elysium Health

Elysium Health is a dietary supplement company founded by biologist Leonard Guarente. In February 2015, they announced a product called Basis which they state will improve cellular health. The product contains nicotinamide riboside (NR), a precursor to NAD+, and pterostilbene, a polyphenol found in blueberries. The supplements are formulated based on chemicals shown to lengthen the lives of mice and worms in controlled laboratory environments.

The pill contains a chemical similar to nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) used in metabolic reactions. The product is not approved by the FDA and they are selling the product as a dietary supplement directly to consumers for $60 per month ($50 with a subscription).

The sole supplier of the two ingredients in Elysium Health's Basis, Chromadex, filed lawsuit against Elysium Health, Inc. for $3M in damages for nonpayment. The suit states that the executives of Elysium Health were unwilling to pay for the ingredients delivered.
