Science

Studied in the lab. Clinically validated in humans.

A fully-loaded product pipeline in various stages of clinical development, Nobel Prize-winning advisors, partnerships with the University of Oxford and Yale University — and much more. At the heart of each one of our initiatives is a commitment to rigorous scientific research.

Product Pipeline

Our current pipeline includes preclinical and clinical trials for skin, microbiome, muscle, cognition, UV damage, menopausal syndromes, and circadian rhythm. Beyond Basis, Matter, Format, Signal, Mosaic, Vision, Cofactor, and Index, we are working with our scientific advisors and university partners to identify promising new research and innovative compounds.

These compounds are all tested for safety and efficacy in placebo-controlled human trials before coming to market.

 

Clinical Trials

Clinical research is incredibly important to us. We study our products in humans so you can be confident that your decisions are based on scientific evidence.

TIME-ZZZ

The Translational Initiative to Map Epigenetics in Sleep (TIME-ZZZ) is a longitudinal, prospective research study that aims to advance our understanding of the interplay between sleep, mental health, and biological aging. All Index users are eligible to enroll. The study can be found on www.clinicaltrials.gov under the identifier NCT06333301.

NADAPT

Initiated at Haukeland University Hospital, this human clinical trial is evaluating the efficacy of NAD replenishment therapy with NR in delaying disability progression and amelioration of symptoms in patients with atypical parkinsonian syndromes. The estimated study completion date is December 2028. ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT06162013

Progressive MS

Initiated at Haukeland University Hospital, this human clinical trial is evaluating the safety and efficacy of NR on slowing disability progression in patients with progressive multiple sclerosis. The estimated study completion date is December 2027. ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT05740722

Osteoporosis

Initiated at Odense University Hospital, this human clinical trial is evaluating the effect of NR-E or senolytics on bone resorption and formation markers in osteoporosis. The estimated study completion date is December 2025. ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT06018467

Age-Related Frailty

Initiated at Mayo Clinic, the human clinical trial will evaluate whether Elysium’s proprietary nicotinamide riboside (NR-E) can augment bone, skeletal muscle, and metabolic functions and structure in aging. The study is complete and pending publication. ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03818802

TIME-A

The Translational Initiative to Map Epigenetics in Aging (TIME-A) is a longitudinal, prospective research study that aims to advance our understanding of the connections between epigenetics, lifestyle, demographics, and health and aging. All Index users are eligible to enroll. The study can be found on www.clinicaltrials.gov under the identifier NCT05760547.

Good Housekeeping

“Elysium collaborates with world-renowned international academic institutions to maintain the highest standards of practice, and their thought leadership is helping change the conversation in preventive health and wellness.”

InStyle

“Victoria Beckham swears by Elysium Health's Basis capsules, which were developed by MIT scientist Dr. Leonard Guarente, and contain Elysium's proprietary nicotinamide riboside (NR-E), a highly efficient NAD+ precursor...NR is a form of vitamin B3 that converts to NAD+ through a series of chemical interactions; NAD+, in turn, is the all-important fuel for sirtuin enzymes.”

TIME

“The supplement experts take.”

Fast Company

“The opportunity is the chance to make a difference by translating findings in the booming field of aging research directly to consumers today.”

Academic Partnerships

We've established multi-year research partnerships with leading institutions to break new ground in aging research.

Partnership with the University of Oxford

Partnership with the University of Oxford

Matter, our breakthrough product clinically proven to slow age-related brain atrophy, was developed in partnership with the University of Oxford and world-renowned scientist A. David Smith, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus of Pharmacology at the University of Oxford, Founding Director of OPTIMA, and Elysium Scientific Advisory Board member.

Partnership With Yale University

Partnership With Yale University

Elysium partnered with Morgan Levine, Ph.D., of Yale University and a leading researcher in the field of epigenetic predictors of age to developIndex, our revolutionary at-home epigenetic test.

The Oxford-Elysium Fellowship Program

The Oxford-Elysium Fellowship Program

Elysium has established the Oxford-Elysium Fellowship program at the University of Oxford, which recruits the best researchers to work in cutting-edge laboratories. 

The first fellow, Hanlin Zhang, discovered a new pathway for autophagy induction. Zhang works in the lab of Katja Simon, Professor of Immunology in the Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology in the Nuffield Department of Orthopaedics, Rheumatology, and Musculoskeletal Sciences. Elysium owns first rights to all intellectual property developed by the fellow.

The second fellow, Adam Rolt, works in the lab of Lynne Cox at the University of Oxford’s Cox Lab of Ageing and Cell Senescence. Cox’s lab focuses on the genes and biochemical pathways that influence health outcomes in aging and promote healthy aging by treating age-related diseases at the cause.

Lewis Taylor is the third fellow in the Oxford-Elysium program, and works in Aarti Jagannath’s lab at the Nuffield Department of Clinical Neuroscience. Taylor’s focus is on researching the relationship between circadian rhythms, chronic disease, and biological age.

Elysium Scholars: Helping Students Study Science

Elysium Scholars: Helping Students Study Science

Elysium’s scholarship program is designed to encourage and assist students pursuing an education in science-related fields. There are currently six students enrolled in an undergraduate degree in a scientific field benefiting from the scholarship.

“Through Elysium Health's products and research focus on human health, the Elysium Scholars program takes an expansive approach to science. We believe that encouraging young people to pursue a career in any scientific field is a critical step toward future breakthroughs and innovations that may have a meaningful impact on the overall health of our society." - Elysium co-founder and chief scientist Leonard Guarente, Ph.D.

Elysium Scholars is not currently accepting new applicants.
