For many renowned scientists, entering the conversation of anti-aging treatments can be precarious. With many misleading and disappointing products on the market, endorsing treatments touted as the Fountain of Youth can be damaging to reputations and worse yet, deceive the public with bad information. That's what makes it so unusual that a Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) scientist, with the support of five Nobel prize recipient, has spoken out in favor of a new treatment he says can help restore muscle tissue, increase energy levels and improve brain function as individuals get older.
Elysium Health is a research and development institute founded by Dr. Leonard Guarente of MIT. His work has focused on the molecular causes of aging, and the Boston Globe reports that Elysium Health unveiled its first supplement this week. Called Basis, the firm says it has demonstrated a clear connection between the supplement and improved health in aging test subjects.
"There have been a lot of new findings in the past five years identifying some extremely promising compounds that promote wellness and health. [We want to] make them available for people to improve their health before they get sick," Guarente told the Globe. "We are filling a space by combining natural compounds with scientific validation."
Basis draws on compounds found in dairy products and blueberries to help support vitality in older people. For a $60 monthly subscription ($50 for members), the new supplement combines established wellness agents with new findings.
Guarente expressed his hesitation to enter the dietary supplement fray, as much of the language surrounding products on the market is marketing-focused, rather than science-focused. Guarente and others in the industry have been critical of the multi-billion dollar shakedown some companies have been accused of perpetrating against consumers. As such, he received endorsements from renowned scientists.
