For another sample of one, I took Elysium Basis for several months, stopped, and then took a similar dosage of NAD and pterostilibene from other manufacturers. I can't say I noticed any obvious benefit from either regimen. Looking over article, NMN looks like the more interesting compound, and it does seem like some human trials of it are in progress, e.g.[1]

- blacksmith_tb 8y agoNot sure if you meant that as "it's obvious nonsense so of course you wouldn't have noticed anything" or if it was broader question about placebo/nocebo effect? I was just responding to the claim that taking NAD supplements could have tremendous effects - presumably I would have noticed those.
- ryanianian 8y agoI've been taking Elysium Basis for a little over a year. I've noticed no effects, secondary or otherwise. I looked really hard at their research about (likely) effectiveness, and it did seem to check out. But it is around $50/month so I'm not sure if I will continue to take it forever. Elysium is mostly a marketing company, so hopefully they will have competition and the price will drop if more research proves NAD's effectiveness when taken by humans long-term.
