This month, Elysium announced the launch of
Mosaic, a whole-body supplement that fights skin aging from the innermost layers. The October newsletter goes deep on skin and much more: the essential facts about Mosaic, a ringing Mosaic endorsement from
Bustle, everything you ever wanted to know about collagen and aging, a cardiologist’s guide to healthy dinners, and a first-person take on
Index from
The Wall Street Journal.

Mosaic:
Formulated to Fight Skin Aging From the Inside
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mosaic’s Phytonutrient Carotenoid Complex delivers carotenoids to your skin, where they create a reservoir of free-radical fighting phytonutrients to strengthen and protect the skin from the inside-out. **P<0.001. Adapted from Tarshish et al., 2020.

On October 4, we were proud to introduce our newest product from the front lines of aging research: Mosaic. Mosaic is a whole-body supplement that fights skin aging from the innermost layers, while also targeting surface-level skin aging and delivering surface-level benefits. This first-of-its-kind formulation was developed with the advisement of
Dr. Richard Granstein, chair of the Department of Dermatology at Weill Cornell Medicine for nearly 30 years.
Mosaic is the new foundation for your skin care routine. It’s the first and only product with the Phytonutrient Carotenoid Complex in combination with hyaluronic acid. Mosaic combats oxidative stress and maintains the skin’s natural levels of collagen and elastin, while delivering moisture to the entire body and different layers of the skin—with visible results starting at three weeks.*

"At Elysium, what separates us is that product development always begins by looking at the world through the lens of aging and longevity in partnership with leading scientists,"
said Elysium Health chief scientist Dr. Leonard Guarente. "With Mosaic, we followed this model precisely by working with Dr. Granstein, one of the world's foremost experts in dermatology, to develop a novel, orally-available product to combat skin aging. What is evident from the scientific literature is that any effort to impact the aging of our skin should include a solution like Mosaic, which addresses the driving forces at the cellular level from the inside."

 Stands Behind Mosaic for Skin Health
|
|
|
|

“Can a pill or powder really deliver clearer skin and thicker hair?” asks
Bustle writer Zoe Weiner.
“Surprisingly, science seems to say yes.” But you’ve got to separate the fancy gummy bears, she says, from beauty supplements made by brands that take science seriously. Weiner makes great suggestions for shoppers, including: 1) look for science-backed ingredients, 2) look past marketing jargon for real clinical trials, and 3) support brands that do 3rd party testing. (Elysium checks all of these boxes.)
That’s where our new product,
Mosaic, comes in.
Bustle recommends Mosaic because of the highly concentrated Phytonutrient Carotenoid Complex, which is combined with hyaluronic acid and works to maintain collagen and elastin fibers.
“In clinical trials, the formula has been shown to significantly reduce wrinkles and enhance the skin’s own protective properties to fend off future signs of visible skin aging,” Weiner writes.

AGING 101
|

What Happens to Collagen With Age?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body, making up three quarters of the dry weight of your skin. It’s elastic, strong, and resilient. Collagen gives your skin its mechanical and structural properties—and when it’s abundant, it’s responsible for the plump, youthful look of our faces. As part of aging, we synthesize less collagen and its quality degrades, which impacts how our skin looks and functions. This new Aging 101 article explains the science of collagen, how it changes with age in your skin, and what you can do to slow age-related collagen decline.

What Do Cardiologists Eat for Dinner?
|
|
|
|
Nobody knows their way around a healthy heart like cardiologists.
TODAY.com asked two prominent heart doctors—including Elysium Scientific Advisory Board member
Dariush Mozaffarian, M.D., Dr.P.H.—how they eat at home for optimal cardiovascular health. Meals at Dr. Mozaffarian’s house are built around
“delicious vegetables” with fish, poultry, and occasional red meat as complements. Think salmon tacos, fall vegetable soup with red lentils, and plenty of extra virgin olive oil.
“I tell my patients, ‘You should actually actively be seeking out fat, especially fat from plant sources,’” Mozaffarian adds.
“Nuts, avocados, plant oils, and fish are loaded with healthy fats, and that’s what most people need more of.”
Dr. Mozaffarian is a cardiologist, Jean Mayer Professor of Nutrition at the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts University, Professor of Medicine at Tufts School of Medicine, and an attending physician at Tufts Medical Center.

“How old am I, really?” asks medical science reporter Dominique Mosbergen.
“I spat in a tube, swabbed the inside of my cheek and pricked my finger to find out.” The tube she spat in belonged to
Index, our revolutionary at-home biological age test, which now measures 10 different aspects of aging using the latest generation technology in the science of epigenetics. Mosbergen learned her biological age along with nine system ages—brain, heart, metabolic, and more—and shared her journey with readers of
The Wall Street Journal.
The 36-year-old reporter discovered some useful insights about her biological age and system ages.
“Elysium said it [biological age] was closer to 34—but said my heart was a sprightly 32 while my liver and brain were 43.” While she’s already focused on her sleep, steps, and gut health, Mosbergen plans to put her insights into action.
“I might start playing more brain-sharpening games,” she says.
“Sudoku, here I come.”

QUOTE OF THE MONTH
|
|
“My skin looks and feels radiant and soothed, and I know it’s the result of something internal–the topical products that I use to address my pigmentation just aren’t usually this effective, and I give credit where credit is due. As a practitioner, I take a very holistic approach–addressing the entire body–so
Mosaic is very in line with how I work with my clients and approach my own skin care.”
