Longevity is having a moment (again). Hollywood, mainstream media, and leading research centers are all talking about NAD+, collagen, and the future of healthy aging. In this month’s newsletter,
Rolling Stone named
Basis one of the best NAD+ supplements of 2025,
Harper’s BAZAAR suggested “collagen banking” with
Mosaic, and
New Beauty recognized
Cofactor—while our chief scientist Leonard Guarente, Ph.D., took on longevity’s biggest questions with Dave Asprey. In company news, we’re thrilled to welcome Stanford’s Michael Fredericson, M.D., to Elysium’s
Scientific Advisory Board.

Rolling Stone calls NAD+ “the hottest thing in wellness right now”—attracting attention from research scientists, longevity doctors, and even Hollywood’s elite. The magazine just published its roundup of the best NAD+ supplements of 2025, and
Basis is on the list thanks to its exclusive combination of nicotinamide riboside and pterostilbene.
“Where Basis often shines is with the beauty- and brain-focused crowd,” they write.
“Reviews frequently report subtle energy normalization alongside skin perks.”

On the podcast
The Human Upgrade, Dave Asprey sat down with Elysium co-founder and chief scientist Leonard Guarente, Ph.D., “one of the most respected longevity researchers in the world.” Together they unpacked how NAD+ fuels mitochondria, activates sirtuins, and protects DNA—and why keeping NAD+ levels high is essential for longevity. They also talked about the ethics of using longevity research to extend life. Dr. Guarente, who teaches a course on ethics at MIT, was clear:
“I’ll tell you right away that I’m on the side that it is ethical,” he said.
“And I think it is ethical because of the close connection between slowing down aging and warding off health conditions. If you have a compound that will do that, how can that not be ethical?” Asprey responds:
“I’m with you 100%.”

Collagen isn’t just for youthful-looking skin. It’s the framework that supports joints, connective tissue, and overall resilience.
Harper’s BAZAAR highlights the growing trend of “collagen banking,” a proactive approach to maintaining reserves before age-related decline begins.
“The earlier you start investing, the better the long-term payoff,” says dermatologist Rabia Malik, M.D. The article recommends
Mosaic to support this process because it combines moisturizing hyaluronic acid with Elysium’s Phytonutrient Carotenoid Complex—a clinically proven formulation that fights the effects of sun exposure and aging to protect and maintain your collagen.

“The wellness industry is growing like wildfire, with dietary supplements leading the charge,” says New Beauty.
Cofactor earned recognition as one of 2025’s best new supplements for its unique 4-in-1 formulation: NR to boost NAD+ and promote cellular youth for optimal collagen production, grass-fed collagen peptides to provide the building blocks for collagen production, hyaluronic acid for hydration, and vitamin C to support collagen synthesis. In one daily dose, Cofactor targets multiple root causes of collagen decline.

Meet NMN: Your body’s NAD+ builder
|
|
|
|
|
Nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) is a key precursor to NAD+, the coenzyme that powers hundreds of vital processes in every cell. Clinical trials show NMN can safely boost NAD+—supporting metabolic health, endurance, and resilience as you age. While trace amounts are found in foods like broccoli and avocado,
Signal delivers a clinically studied dose that raises NAD+ levels by 40%, giving your cells the fuel they need to perform at their best.
