Excellent PR-Puff piece for *Elysium ..
( supplement companymarketing suckering #Transhumanists )
...with no small amount of passive-aggressive slander for the entire supplement industry, and Life-Extension crowd.
<*Sorry for the stub. My cut and paste isnt working . Click through its still worth reading http://www.fastcoexist.com/3041800/one-of-the-worlds-top-aging-researchers-has-a-pill-to-keep-you-feeling-young *>
Elysium has a pill based off Resveratrol , ( but not ) thats supposed to help mimic lowcalorie diets, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caloric_restriction_mimetic
and turn on the Sirt2 gene;
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calorie_restriction#Sirtuin-mediated_mechanism
which is supposed to boost communication between between the 2 genomes ( Mitochondria and Nucleus ) .
Im sharing this , because Elysium Health and this article are strongly aiming at a target market of #Transhumans .
Two major relevant discoveries absent from this article ( PR Puff-piece ) are (1) PQQ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrroloquinoline_quinone
which has been shown to increase # of mitochondria ( woo-hoo! ) and mitigate cognitive decline from a number of disease processes.
( From Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, dementia to traumatic brain Injury )
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3303106/
and (2) the recent major New discovery concerning
Beta-Hydroxy Butyrate ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta-Hydroxybutyric_acid )
which I reported here...
>>> seriously, Go Here>>>
https://plus.google.com/+AdamBlack/posts/6PrbSXG48a8
Its relevant as BHB is produced during low-carlorie diets and new research suggests may be responsible for many of the positive health benefits
Edit I am not suggesting Elysium is peddling radically overpriced snake oil --- which if you had half a brain you would buy at 1/3 price elsewhere .
Nor am I insinuating that they are unethically using the allure of scientific research, to illegally make lots of claims, without any solid benefits for their products. All the while slandering companies selling better products with decades of solid research ( like PQQ ) . I'm not saying this.
Just like Elysium cant actually legally say their products can help you, or their ridiculous buzzwordy claims ( ZOMG: "longevity""healthspan" "machine learning"? "cellular health" ) are backed up with any human evidence.

But from this article you would never know NADH has been a major supplement for decades. ( Hint, Krebs Cycle for those who misremember any Biology )
