SPECIFICATIONS
Purity Assessment
Basis undergoes rigorous third party testing to confirm its content accurately reflects the ingredients listed on our label. Two capsules of Basis in our current lot contain 115% of promised quantity of NR, 112% of promised quantity of Pterostilbene.
Analysis
Through our established laboratory model, Basis meets standard measures of safety and tolerability. Both primary ingredients in Basis are GRAS (generally recognized as safe) under intended conditions of use by qualified experts.
Feedback
Subtle changes in overall feeling of well-being, sleep quality, energy consistency, cognitive function, and skin health are often reported within 4-16 weeks of starting. Note that cellular health may not always manifest results at the surface.
Production
Basis is created in the United States in adherence with the FDA's Good Manufacturing Practices.
ANTI-AGING
Administering NR for NAD+ repletion improves mitochondrial and stem cell function and enhances life span in mice.
WEIGHT MANAGEMENT
By elevating NAD+, supplementation with NR promotes resistance to diet-induced obesity.
GLUCOSE CONTROL
NR greatly reduced blood glucose, weight gain, liver damage and the development of hepatic steatosis in prediabetic and type 2 diabetic mice while protecting against sensory neuropathy.
COGNITIVE FUNCTION
In a mouse model of Alzheimer's, mice treated with NR performed better at cognitive tests.
