So, we finally have a more credible longevity pill.
It’s called Basis (as it wants to provide you with the foundations for a long life), and it’s a dietary supplement purporting to boost your “metabolic health.” It’s been developed byElysiumHealth, a research company that merges Silicon Valley’s infatuation with living forever with East Coast science: Its founder and CEO, Eric Marcotulli, comes from a venture capitalism background in Menlo Park, while chief scientist Leonard Guarente has been researching ageing at MIT since 1982 and was previously at the helm of life-extension venture Elixir.
While the stated goal of Elysium is “helping people access, understand and benefit from scientific breakthrough in health,” a quick glance at its blog shows the company is all about “stopping theproverbialclock” of ageing.
