I've been taking Elysium regularly for about two years (48M). To be honest I haven't felt a huge difference, except maybe that I don't get as many colds as I used to. (anecdotal, I know). Just recently, on a whim I started taking the powder out of the capsules and letting them dissolve under my tongue, first thing in the morning without eating or drinking. The difference to me ... is noticeable. At first I feel a bit light-headed and ebullient. Then through the day I feel like I have more energy and I'm less-stressed. I run 4Ks a couple of nights a weeks, and I've just kicked it up to 5ks because I don't feel like stopping. I know, I know, placebo effect and all that, but just thought I'd share my very subjective findings.
