Looking for delicious ways to incorporate Cofactor in your daily routine? Here are some of the Elysium team’s favorite ways to take Cofactor:

Eric Marcotulli, CEO

Adds it to protein shakes for post-workout

Isabella Reyes, Director, Customer Experience

Mixes it with yogurt and tops with freeze-dried berries

Dan Magida, Director, Supply Chain & Operations

Adds it to cold-pressed beet juice (Suja or Trader Joe's brand)

Whitney Christopher, VP, Brand

Adds it to smoothies or warm bone broth

Ashley Whitford, Senior Manager, CRM & Retention

Adds it to smoothies

Melanie Lino, VP, Controller

Adds it to smoothies or mixes it with yogurt topped with berries and granola

Lynne Chang, Ph.D., Director, Scientific Content

Adds it to hot coffee with milk

Scott Briggs, Marketing Consultant

Adds it to protein shakes (with powdered peanut butter)

Cofactor dissolves easily in hot liquids and foods, but should be consumed within 30 minutes as nicotinamide riboside (an ingredient in Cofactor) is sensitive to prolonged exposure to high temperatures. For cold recipes, we recommend using a high-powered blender to achieve the smoothest texture.
