What changes in your body after 35, and what to do about it.

No jargon. No hype. What happens inside you, how it shows up in your day, and why we built MUTO the way we did. In five minutes.

Explained byDr Richie Barclay, Founder · PhD, cell biology and nutrition

01

Somewhere after 35, your body starts working a little differently.

Nothing dramatic happens overnight. But three quiet shifts start inside your 30 trillion cells, and they build through your 40s and 50s.

You make less NAD+

Every cell makes its own energy, in tiny power stations called mitochondria. NAD+ is the courier that carries energy from your food to them, over and over, all day. From your mid-30s, your body makes less of it. Fewer couriers, the same amount of work.

You get less back

Your body responds less to the same food and the same training. It’s called anabolic resistance, and it’s what I spent years studying in the lab. Same effort, smaller return.

Your cells’ maintenance slows

Making energy creates a little “exhaust”. The crews that clean it up, a family of enzymes called sirtuins, also run on NAD+. Fewer couriers means more competition for the same supply.

It’s not you doing anything wrong. It’s biology, and the basics you took at 30 weren’t built for it.

02

You don’t feel your cells. You feel your day.

It’s like your body has switched to low power mode. Still working, still getting through the day, but running on less than it used to.

  • 01

    “Sharp at 8am. Gone by 3pm.”

    The afternoon slump. Fewer couriers carrying energy from your food to your cells.

  • 02

    “Hard sessions hang around for days.”

    Less back from the same effort, and recovery that takes longer than it used to.

  • 03

    “I’m doing everything right, and I still feel it.”

    It’s not you. It’s biology, and the basics you took at 30 weren’t built for it.

03

Five jobs, one jar.

MUTO is built for what you actually need after 35: one daily formula covering five jobs, so you’re not guessing across five separate pots.

How the 19 ingredients work together
TeamWho’s on itWhat happens
The energy teamNR 300mg, CoQ10 150mg, PQQ 20mg, B2 (riboflavin) 5mgNR becomes NAD+, the courier. CoQ10 is the relay runner that passes energy along inside the power station, and PQQ is studied for its role in the power stations themselves. B2 is part of the enzymes that release energy from food.
The B teamB1 (thiamine) 5mg, B3 (niacin) 16mg NE, B5 (pantothenic acid) 10mg, Biotin 300mcgEach one is a working part in the steps that turn food into energy, and B1, B3 and B5 also support normal psychological function and mental performance.
The recycling teamFolate (5-MTHF) 400mcg, B12 (methylcobalamin) 100mcg, B6 (P5P) 5mg, TMG 450mgYour cells constantly reuse one of their most important building blocks. Folate and B12 keep that recycling loop turning, TMG runs a second loop alongside it, and B6 handles the exit. We use the active forms, the ones the cell actually uses.
The clean-up crewZinc bisglycinate 15mg, Copper bisglycinate 1mgZinc and copper build the enzyme that cleans up the exhaust from making energy. One enzyme, two metals, so we pair them, both as bisglycinate.
The grape pairTrans-resveratrol 50mg, Grape seed extract 150mgPlant polyphenols from grapes. Trans-resveratrol is widely studied in healthy-ageing research, and grape seed extract is standardised to 95% polyphenols.
The bone relayD3 50mcg (2,000 IU), K2 (MK-7) 100mcgD3 tells your cells to make a bone protein. K2 switches that protein on. D3 makes it, K2 activates it.

See every ingredient

Vitamins B6 and B12 contribute to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Vitamin D contributes to normal muscle function. Vitamins D and K contribute to the maintenance of normal bones. Zinc, copper and vitamin D contribute to the normal function of the immune system. In a study of adults aged 40 to 60, 300mg of NR a day raised NAD+ by 51% in two weeks. That study tested NR on its own, not MUTO.

The scientists behind the formula.

A supplement doesn’t need a scientist anywhere near it. Ours has seven. Our scientific advisory board meets every quarter to guide our research and every new formula.

Our research. Our first human study starts in December 2026 at the University of Westminster, with work at King’s College London, Coventry and Newcastle to follow. There are no results yet, and we’ll never say there are. We’ll publish them, whatever they show.

Our advisory board guides our research and formulation. Its members don’t endorse products, and none of them is presented as recommending MUTO for any medical purpose.

What you can expect over time.

What people tell us they notice, and roughly when. Everyone’s different, so score yourself on day 1 and compare.

  1. Day 1

    Your baseline

    Score your afternoons, sleep and recovery out of 10, or note your wearable’s numbers. Then two capsules with breakfast.

  2. Day 30

    Afternoons that hold

    Usually the first thing people notice. B vitamins help reduce tiredness and fatigue, and NR tops up the NAD+ your cells use to make energy. Less of a 3pm slump, and energy left for the evening.

  3. Day 60

    Bouncing back sooner

    Vitamin D supports normal muscle function, and CoQ10 and PQQ support your mitochondria. A walk, a round of golf or a gym session stops hanging around for days.

  4. Day 90

    Feeling like yourself

    Compare your scores with day 1. Many people say they hadn’t realised how flat they’d been feeling. Not for you? Get every subscription payment back.

Based on what customers tell us, not a clinical study. Everyone’s different.
