About
Dr Richie Barclay is a Longevity and Nutrition PhD, molecular biologist, and recognised leader in the application of longevity science to real-world health and performance.
His research and commercial work sit at the intersection of biology, technology, and consumer innovation — transforming data-driven insight into products and systems that improve human outcomes.
Richie completed his PhD at Roehampton University, focusing on the molecular biology and nutrition of human ageing, and is affiliated with Coventry University as a co-supervisor on an innovative NAD+, CD38, and longevity PhD project. His work has been published in multiple high-impact journals and includes active collaborations with Coventry University and Newcastle University (Australia).
As a consultant to 111 Harley St and KX Life Members Club, Richie works with leading clinicians and performance experts to integrate nutrition, physiology, and longevity systems into client programs. His consulting extends across Monaco, Europe, and the US, advising on clinical, nutritional, and strategic development.
He is also the founder of MUTO Longevity, a fast-growing UK supplement brand bridging the gap between wearable data, biology, and long-term outcomes. Launched in February 2025, MUTO delivers filler-free, third-party tested, UK-made formulations and runs clinical trials at a fraction of industry cost, achieving 50% month-on-month growth since launch.

Philosophy
Longevity isn’t about living forever – it’s about living fully.
Richie’s philosophy defines longevity as maximising potential every day, not extending life at all costs.
He believes performance and healthspan are built through compound habits – nutrition, movement, recovery, and social connection – integrated seamlessly into lifestyle and aligned with individual biology.
His mission is to bring the science of ageing out of the lab and into practical, evidence-based tools that improve how we feel, think, and function as we age.
About MUTO
About MUTO
MUTO is the longevity nutraceutical I created to bring clinical-grade cellular nutrition into everyday life. After years working in molecular nutrition and consulting on ageing and metabolic health, I saw how many people were doing the “right things” yet still struggling with fatigue, slow recovery, inflammation, and early signs of biological ageing. The missing piece was cellular support.
MUTO was built to address that.
Our formula targets the foundations of healthy ageing – mitochondrial function, cellular repair, oxidative stress, inflammation, and metabolic resilience. It combines clinically studied ingredients including Nicotinamide Riboside, Pterostilbene, Fisetin, Grape Seed Extract and a methylated vitamin B complex, each selected for potency, purity and proven biological impact.
Every ingredient is fully traceable, optimally dosed, vegan, non GMO, UK made and third party tested for authenticity, heavy metals and microbes.
No fillers, no shortcuts – just evidence based cellular support designed for both immediate vitality and long term resilience.
