Dr. Smith Johnston

Dr. Smith Johnston, MD, MS, is a leading expert in space medicine with more than 25 years as a NASA Flight Surgeon, where he cared for astronauts, operationally supported over 25 Space Shuttle and 2 International Space Station (ISS) missions.  As Johnson Space Centers Aerospace and Occupational Clinic Medical Director from 2015 to 2019, he oversaw astronaut medical standards, fatigue management, and human performance programs. He retired NASA in 2019 and became the first Chief Medical Officer at Axiom Space, guiding crew health and readiness for private astronaut missions. In 2023 he left that position and now consults for numerous advanced medical technology and preventive medicine companies, and is a professor of Aerospace Medicine.

"I believe the Muscle Code formula shows great promise for augmenting and extending human performance and longevity, and especially in our aging populations. It’s what I use and what also recommend to my active and retired Astronauts and my earth bound patients."

Aerospace Medicine Specialist

Dr. Robert Wolfe

Dr. Robert Wolfe, a leading researcher in muscle metabolism, has spent decades uncovering the power of amino acids in human health. With a career rooted in clinical research and physiology, he became particularly intrigued by how the body repairs and builds muscle—especially in aging populations and athletes.His research led to a groundbreaking discovery: essential amino acids (EAAs) play a far more critical role than previously thought. Unlike complete proteins, EAAs could stimulate muscle protein synthesis rapidly, even without exercise. This had profound implications—not just for body builders, but for older adults losing muscle mass, patients recovering from surgery, and anyone looking to improve recovery and performance.

"As both the inventor and a committed daily user of Muscle Code, I rely on it to keep my energy strong and my muscles performing at their best. The amino acids in Muscle Code help me stay energized, support my muscle strength, and recover smoothly so I can keep moving without slowing down. It’s the formula I trust—because I created it to truly work."

Frequently Asked Questions

About Muscle Code Usage & Dosage Absorption & Effectiveness Ingredients Safety

Collapsible content

What is Muscle Code?

Muscle Code by Nautilus is a patented, clinically proven essential amino acid (EAA) supplement formulated in the precise ratio your body needs to maximize protein synthesis.

What makes Muscle Code different from other protein or amino acid supplements?

Unlike generic amino blends or incomplete proteins, Muscle Code contains EAAs in the exact balance required for effective muscle protein synthesis. This ensures nothing is wasted, giving you better results with less effort.

What are the active ingredients in Muscle Code?

A proprietary blend of all nine essential amino acids (including leucine, isoleucine, valine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, histidine, and tryptophan) plus arginine in the correct clinical ratio.

How does Muscle Code work to build muscle and aid recovery?

Leucine triggers muscle protein synthesis, while the other EAAs provide the raw material for new muscle tissue. Together, they repair muscle damage and accelerate recovery.

Who should take Muscle Code?

· Athletes & fitness enthusiasts to maximize training gains

· Aging adults to maintain lean muscle and strength

· Post-surgery or illness recovery to prevent muscle loss

· Anyone looking to support muscle health, recovery, or total-body protein needs

Collapsible content

How do I take Muscle Code?

Take 4 capsules once a day.

What is the recommended dosage?

One serving daily, or as directed by your health professional.

When is the best time to take Muscle Code?

Best taken after workouts to maximize recovery, but it can also be used in the morning, between meals, or before bed to support ongoing protein synthesis.

Can I take it on an empty stomach?

Yes. Muscle Code is light, fast-absorbing, and won’t cause bloating.

Can Muscle Code be taken daily, even on rest days?

Yes, daily use ensures consistent support for recovery and muscle preservation.

Yes, daily use ensures consistent support for recovery and muscle preservation.

Many users feel improved recovery within 1–2 weeks, with muscle and strength benefits in 4–6 weeks.

Should I take Muscle Code if I already use a pre-workout?

Yes. Pre-workouts provide energy and focus, while Muscle Code provides the building blocks for muscle repair. Use post-workout if you’re already taking a pre-workout.

What is the shelf life?

Typically 2 years when stored properly (see label for exact date).

How should I store Muscle Code?

At room temperature, in a cool, dry place. Refrigeration is not required.

What does Muscle Code taste like?

The capsules are tasteless, odorless, and easy to swallow.

Collapsible content

How quickly is Muscle Code absorbed?

It is rapidly absorbed—typically within 30 minutes—faster than most whole protein sources.

How does it compare to whey protein?

Whey provides protein but not always in the right ratio of EAAs. Muscle Code is more efficient, requiring less volume for superior muscle protein synthesis.

Will it help without exercise?

Yes, Muscle Code supports protein synthesis even at rest, helping maintain muscle during illness, aging, or recovery.

Can it aid recovery after surgery, illness, or injury?

Yes. By preventing muscle breakdown, it supports faster rehabilitation and whole-body repair.

Collapsible content

Is Muscle Code vegan?

Yes.

Is it free of allergens?

Yes—no gluten, dairy, soy, nuts, or shellfish. Always check label for latest allergen info.

Does it contain fillers, binders, or artificial sweeteners?

No. Muscle Code is free from unnecessary fillers and artificial additives.
