Bioelectricity
Across the membrane
Cells maintain electrical differences across their membranes. These vary by cell type and activity and are part of how cells communicate and function.
Our approach
Biochemistry. Bioelectricity. One connected view.
Our approach brings together biochemistry and bioelectricity, with a focus on the conditions cells depend on — informed by Nuno Nina’s practice in Lisbon since 2005.
The cellular environment
The conditions cells depend on.
Ions cross membranes, nutrients take part in reactions and signals pass between cells. We look at these processes together: the chemistry within the cell, the electrical activity across its membrane, the environment around it and how all of this changes over the day.
Cellular environment
Around the cell
Water, electrolytes, nutrients and pH help shape the conditions in which cells work. The surrounding environment is part of the picture.
Daily rhythms
Across the day
The conditions around a cell change through the day, and cells follow internal clocks that anticipate those changes. It is why our routines are built around timing: morning, afternoon and evening. The science of timing
Conceptual illustrations of cellular structures and daily rhythms.
How we work
From practice to product.
Practice
It starts with the cell.
Every product begins with a question from practice: which conditions does the cell depend on, and what could support them day to day?
Design
Built for every day.
Premium components, considered design and simple routines, made to fit into daily life and to last.
Evidence
Honest about the evidence.
We keep apart what practice suggests, what studies have found and what has been tested in a finished product.
Two decades of practice, seen in patterns.
NEXAI is CellPowerX’s proprietary intelligence system. Drawing on the journeys of more than 70,000 clients followed in practice, it helps analyse anonymised records for patterns between personal backgrounds, approaches and recorded outcomes.
Practice insight
Product development
Patterns from practice help guide questions about ingredients and formulations. A correlation is a starting point for investigation, rather than proof of an effect.
Product information
Everyday guidance
NEXAI also powers our website assistant, helping people find information about the CellPowerX range and how to use it.

Guided by leading expertise.
Our scientific advisors bring perspectives from molecular hydrogen research, physics, health psychology and sports medicine.
Molecular hydrogen
Grace Russell, PhD
Scientific Advisor
Read biography
Dr Grace Russell is a biomedical scientist who has spent more than a decade in molecular hydrogen research and development. She has contributed to over 30 peer-reviewed academic publications, and her work spans laboratory research, applied R&D and science education.
She founded the Hydrogen Health Network, which connects emerging hydrogen science with the people who test, teach and apply it: researchers, practitioners and educators. Her guiding focus is understanding what the biology is telling us and translating it responsibly through rigorous research, accessible education and real collaboration.
Dr Russell is known for her methodological care and her ability to bridge lab findings and everyday practice. At CellPowerX, she helps make sure that partner education and public communication stay grounded in evidence.
