Cellular Nutrition: Mitochondria and longevity,
the science according to Dr. Espinasse
Cellular Nutrition, developed by Dr. Valérie Espinasse, stems from the convergence between cellular biology, functional nutrition, and longevity,
It is based on recent knowledge: health and longevity are determined at the level of the cell. This approach considers the cell as a living ecosystem,
whose functioning depends on the quality of its biochemical environment, the availability of micronutrients, and the integrity of its mitochondria,
true energy powerhouses and regulators of aging.
Mitochondria are organelles essential for cellular life. Present at the heart of each cell, they ensure the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate)the cellular energy. But their role goes beyond simple energy production: they orchestrate cellular communication, metabolic signaling, the management of oxidative stress, and even the programming of cell death apoptosis.
The mitochondrion allows the cell to grow, repair, detoxify and regenerate. Conversely, a damaged mitochondrion results in chronic fatigue, inflammation, hormonal dysfunction, cognitive disorders and premature ageing.
Research in cell biology has shown that the mitochondrion is not a passive organelle: it adapts, renews itself and reproduces throughout life thanks to specific processes. These processes depend directly on the supply of essential micronutrients and lifestyle.
Dr. Espinasse developed Cellular Nutrition as an applied science of mitochondrial regeneration. It aims to reactivate energy production and correct metabolic imbalances by acting on five interdependent biological pillars.

Mitochondrial biogenesis
Cellular Nutrition stimulates the creation of new mitochondria and the repair of existing mitochondria thanks to micronutrients and polyphenols. This activation increases the cell's capacity to produce ATP and promotes energetic longevity.
Longevity is not only a matter of years, but of biological functionality. Contemporary studies (Lopez-Otin et al., Cell, 2013; Sinclair et al., Science, 2022)
have identified the nine hallmarks of aging hallmarks of aging, among which: mitochondrial dysfunction, chronic inflammation,
oxidative stress, loss of proteostasis and deregulation of nutritional signaling. These interconnected processes reduce the cells' capacity
to regenerate, leading to senescence, fibrosis, neurodegeneration and immune weakening.
Dr. Espinasse places Cellular Nutrition in a preventive approach to longevity, acting on the levers identified by research in biogerontology and genetics.

Restoration of mitochondrial function
Cellular Nutrition improves cellular respiration and stimulates the production of new mitochondria. Maintaining intracellular NAD+ prolongs cell survival and promotes DNA repair.
The action of Cellular Nutrition is rooted in cellular health: it acts preventively, strengthening the body's defense and repair mechanisms.
It helps slow senescence, optimize mitochondrial bioenergy, restore cellular communication and prolong the active health phase.
Longevity then becomes a modulable biological function directly dependent on the quality of cellular metabolism.
Cellular Nutrition, developed and patented by Dr. Valérie Espinasse, represents a revolution in the understanding of aging. By acting on mitochondria, true energy generators and signaling centers of the living, it helps maintain metabolic resilience, cellular performance and the functional durability of tissues.
It is a biology of regeneration, founded on the intelligence of the living: the mitochondrion.
Méthode Espinasse thus embodies a new vision of health: act at the source, at the heart of the cell, to prolong vitality, health and longevity.
