Our Founder’s Story
Meli was created by Elise Mareks, a lifelong wellness enthusiast who grew up surrounded by the natural beekeeping traditions of her family’s home region in Latvia. Elise always believed in simple, nature-first solutions — but struggled to find products that were both clean and genuinely effective for daily brain, gut, and skin health.
After moving to the United States, she noticed how many people felt constantly foggy, fatigued, inflamed, and overwhelmed — despite taking multiple supplements. Most formulas were overloaded with fillers, stimulants, or synthetic ingredients that never addressed the root of how the body truly functions.
During a trip back home, Elise visited the same small beekeepers her family had known for generations. She saw firsthand the purity of their honey, the integrity of their practices, and the incredible nutrient density of bee bread, royal jelly, and propolis. She realized these hive nutrients supported nearly every system of the human body — the brain, gut, skin, and immunity — yet almost no one in the U.S. was using them correctly or at meaningful doses.
That became the spark for meli.
Her mission was simple:
Create a daily supplement using ethically sourced Latvian bee nutrients — in clinically meaningful amounts — to help people feel clearer, calmer, and healthier from the inside out.
Today, meli partners exclusively with small, ethical beekeepers in Latvia who prioritize hive wellness, forest biodiversity, and sustainable harvesting. The result is a clean, nutrient-rich formula made to support real, noticeable daily health.
From Elise to you — welcome to hive-powered wellness.
Pure. Simple. Effective.
