The French sports nutrition brand “made in Nantes”, MELTONIC, is proud to join the Veni Vici adventure. Founded in 2014 by two sports and nature enthusiasts (Benoît Mary, beekeeper and runner, and Vincent Garos, former Olympic sailing athlete) the company has become a key player in outdoor sports events. Its clear mission: to offer natural, body-friendly energy products derived from the hive and combined with organic plants and essential oils. 🔆

“Like the Veni Vici, we believe in the importance of preserving our environment, protecting our heritage, and showcasing the beauty of our regions,” says Benoît Mary. “This partnership is an obvious choice: supporting an event that combines sport, history, and nature perfectly matches Meltonic’s DNA. We also share this passion for self-improvement, the driving force behind every runner who takes on the challenge.”

♻️ Designed and made in France, Meltonic products promote optimal digestion thanks to a moderate glycemic index and are part of an eco-responsible approach, with recyclable packaging and eco-gel refills.

💟 The brand also supports the protection of bees by donating 1% of its revenue to the Terre d’Abeilles association.

⚡️ Join us on November 7–8 at the Pont du Gard site to meet Meltonic, who will help you stay energized before, during, and after your Veni Vici!
