Product Basics

What are LUNA Sport Moons Energy Chews?

LUNA Sport Moons are a semi-solid, easily chewable source of carbohydrates, which are your body’s preferred source of fuel during activity.

What flavors of LUNA Sport Moons are available?  

LUNA Sport Moons come in 3 great-tasting flavors:

  • Blueberry (with antioxidant vitamins A, C & E)
  • Watermelon (with energizing B vitamins)
  • Pomegranate (with 50% daily value vitamin C)
Who needs LUNA Sport Moons Energy Chews?

LUNA Sport Moons were designed for women endurance athletes – cyclists, runners, mountain bikers, triathletes, adventure Racers, etc. — who were looking for alternative eating options in their sports nutrition products.

When should LUNA Sport Moons be eaten?

LUNA Sport Moons can be eaten 15-30 minutes prior to activity to increase blood sugar levels, and then every 20-30 minutes during activity to maintain energy levels. Keep in mind that LUNA Sport Moons will affect your blood sugar levels more slowly than gel since they are semi-solid.

How should I eat LUNA Sport Moons, compared to things like gels?

Gels and LUNA Sport Moons are easily interchangeable since they both provide carbohydrate to working muscles. Since one packet of Moons equals 100 calories (the same amount of calories as a typical gel packet) you can go back and forth between each, while easily keeping track of your calorie intake. Always follow LUNA Sport Moons with a mouthful of water to aid in digestion.

How are LUNA Sport Moons different from Clif SHOT BLOKS chews?

LUNA Sport Moons are very similar to Clif SHOT BLOKS chews, with the following key differences:

  • Size Moons are half the bite-size as SHOT BLOKS chews (5 grams vs. 10 grams), so they are a smaller bite size and fit easier into women’s smaller mouths.
  • Servings – One packet of Moons is one serving of 100 calories, vs. a packet of SHOT BLOKS chews which contains 2 servings and is 200 calories.
  • Vitamins & Minerals – Moons contain different functional benefits with each flavor.
  • Flavors – Moons come in luscious flavors like Blueberry, Watermelon and Pomegranate.

Nutritional Info

Do any of the LUNA Sport Moons contain caffeine?

No, not at this time.

Why isn’t there any protein in LUNA Sport Moons?

Studies have not been able to prove that consuming protein during activity has any performance benefits beyond consuming adequate carbohydrate. Furthermore, consuming protein during activity may actually hurt performance by displacing carbohydrate, slowing carbohydrate digestion, and causing digestive distress.

What is the proportion of simple to complex carbohydrates?

LUNA Sport Moons are 50% complex carbohydrate and 50% simple carbohydrate.

Ingredient Info

Do LUNA Sport Moons contain electrolytes?

Yes; all of the LUNA Sport Moons flavors contain 70 mg of sodium and 20 mg of potassium per serving (one packet).

What are electrolytes and what do they do for me?

Mineral salts such as sodium chloride, potassium, magnesium are known collectively as electrolytes. These electrolytes allow electrical impulses to travel properly throughout your body, allowing for normal bodily function. When you sweat you start to deplete yourself of these electrolytes. Similar to dehydration, electrolyte depletion will first lead to performance declines and then onto more serious health issues. Each Moon provides sodium and potassium to help counteract the losses in your sweat.

Do LUNA Sport Moons contain any animal products or MSG?

No.

Do LUNA Sport Moons contain gluten?

No, LUNA Sport Moons do not contain gluten.

Are LUNA Sport Moons kosher?

No, LUNA Sport Moons are not kosher at this time.

Product Basics

When and why should I use LUNA Sport Electrolyte Splash?

Electrolyte Splash is best consumed DURING activity. Consuming carbohydrates during activity enhances performance by providing a continuous supply of carbohydrate to working muscles. By consuming carbohydrate during activity you will increase the length of time you can go.

Drinking Electrolyte Splash is also a good way of staying hydrated. It contains both carbohydrate and sodium, two key ingredients to absorbing fluid and maintaining hydration during exercise.

How much should I drink?

The quantity consumed very much depends on the intensity and duration of activity as well as the external conditions such as wind and heat. For instance if you’re doing an easy 90-minute ride on flat roads in cool temperatures, one bottle may be plenty. But if you’re in the middle of a 5 hour ride in 85+ degree weather with lots of climbing, then we’d recommend drinking 16oz every 30 minutes. Ultimately it’s best for you to experiment and find out how your total consumption corresponds with performance.

What flavors of LUNA Sport Electrolyte Splash are available?

Electrolyte Splash is available in Lime-ade and Pink Grapefruit.

Can I adjust the concentration of LUNA Sport Electrolyte Splash?

Think of our recommendation as a starting point. The mixing chart on our label will yield a 4% carbohydrate solution, and will provide 80 calories per 16 ounce serving. Despite this, everyone is not the same — between our different body sizes and training goals, some of us want more calories than others. Some will prefer a stronger blend of product and will function quite well on it, while others will need a more dilute solution to keep their stomachs happy. Experiment with different concentrations to find out what works best for you.

Is the LUNA Sport Electrolyte Splash packaging recyclable?

Most of the LUNA Sport Electrolyte Splash packaging is recyclable. The paper label can be removed from the canister and recycled as mixed paper. The canister itself can be recycled wherever #2 HDPE is accepted (most municipalities). Currently the canister lid and scoop are not recyclable, but we will be working to make this a reality in the future.

Nutritional Info

How is LUNA Sport Electrolyte Splash different from other sports drinks on the market?

Electrolyte Splash is the first organic women’s sports drink. It is certified Organic by Quality Assurance International (QAI) and contains 80% organic ingredients. Electrolyte Splash tastes great and is designed with intentionally high levels of sodium and tartness, so that it would quench your thirst, and then subtly prime your thirst mechanism (for optimum hydration).

Electrolyte Splash does not contain artificial sweeteners or colors, and has only 80 calories.
Electrolyte Splash contains vitamins & minerals women athletes tend to be deficient in, such as iron, calcium, folic acid, vitamins A, C & E. and energizing B-vitamins.

What is the primary difference b/t LUNA Electrolyte Splash and Clif SHOT Electrolyte?

The primary different between Clif SHOT Electrolyte and LUNA Sport Electrolyte is the calories — LUNA Sport Electrolyte is 80 calories per 16 ounces vs. Clif SHOT Electrolyte which is 160 calories per 16 ounces. In addition to that, LUNA Sport Electrolyte contains key vitamins and minerals that women athletes are often time deficient in.

Why are there vitamins and minerals in LUNA Sport Electrolyte Splash?

The primary purpose of LUNA Sport Electrolyte Splash is to deliver what you as an athlete need and can actually use during your training and racing: carbohydrate, fluid, and electrolytes. However, studies show that many women athletes are deficient in vitamins and minerals like iron, folic acid, calcium,vitamins A, C, and E — all of which are critical to daily well being. While there is no proven performance benefit to consuming these vitamins during activity, it is an easy way for you to get these nutrients that are often times hard to get within your regular diet on a daily basis.

Ingredient Info

Is there caffeine in any of the LUNA Sport Electrolyte Drinks?

No.

Why isn’t there any protein in LUNA Sport Electrolyte Splash?

Well-designed studies have not been able to prove that consuming protein during activity has any performance benefits beyond consuming adequate carbohydrate. Furthermore, consuming protein during activity may actually hurt performance by displacing carbohydrate, slowing carbohydrate digestion, and causing digestive distress. Finally, sports drinks containing protein tend to “spoil” as they warm up providing off tastes and smells, which obviously do not promote further consumption. Try LUNA Sport Recovery Smoothie if you are looking to help rebuild muscle after a workout or want a delicious way to get more protein in your diet.

Are there any artificial colors or flavors in LUNA Sport Electrolyte Drinks?

Absolutely not. All of our flavors and colors are naturally derived. Both are proprietary blends of plant and/or herb extracts. They contain no animal products or MSG.
