LUNA Sport Moons are a semi-solid, easily chewable source of carbohydrates—your body's preferred source of fuel during activity.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
No, not at this time.
Yes; all of the LUNA Sport Moons flavors contain 70 mg of Sodium and 20 mg of Potassium per serving (one packet).
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.
LUNA Sport Moons offer three great-tasting flavors that come in moon-shaped, bite-size pieces that have a soft, but not too chewy, “bite.” LUNA Sport Moons come apart in your mouth quickly so they can be swallowed easily—a real asset when you’re on the move. Lastly, one packet of Moons chews provides 100 calories, so it’s simple to keep track of calorie intake during long outings.
LUNA Sport Moons are 50% Complex Carbohydrate and 50% Simple Carbohydrate.
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.
No, LUNA Sport Moons do not contain gluten.
We product tested LUNA Sport Moons during the winter ski and snowboard season and the product did great with no undue hardening.
No.
No, LUNA Sport Moons are not kosher at this time.
LUNA Sport Moons are guaranteed 12 months from the time they are packed. You can find the Best Buy date on the side of the package. We guarantee the product until that date.
Electrolyte Splash is best consumed DURING activity. Consuming carbohydrates during activity enhances performance by providing a continuous supply of carbohydrate to working muscles. Your body stores a limited amount of carbohydrates and the harder you go, the faster you burn those carbohydrates. When you burn through the last of these stored carbohydrates, you run out of energy. 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.
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.
• Electrolyte Splash is the first organic women’s sports drink. It is certified Organic by Quality Assurance International (QAI) and contains 80% Organic Ingredients. No other sports drinks on the market use organic material in their products.
• Electrolyte Splash tastes great and keeps you coming back for more. We designed it with intentionally high levels of sodium and tartness, so that it would quench your thirst, and then subtly prime your thirst mechanism. That way you keep drinking and stay hydrated.
• Electrolyte Splash contains 80 calories per 16-ounce serving – that’s only 80 calories per water bottle. There are no artificial sweeteners or colors, which are often times used in low calorie drinks.
• Electrolyte Splash contains vitamins & minerals women athletes tend to be deficient in, such as Iron, Calcium, Folic Acid, and vitamins A, C & E. It also includes energizing B vitamins like Thiamin, Riboflavin, Niacin and B6 and B12.
• LUNA Sport Electrolyte Splash uses a high level of recyclable materials in its packaging.
In developing the LUNA Sport line of products, our intention was to give women athletes various options for how many calories they take in and how. With LUNA Sport Electrolyte Splash, we offer an 80-calorie sports drink that will primarily keep you hydrated and replace the electrolytes you lose through sweat. The carbohydrate level is enough to keep you going and depending on the duration of your workout, it might be just the right amount. However, for longer or more intense training, you may need to ingest more calories/carbohydrates to keep energized.
Because sports drinks on the market today were not designed with women in mind, many women athletes end up diluting them in order to reduce the amount of calories or sweetness levels. LUNA Sport makes it so that they can use the product as was designed.
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.
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.
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.
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.
No.
LUNA Sport Electrolyte Splash contains 80% organic ingredients and is certified organic by QAI. While Organic products have not been shown to help athletes perform better than products grown conventionally (with pesticides and herbicides), buying organic will undoubtedly contribute to better overall air and water quality which is of great value to endurance athletes. Who wants to ride or run in polluted air, or swim in a dirty lake?
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.
Yes, Electrolyte Splash is certified Kosher by KSA.
Yes. None of the ingredients and processes used to make LUNA Sport Electrolyte Splash are animal-derived. Electrolyte contains no dairy products.
Unlike most of our competitors 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 inks are soy-based. Most of our competitors use what’s called pressure-sensitive labels where the label is adhered with glue to the canister. It is virtually impossible to remove the label, which means that the canister will not be recycled curb-side. We chose to use a glue-dot application that allows the label to be easily pulled off, which then allows the canister to be recycled. 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. The ink on the lid sticker is soy-based.
Upon finishing a workout, your body has a window of approximately 30 minutes for maximum absorption of carbohydrate. (During intense activity you are depleting yourself of carbohydrate). Take advantage of this window by drinking LUNA Sport Recovery Smoothie, which has 21g of carbohydrate per 8oz serving. Along with carbs, LUNA Sport Recovery Smoothie contains 8 grams of whey protein which helps rebuild muscle and increases the amount of carbohydrate your body will up-take versus taking carbohydrate alone.
You can also drink LUNA Sport Recovery Smoothie anytime you want more protein in your diet – whether it’s because you don’t eat meat or just can’t seem to get enough protein in your regular daily diet.
LUNA Sport Recovery Smoothie also provides electrolytes, anti-oxidants, and supplemental amino acids. Electrolytes replace what you just sweated out, anti-oxidants fight the oxidative stress of activity, and specific amino acids boost your immune system and help with glycogen re-synthesis.

There are a few differences:
• Calories – LUNA Sport Recovery Smoothie contains 120 calories per 8 ounce serving vs. Clif SHOT Recovery which contains 160 calories per 8 ounce serving.
• Protein – LUNA Sport Recovery Smoothie contains 8 grams of whey protein vs. Clif SHOT Recovery which contains 5 grams of whey protein.
• Vitamins & Minerals - LUNA Sport Recovery Smoothie includes vitamins and minerals women athletes tend to be deficient in.
• Taste – As athletes, we know that after a workout it’s important that we feed our body what it needs in order to repair muscle, fight the oxidative stress of activity, and boost our immune system –all with the goal of feeling good and ready for the next workout. But we also know that what we eat has to taste good – after all, we’re taking back in those precious calories we just worked so hard to burn! LUNA Sport Recovery Smoothie tastes delicious and with only 120 calories, doesn’t un-do the effort you just made.
LUNA Sport Recovery Smoothie was designed to be a delicious drink when mixed with water. That being said, mixing LUNA Sport Recovery Smoothie with skim milk or soy milk only makes it that much better, as well as gives an added boost of calcium and protein. Try it both ways to see which one works for you.
Protein has two purposes: First it provides the basis of muscular regeneration. Second, it’s been clearly shown that in the presence of protein, carbohydrate re-uptake is more substantial.
No, neither flavor of LUNA Sport Recovery Smoothie contains caffeine.
Absolutely not. All of our flavors and colors are naturally derived.
No, LUNA Sport Recovery Smoothie is not Kosher. We are working towards this.
No. LUNA Sport Recovery Smoothie contains whey protein isolate which is dairy-derived.
LUNA Sport Recovery Smoothie contains 55% Organic ingredients, but the overall product is not certified organic. The reason for this is that at this time Amino Acids in general have not been approved by the National Organics Program (NOP). This does not mean that they will not be approved in the future; it’s just that they have not been considered yet. The amino acids in LUNA Sport Recovery Smoothie are plant derived and are non-GMO.
