LUNA® Bars and LUNA Sport Moons™ Energy Chews will be sampled at the Expo and will be on-course at designated Energy Zones and Aid Stations throughout the marathon weekend.

LUNA®, Whole Nutrition for Women®, nourishes women with healthy snacks made from entirely natural and organic ingredients and specific nutrients to help women maintain healthy, active lives. LUNA® is the first nutrition bar for women made with entirely natural and 70% certified organic ingredients. The bar provides women with specific vitamins and minerals that women are often lacking in their meal plans, such as calcium, folic acid, iron, vitamin D and antioxidants. LUNA also offers LUNA Sport®, Nutrition for Women Athletes™, the first organic performance line created to help women athletes get more of the nutrition they need. LUNA Sport takes into consideration things women athletes specifically need when it comes to nutrition, taste, calories and size.

Women can rely on LUNA to get the nutrition they need, without compromising on the quality of ingredients or great taste. LUNA’s food is made with certified organic ingredients, which are even healthier for our bodies and the environment. Eating organic foods can reduce exposure to synthetic pesticides and fertilizers as well as artificial hormones and antibiotics. What women put in their bodies can make a difference, especially in reducing harmful environmental exposures and preventing diseases such as breast cancer. LUNA’s commitment to environmental health extends to its partnership with the Breast Cancer Fund, a nonprofit organization that identifies–and advocates for elimination of–the environmental and other preventable causes of breast cancer.
