MACULAR SHIELD
Builds the eye's natural light filter
Lutein and zeaxanthin are the only carotenoids that selectively accumulate in the macula, where they form a yellow pigment layer that filters the harshest wavelengths and supports contrast. The body cannot make either - dietary supply is the only way to build the pigment.
EYE-BRAIN PATHWAY
Supports attention, focus and short-term memory
In preadolescent studies, higher macular pigment density correlates with stronger attention, processing speed and academic performance - independent of IQ, sex, fitness, or body composition.
SCREEN DEFENSE
Helps the eyes handle daily screen load
In the 2024 RCT, the supplemented group reported nearly 5x greater reduction in screen-related eye strain vs placebo - flagged by the authors as a novel finding for kids. (Parekh 2024, Advances in Therapy)
One soft gummy a day - clinically dosed to help kids handle screens, support focus, and build the eye protection they will carry for life.

The macula - the part of the eye behind sharp, central vision - matures through roughly the first decade of life. The protective pigment a child builds in these years sets the baseline they carry for the rest of theirs.
The nutrients that build it, lutein and zeaxanthin, cannot be made by the body - they only come from food most kids do not eat enough of. What you start now can protect their sight for life.

Clinically studied in children
Attention scores rose nearly 10x more than kids on placebo.
vs. placeboRecall and working-memory gains while placebo barely moved.
vs. placeboScreen-related eye strain fell nearly 5x more than on placebo.
vs. placeboFrom a 2024 randomized, double-blind trial giving 60 children a lutein and zeaxanthin gummy for 6 months. Advances in Therapy, 2024. Individual results vary; this product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
Plant-based, no junk
Both from Lutemax 2020, a researched marigold-flower extract - the same carotenoids in the adult formula, dosed for kids.

Most kids' eye gummies sit well below the dose used in clinical research. Klaris Kids matches the 2024 trial dose.
| Klaris Kids | Typical gummy | |
|---|---|---|
| Lutein | 10 mg | 0.5 - 5 mg |
| Zeaxanthin | 2 mg | 0.1 - 1 mg |
| Source | Lutemax 2020 | Often unbranded |
| Studied dose | Matches Parekh 2024 | Below trial dose |
He used to fight every vitamin we tried. With these he asks for one after breakfast.
His eyes are still growing and screens are everywhere now. Glad he's got something simple covering that piece.

I started giving these to my grandkids over the summer so they would be set for the school year.
