Over the last month and a half, I’ve been using VitroCap of the eye care supplement that aims to help eradicate your vitreous floaters. The question is, over that time, have I noticed a difference in the number of floaters that I’m seeing and also how often that I’m seeing them?
I’ll give an update right now……
So today we’re going to have a look at my update on VitroCap, the supplement that I’ve been taking now for about a month and a half and I’m going to give you my feedback about whether it’s made a difference at all to my floaters.
So getting straight into it, I will say that VitroCap hasn’t made any real difference at all to the floaters that I’ve got in the last 30 days of trying it and you probably won’t be surprised by that, then you’re probably thinking we could end the post right here but there are a couple of interesting points I will raise and also just some interesting things I noticed that are probably worth mentioning now.
My first week of using VitroCap, one of the things I did notice was that to my mind, it seemed like I just wasn’t noticing my floaters as much and I kind of felt a little bit amazed that this was happening but, fast forward several weeks, I’m certainly seeing them as much as I ever had been seeing them before.
The way I kind of rationalized this and, perhaps can explain this is I think, really the fact that knowing that I was taking VitroCap, I had this expectation of something happening, not necessarily that things are going to improve, but I will certainly making more checks of whether I see my floaters than I would normally do on a day to day basis and it may just be that I always do more checks in environments where my floaters would naturally be less visible, such as in more of a darker poorly lit environments, and as a result in my mind is kind of registering that, I’m checking in quite regularly and I’m not seeing it as much in that kind of situations, whereas a normal day to day basis, my floaters would just suddenly be visible to me because I’m on a computer screen or high contrast environment like the computer monitor or looking up at the sky or in a very well lit room as well, I would notice my floaters in those situations.
As I said, fast forward, several weeks I really can not say that my floaters have reduced any more in frequency and I certainly see them as much as. I would normally see them as well, so it’s worth pointing out that compared to some of the research work they looked at and also compared to the VitroCap that is available on the market now, my VitroCap that I tested is the original formulation of VitroCap, whereas what you will get in the market now is the newer formulation, which is called VitroCap N. As far as I’m aware, they don’t sell the original VitroCap anymore, although it seems that most of the UK-based suppliers only have the original version, so it just maybe that it’s a little bit slow trickling out into the supply chain.
Having said that, the difference between the original formulation and the new formulation of VitroCap N is quite limited in difference, I think the main issue that I can see is the main difference, rather, that I can see is the inclusion of zinc in the new formulation and it may be that ends up being quite an important addition. Certainly, you can’t underestimate the impact that might have, especially when we look at other supplements and the difference that adding or subtracting a certain kind of element may make to the overall effect of the product.
Zinc is the main addition to the new formulation of VitroCap N, so I put below a comparison of the original ingredients from the fact sheet that came with my VitroCap and also the new ingredients that are found on the marketing material for VitroCap N.

In other words, I think my short period of trial of VitroCap might be a bit unfair to the research work that’s been done and also to the company that makes VitroCap is the fact that I’ve only been using it for 30 days, whereas the supplement comes in a three month supply and the research work that’s been done on it is usually been done over at least three months, if not six months.
So it may have an important impact on the effectiveness of the product, if you use it over, a minimum of three months use, however, I’m still kind of skeptical about that but, it does make sense in my mind that, having some of the claims that they may have on this product and also looking at the mechanism that it’s supposed to work by that there’s something that will need to kind of really get in your system and would perhaps have a build-up or a cumulative effect over time rather than, a one-shot, a 30 days kind of use, which is likely to have little impact if any indeed.
I follow the last video I had a few comments and some suggestions from people in the comments section, shout out to Daryl Tyrer, who sent me some other research work, which I find quite interesting, so there’s a couple of interesting articles that I think might be useful for people to have a look at. I include them in the description box as well, so you can have a look at some of those research as well, which generally does tend to support, first of all, a theory that antioxidants, including I-lysine, which is found in VitroCap, might have a benefit over time in stopping the degenerative process that leads to floaters developing.
On top of that as well, some of the research work that’s done specifically on VitroCap that Daryl sent me is also supporting some of the benefits of VitroCap and being able to help you with the development of vitreous floaters, so that’s all interesting and somebody might want to have a look at that as well. I think some of this research work does relate to VitroCap N rather than the original formulation again, that I have tried in this in this kind of 30 days period that I’ve tried it over.
So by way of conclusion to this post is a couple of points that I just want to use to summarize.
First of all, in my experience, using it for 30 days, I don’t think it’s going to make any real noticeable difference to anybody, so I wouldn’t recommend it unless you are looking to try it on a longer-term basis if you want to do that at all.
Secondly, I think there’s going to be likely some psychological benefit experience using VitroCap but just be aware that if you do experience this, then it’s likely to be short-lived and you may well find that further on down the line that your floaters haven’t reduced in the way that you thought that might be the case now.
Thirdly, and I think this is probably one of the most significant things that I would kind of add is that I think VitroCap is going to help, I think personally that it’s unlikely that it’s going to help to eliminate floaters, that you already have some of the mechanisms that I’ve kind of read in the research work. I can see through that how it might be beneficial along with other antioxidants to help you slow down the formation or the likelihood of floaters developing early prematurely but if you already have floaters, I’m not convinced that VitroCap is going to disintegrate your floaters and eliminate them. So, people who are buying it with that expectation, I think you have to kind of be prepared to be disappointed.
Fourthly, I think any benefit that you’re going to get from Vitrocap is going to come over time, it’s going to have a cumulative effect as you use it over time rather than short periods and, probably question whether 3 months is going be effective enough period as well but certainly, if your body is low on antioxidants and certainly in your in the vitreous humor in the eyeball is low in antioxidants and particularly things like this I-lysine, then it could be then that you are at risk of getting vitreous floaters early.
So having a buildup of antioxidants in the vitreous and I-lysine, then it may well be that you get the protective benefit of vitreous floaters developing or getting worse over time. So, if you’re thinking about it from that point of view, then, you know, and you’re happy with the cost of paying for the supplement over time, then it’s not necessarily a bad thing.
The fifth point I make is that, on Amazon, this product doesn’t have fantastic reviews, although I think the reviews that I’ve seen are for the original VitroCap rather than Vitrocap N. Judging by the reviews that I have seen of people who claim to have used this product for 3 months and longer, one of the main issues people have with it is the fact that they don’t see any benefit in using it. So, VitroCap the kind of audience for this product is gonna be people who already have floaters and if you have floaters, you will know that the struggle to deal with them is a real one, then you’re gonna be the kind of person that’s gonna go out to get VitroCap, of course, you can expect that you want your floaters to be eradicated, you want them gone.
So all these people are going out buying VitroCap and what they’re finding is that it’s not having an impact on floaters, so regardless of what the research says, you do have these people who are giving feedback and essentially saying that it’s not making a difference to their floaters and they’re disappointed as a result.
The final point that I make is that in my time of using VitroCap, it hasn’t had any negative side effects for me, I haven’t had any issues, I haven’t felt anything different so at least that’s a positive and if you’re somebody who wants to kind of give it a go, particularly the VitroCap N, then at least you can rest assured that it’s not likely to cause any problems from a symptoms point of view or, any kind of adverse effects. What I’ve seen in comments and feedback from other people, nobody’s saying that it’s causing them any issues or making things worse so that’s a positive as well for the product.
If you’re somebody who takes a philosophical approach on things like this and you feel that as long as it doesn’t make things worse or cause any adverse side effects, that you’re happy to kind of shell out the money to try this, then I’d say, by all means, give it a go. I wouldn’t put anybody off trying VitroCap as long as you’re aware of what to expect and you can afford to try this supplement because it’s not exactly a cheap product to purchase. But, give it a go for 3 months, 6 months that probably gives you ample enough time to assess whether you think this product is gonna be something that you want to persevere with over the long term.
I think that will do for this post, so thank you for reading but If you haven’t watched my first video, the first initial video on VitroCap, you can get that just by clicking the link on the link below and also, if you haven’t checked out some of the research work that’s been done on this product, I’m going to leave them in the link below so you can check that out as well.
