﻿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.
And 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?
Stay tuned and I'll give update right now
Hey, what's happening? This is Martin Oguzie I'm a UK based
optometrist on this channel we're all about helping you see better,

That way you get reminded every time I release a new video.
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.
And then you're probably thinking we could end the video 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, you know, I kind of felt, you know,
a little bit amazed that this was happening.
But, you know, fast forward several weeks.
And, you know, I'm certainly seeing them
as much as I ever had been seen them before.
So, you know, the way I kind of rationalized
this and, you know, perhaps can explain this is I think,
really the fact that knowing that I was taking vitrocap, I had this expectation
of, you know, 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,
you know, and you know, as a result, you know, you know,
in my mind is kind of registering that, you know, I'm checking in quite regularly.
And I'm not seeing it as much in those 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 really notice my floaters in those situations.
So, you know, as I said, fast forward, you know, several weeks.
And, you know, I really can not say
that my floaters have reduced any more frequency.
And I certainly seeing 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.
And 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 may be 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 really quite a limited 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 that might have, you know, especially when we look at other
supplements and the difference that adding or subtracting a certain
kind of element may make to the overall effectiveness of the of the product.
So zinc is the the main addition to the new formulation of Vitrocap N.
So I put up on screen right now
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 a three month period of time, if not six months.
So it may,
you know, have an important impact on the effectiveness of the product.
If you use it over, you know, a minimum of three months use,
you know, however, you know, I'm still kind of sceptical about that.
But, you know, it definitely does
makes sense in my mind that,
you know, having some of the claims that they may they 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,
you know, a one shot, you know, a 30 day kind of use,
you know, which is likely to have, you know, little impact if any
indeed. I follow my 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, you know, so that's all interesting.
And somebody might want to have a look at that as well.
And 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 day period that I've tried it over.
So by way of conclusion to this video
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 really make any real noticeable difference to anybody.
So I wouldn't recommend it unless you are
looking to try 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 in actual fact, 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, you know, 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 gonna
to, you know, disintegrate your floaters and eliminate them altogether.
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 of time.
And, you know, probably question whether
3 months is gonna 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, you know, having, you know, 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,
you know, if you're thinking about it from that point of view, then, you know,
and you're happy with the cost of, you know, paying for the supplement over
time, then it's not necessarily a bad thing.
And the fifth point I make is that,
you know, 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 30 or for 3 months
and longer, you know, one of the main issues people
have with it is the fact that they don't see any benefit in using it.
So, you know, 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, you know,
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.
And of course, you can have the expectation 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 say, 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 obviously disappointed as a result.
And I think 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,
a particularly the Vitrocap N, then at least you can rest assured
that it's not likely to cause any problems from, you know, symptoms point of view or,
you know, any kind of adverse effects.
And 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 that's a positive as well for the product.
And 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 really, by all means, give it a go.
It's you know, I wouldn't put anybody off trying Vitrocap as long as you're aware
of what to expect and, you know, you you can afford to try this supplement
because it's not exactly a cheap product to purchase.
But, you know, give it a go for 3 months, 6 months.
You know, 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.
And I think that will do for this video.
