Dear
Ms. Dickerson and Mr. Campbell:
Vitro
Biopharma, Inc. (the “Company,” or “we”), is submitting this letter in response to comments from the staff of
the Securities and Exchange Commission contained in its letter dated August 20, 2024, relating to the
above-referenced Registration Statement on Form S-1. For ease of review, we have set forth below the comment of your letter followed
by the Company’s response thereto.
Amendment
No. 10 to Registration Statement on Form S-1
Prospectus
Summary
Note
Transactions in 2022, 2023 and 2024, page 8
1.
We
note your response to prior comment 6, including your revised disclosures on pages 10, Alt-1, Alt-13, and Alt-19 providing additional
detail about the securities that are covered by the resale prospectus. In these revised disclosures, you refer to “the Consolidated
Note in the principal amount of $4,150,000.” However, other disclosures in your prospectus indicate that the Consolidated Note
has an aggregate principal amount of $4,125,000. Please reconcile your disclosures or advise.
Response:
The
consolidated note has a principal amount of $4,125,000. The Company respectfully notes that the resale offering has been removed from
the registration statement, and the references to the principal amount of $4,150,000, which were included in the discussion
of the resale offering, have been removed accordingly.
2.
Please
further revise this section to disclose how you determined the number of shares underlying
the Consolidated Note. For example, we note your disclosure that 984,848 shares are issuable
upon conversion of $1,625,000 in principal amount of the Consolidated Note pursuant to an
optional conversion feature under the note, equal to 200% of the shares issuable at an assumed
conversion price of $3.30. However, we do not see any discussion of this optional conversion
feature and it is unclear why the number of shares being registered is equal to 200% of the
shares issuable.
Response:
The
Company respectfully notes that the resale offering has been removed from the registration statement and the disclosure regarding the
number the number of shares underlying the Consolidated Note, which was included in the discussion of the resale offering, has been removed
accordingly

3.
Please
further revise to clarify when the shares issuable upon conversion of the Consolidated Note will be issued and whether interest will
continue accruing on the note after the closing of your primary offering. In this regard, we note from your disclosures that the
Consolidated Note is convertible commencing on the maturity date, which appears to be October 16, 2024 or, at your election, November
16, 2024, except that the maturity date will automatically be extended to 180 days from closing of your primary offering if such
offering closes on or before October 16, 2024 or November 16, 2024, as applicable. To the extent that the beneficial ownership limitation
will require Target Capital 16 LLC to sell significant quantities of your common stock on or prior to the maturity date of the Consolidated
Note, please discuss whether these sales could exert downward pressure on your stock price.
Response:
The
Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comments and has added disclosure regarding the Consolidated Note in accordance
with the Staff’s comment.
4.
Please
revise this section to clarify if the default referenced on page 18 has caused or will cause you to default on any of your other
notes.
Response:
The
prospectus summary section has been revised to disclose that the default referenced on page 18 also constitutes an event of default certain
other outstanding notes, but such cross-defaults have been waived by the holders.

Please
update your discussion of liquidity and capital resources to the most recent practicable date, including the letter agreement entered
into on July 16, 2024, as disclosed on page 10, and debt outstanding in default, as disclosed on page 18. Please also clarify if
the debt default has caused you, or will cause you, to default on any of your other outstanding indebtedness.
Response:
The
Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comments and has revised the liquidity and capital resources section in accordance with the Staff’s comment.

revise your disclosure in the first bullet point on page Alt-18 to clarify what “1,276,342” represents at the end of
the bullet point.
Response:

Company respectfully notes that the resale offering has been removed from the registration statement and accordingly this section has
been removed.

General
8.
We
note your response to prior comment 17. Given, among other things, the pricing protection of the convertible notes, the size of the
investment, and the affiliate status of the selling stockholders, please revise the registration statement to identify Target Capital
16, LLC and Alchemy Advisory LLC as underwriters and state that they will resell their shares at a fixed price.
Response:
The
Company respectfully notes that the resale offering has been removed from the registration statement.
We
hope this response has addressed all of the Staff’s concerns relating to the comment letter. The Company requests that the Staff
contact it as soon as practical with any additional comments in order that those comments can be addressed expeditiously. If you have
any questions or would like further information with regard to the foregoing, please do not hesitate to contact our outside counsel by
phone at 212-398-2742 or by email at jcahlon@srfc.law.
Very
truly yours,
