On behalf of Synergy CHC Corp. (the “Company”),

Letter and to update certain information in the Registration Statement, the Company is submitting its Amendment No. 1 to the Registration
Statement (the “Amended Registration Statement”) with the Commission today. The numbered paragraphs below correspond
to the numbered comments in the Comment Letter, and the Staff’s comments are presented in bold italics.

Response: The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s
comment and advises the Staff that it has revised its disclosure on pages 2 and 47 of the Amended Registration Statement to remove the
non-core brands from the “Summary” section and to remove claims of effectiveness of Neuragen. Further, the Company has revised
its disclosure on page 53 to include information about regulatory matters applicable to Neuragen and UrgentRx.

Synergy confirms that in future filings, as applicable, they will identify the experienced third parties and scientists they reference.

5.
Synergy confirms that it will revise future MD&A disclosures, as applicable, to identify and quantify each separate cause
that had a material positive or negative impact on its results from operations. Below please find Synergy’s draft disclosure
regarding the product acquisitions:
Results
of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014
During
2015, we completed five acquisitions, with at least one in each of the three targeted verticals of Nutraceuticals, Cosmeceuticals
and Over the Counter (OTC). Our objective is to grow all three verticals to provide a balanced and synergistic portfolio that
drives consumer demand via multiple channels. We expect the incorporation of these acquisitions into the Company will have a significant
impact on our revenue and results of operations.
Revenue
For
the year ended December 31, 2015, revenues from the sale of our products increased $13,447,219 to $13,456,377 from $9,158 in 2014.
This increase in revenues is primarily due to the acquisitions we completed during 2015 and is comprised of the following product
categories:
Nutraceuticals
$ 13,030,005
Cosmeceuticals
$ 9,954
Over the Counter
$ 416,418
Cost
of Revenue
For
the year ended December 31, 2015, our cost of revenue was $5,308,130. Our cost of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2014,
was $5,616, an increase of $ 5,302,474. This increase is also due to the acquisitions we completed during 2015 and is comprised
of the following product categories:
Nutraceuticals:
$ 5,194,832
Cosmeceuticals:
$ 2,662
Over the Counter:
$ 110,636
Operating
Expenses
Selling
and Marketing Expenses
For
the year ended December 31, 2015, our selling and marketing expenses were $3,685,727 as compared to $0 for the year ended December
31, 2014, which is primarily due to marketing our various products in multiple media channels including print, television and
online. This increase is solely attributable to the acquisitions we completed during 2015.
General
and Administrative Expenses
For
the year ended December 31, 2015, our general and administrative expenses were $3,368,495. For the year ended December 31, 2014,
our operating expenses were $961,636, which was primarily due to promoting the Synergy brand throughout North America and loss
from the Merger transaction. The increase in 2015 is primarily due to the acquisitions completed during 2015 and having general
costs now to run and manage each brand.
Wyrick
Robbins Yates & Ponton LLP
Depreciation
and Amortization Expenses
For
the year ended December 31, 2015 our depreciation and amortization expenses were $608,002 as compared to $0 for the year ended
December 31, 2014. The increase in 2015 is due to the acquisitions completed during 2015.
Other
Income and Expenses
For
the year ended December 31, 2015 we had other (income) and expense items of the following:
Interest income
$ (1,460 )
Interest expense
958,740
Remeasurement gain on translation of foreign subsidiary
(7,740 )
Loss on change in fair value of derivative liability
1,028,921
Amortization of debt discount
5,499,640
Amortization of debt issuance cost
154,525
Total
$ 7,632,626
For
the year ended December 31, 2014 we had interest expense of $1,998. The increase in interest expense in 2015 was due to the issuance
of loans for the purpose of acquisitions of various companies’ during 2015. We also issued warrants along with the loans
and paid debt issuance cost in 2015 which lead to the amortization of debt discount and debt issuance cost during 2015. We issued
warrants with a reset provision in 2015 which lead to the calculation of warrant derivative liability and hence we recorded a
loss on change in fair value of derivative liability.
Income
tax expense
For
the year ended December 31, 2015 we incurred income tax expense of $389,945 primarily related to our subsidiary, NomadChoice Pty
Limited (NomadChoice), located in Australia and which we acquired in 2015.
Net
Loss
For
the year ended December 31, 2015, our net loss was $7,536,548. This was primarily due to non-operating expenses such as amortization
of debt discounts and the change in the fair value of derivative liabilities. For the year ended December 31, 2014 our net loss
was $960,092. This was primarily due to increased spending on developing the Synergy brand and securing penetration in the U.S.
market and loss from the Merger transaction.

File No. 000-55098
Dear Mr. Lo:
Thank
you for your comment letter dated May 12, 2014. For the convenience of the Staff, we have restated the Staff’s comment in
bold type followed with our response below.
Form 8-K Filed
on May 7, 2014
Change in Accountant
1. When a reverse
merger occurs, a change in accountants is presumed to have occurred as well unless the same auditor audited the pre-merger financial
statements of both the registrant and the operating company. The successor auditor is presumed to be the one who will audit the
post-merger financial statements. We note that Synergy Strips Corp. and Oro Capital Corp. had separate auditors. Please amend the
Form 8-K to provide all information required by Item 304 of Regulation S-K.
Response: At the filing
of the Form 8-K and as of the date of this letter, the registrant has not changed its auditor (M&K CPAS, PLLC). We note that
the pre-merger financial statements of the operating company (Synergy Strips Corp.) were audited by its own auditor (L.L. Bradford
& Company, LLC), in order to expedite the merger transaction. As of the date of this letter, we have not yet determined if
the registrant’s auditor will be replaced, but we will timely disclose any change of auditor when it occurs under Item 4.01
of Form 8-K by providing all information required by Item 304 of Regulation S-K.

REQUEST FOR ACCELERATION
Dear Mr. Reynolds:
Pursuant to Rule 461 of Regulation C, Oro Capital Corporation ("Company"), hereby requests acceleration of the effective date of the above-referenced registration statement on Form S-1 to Friday, June 14, 2013 at 2:00 p.m., Eastern Standard Time, or as soon as practicable thereafter.
No broker-dealer is participating in the offering, so the offering terms and arrangements were not submitted to the FINRA for its review and approval in the absence of a requirement to do so. With respect to dissemination of information contemplated by Rules 460 and 461, offers will be made directly by the Company by delivering to each prospective investor a copy of the final prospectus.
The Company acknowledges that:
●
should the Commission or the staff acting pursuant to delegated authority, declare the filing effective, it does not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing;
●
the action of the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, in declaring the filing effective, does not relieve the company from its full responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing; and
●
the company may not assert staff comments and the declaration of effectiveness as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.
Should you require anything further, please let us know.
Thanks in advance.

In some of our comments, we may ask you to provide us with information so we may better understand your disclosure. Please respond to this letter by amending your registration statement and providing the requested information . If you do not believe our comments apply to your facts and circumstances or do no t believe an amendment is appropriate, please tell us why in your response. After reviewing any amendment to your registration statement and the information you provide in response to these comments, we may have additional comments. Prospectus Cover Page 1. Please limit your cover page to a single page, as required by Item 501 of Regulation S -K. In this respect disclosure not required on the cover page should be relocated to the Summary. In addition, please ensure that the cover page and other disclosu res are consistent throughout. For example it is unclear whether you are conducting a primary offering or a resale offering, based on your existing disclosure. We direct your attention to the reference to selling shareholders at the bottom of page 3. 2. We partially reissue comment seven from our letter dated December 18, 2012. Please revise the prospectus cover page to disclose that the total gross proceeds assumes you Danny Aaron Oro Capital Corporation, Inc. March 5, 2013 Page 2 will sell all of the shares in the offering and that you may realize only nominal proce eds in the offering. Summary, page 4 3. We reissue prior comment ten from our letter dated December 18, 2012. Please revise your Summary to briefly disclose the amount of funds necessary to commence your exploration activities and discuss your plans in t he event that the proceeds raised are insufficient to start exploring. In addition, please disclose your intention to repay related party loans with the proceeds. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, page 15 4. We note your revised disclosures in response to prior comment 15. Your response did not address our comment, thus the comment will be reissued. Considering your minimal cash and liquidity as of January 31, 2013, please revise to disclose your cash requir ements for the next twelve months and how you plan to fund your operations for next twelve months as required by Item 303(a) of Regulation S -K, including any ramifications if such plans are not realized. 5. Please provide the basis for your statement that you “have sufficient available cash in order to maintain operations during the next twelve months without the need for additional funds.” Your financial statements reflect no assets as of January 31, 2013 and $19,000 in liabilities. 6. Please revise to addr ess your capital requirements and exploration program in necessary detail, including the scope of your planned activities, and an estimated timeframe and cost. Discuss in greater detail the extent to which these planned activities are dependent upon raisi ng funding from this offering or other sources of funding, and discuss the impact upon the planned activities if you only raise nominal funding. In this regard we do not understand why you are unable to be more specific without being “too specific” as referenced on page 15. 7. Please revise your discussion under Results of Operations so that it addresses each material line item, such as net income/loss for each period. 8. We reissue prior comments 14 and 15 from our letter dated December 18, 2012. Please review the requirements of Item 303 of Regulation S -K and revise as appropriate. For example your revised disclosure should address your existing capital requirements and funding shortfall as well as discuss changes in your cash flows in necessary detail. 9. We note your response to comment 40 in which you have removed all references and reports prohibited by Industry Guide 7, but we note on page 15 of your amended filing Danny Aaron Oro Capital Corporation, Inc. March 5, 2013 Page 3 that you are considered to be in the development stage, as defined in Statement of Financi al Accounting Standards No. 7 and that you have been in the development stage since your inception. We re -issue comment 40. Please remove all references to the development stage from your filing. Use of Proceeds, page 19 10. We note the offering expenses o f $13,002. Please explain how these expenses have been broken down in the individual components of the use of proceeds tables. The numbers do not appear to reconcile. 11. Please revise the net proceeds at the 75%, 50%, and 25% levels, as the numbers in the table are incorrect. Also, if the offering expenses are greater than the net proceeds at the 25% level, please explain how you have allocated any of the proceeds to uses other than the offering expenses. 12. Please revise your tabular and narrative disclosur e to prominently state your intention to repay amounts due to your executive officer with the proceeds of the offering. Revise to disclose the total amounts due and the material terms of the loans. See Instruction 4 to Item 504 of Regulation S -K. Also, address the relative priority to be given to such repayment compared to other uses of proceeds. See prior comments 16 and 18 from our letter dated December 18, 2012. 13. In each scenario presented your use of proceeds exceeds your estimated net proceeds to a considerable extent. Please revise as appropriate. 14. In footnote six you refer to amounts “agreed on and deemed to be reasonable by respective parties …” Please name the natural persons constituting the ‘respective parties.’ 15. The disclosure responsive to prior comment 29 from our letter dated December 18, 2012 indicates you are required to make advanced royalty payments to Mr. Bain at a rate of $25,000/year commencing 36 months from September 1, 2011. Please revise here, in the risk factors, and in MD&A t o address this payment obligation, your ability to meet the obligation, and the material consequences of your failure to meet the obligation. 16. We reissue prior comment 31 from our letter dated December 18, 2012. Please revise your Use of Proceeds to refle ct the $3,072 annual assessment payable to the Saskatchewan government. Certain Transactions with Officers and Directors, page 22 17. Please reconcile the amount of rent and consulting services disclosed in this section with the amount reflected in the financial statements. Danny Aaron Oro Capital Corporation, Inc.
