Although B17 is not technically a vitamin–an essential nutrient that your body requires to function properly–the term "Vitamin B17" was introduced by biochemist Ernst T. Krebs in 1952 to describe purified amygdalin. Amygdalin is a naturally occurring plant compound found in the seeds of many fruits, including apricots, plums, cherries, peaches, nectarines, apples, and oranges, as well as in certain raw nuts and other plant sources.
Apricot Power’s Enteric Coated B17 Amygdalin Capsules consist of amygdalin extracted from apricot seeds. Each capsule is enteric-coated, a process that coats the capsules with a special plant-based polymer barrier that prevents them from dissolving in the stomach. When the capsule reaches the small intestine, it encounters a more alkaline environment, which causes the coating to dissolve.
