VITAMIN B17 (Apricot Kernel Extract)
Vitamin B12 Apricot kernel extract
Vitamin B17 Aprikosenkernextract from the German company Sports & Health Solutions contains a premium quality pressed apricot kernel extract that provides amygdalin ("vitamin B17") and natural vitamin C extracted from acerola. It is created under the most precise hygiene standards and strict quality control at Sports & Health Solutions' own production facilities located in the Harz mountain region of Germany.
What is amygdalin ("vitamin B17")?
Amygdalin is a cyanogenic glycoside - a natural compound that is found in the highest quantities in apricot kernels. Other food sources of naturally occurring amygdalin are bitter almonds, pits of plums and cherries, seeds of apples and pears.
French chemists Robiquet and Boutron-Charlard first isolated amygdalin from bitter almond nuts in 1830. 15 years later, the compound was already being used for treatment in Russia. In the USA, its use for medicinal purposes began later - in the 1920s.
Is amygdalin a vitamin? No. Since the body does not need it for its normal functions (although it cannot synthesize it), it is not an actual vitamin. The reason why amygdalin is still popularly known as "vitamin B17" is because it was called that by the old researchers in the past, and this name has been retained to this day.
In 1920, Dr. Ernst T. Krebs advocated the use of amygdalin as an agent that could successfully be included in the therapy of oncological problems. Later, his son Ernst T. Krebs Jr. continued his work and in 1952 synthesized a synthetic version of amygdalin known as laetrile. Laetrile is the purified form of amygdalin, laetrile being derived from the terms laevorotatory and mandelonitrile.
The name "vitamin B17" was coined for laetrile by E. T. Krebs, Jr., and it remains the most popular to this day.
After ingestion, amygdalin breaks down in the body into several compounds - hydrogen cyanide, benzaldehyde and prunazine. Hydrogen cyanide has been found to be the main component of amygdalin responsible for its therapeutic action.
In addition to the key application for which it is most popular, amygdalin ("vitamin B17") has other beneficial properties - it is useful for hypertension (high blood pressure levels), asthma and bronchitis. Since it has a pronounced analgesic effect, it is also used to relieve pain in arthritis.
Why does the Sports & Health Solutions product also contain acerola?
Acerola is a small flowering shrub native to subtropical and tropical regions, and its fruits are the richest natural source of vitamin C.
Vitamin C is a powerful immunostimulant that also provides protection against oxidative stress and supports the health of the heart and blood vessels.
The natural vitamin C included in the Sports & Health Solutions product provides additional antioxidant protection and exhibits general strengthening properties.
