Amygdalin

What is Amygdalin?

Amygdalin is a naturally occurring cyanogenic glycoside found in the seeds of bitter almonds, apricots, peaches, and other rosaceous fruits. It’s often referred to as vitamin B17, though it’s not a true vitamin. Chemically, it’s a molecule of mandelonitrile linked to a gentiobiose sugar, and it has been a topic of interest for decades due to its unique properties and controversial reputation.

Synonyme: Laetrile, Vitamin B17, D-Mandelonitrile-beta-gentiobioside, Amygdaloside, Amygdalin purum

Amygdalin Sources

While apricot kernels are the most common commercial source, bitter almonds and peach kernels also contain significant amounts. Our amygdalin is extracted from the seeds of Prunus armeniaca (apricot) using a carefully controlled process to ensure consistent quality and purity. We offer a range of specifications from 5% to 98%, allowing you to choose the right grade for your application.

How Amygdalin Works

Amygdalin’s activity is linked to its cyanogenic nature. When consumed, it can be broken down by enzymes in the gut, releasing benzaldehyde and hydrogen cyanide in small amounts. This mechanism has led to its study in various health contexts, though its use is highly debated. For formulators, it’s important to understand the stability and handling of this compound, especially at higher purities.

Safety and Handling

Amygdalin is a potent compound, and safety is paramount. At higher purities, it requires careful handling to avoid accidental release of cyanide. We provide full safety data sheets and recommend proper protective equipment during processing. Our product meets strict quality standards, with every batch tested for purity and contaminants before shipping.
