Vitamin B17 was discovered last century and is found in fruit and, in particular in the seeds of: apricot, peach, pear, plum, apple, berries, brown rice, bitter almond, macadam, cashew, barley, buckwheat, flax, millet, rye, wheat, beans, chickpeas, lentils and more.

Vitamin. This term is used to describe a group of organic compounds that are essential for normal growth and nutrition and are required in small amounts in the diet because they cannot be synthesized by the body.

B17. This name is not recognized in the official nomenclature of vitamins. The term "vitamin B17" was popularized by a biochemist called Ernst T. Krebs in the 1950s as part of a theory that cancer is caused by a deficiency in this particular compound. However, this theory has not been supported by scientific evidence and "Vitamin B17" is not considered a true vitamin.

The compound most often associated with "vitamin B17" is amygdalin, a naturally occurring cyanogenic glycoside (a molecule that can release cyanide) found in the kernels of many raw fruits and nuts. It is also found in other plants such as lima beans, clover, and sorghum.

Amygdalin is sometimes incorrectly referred to as "vitamin B17" in various contexts, but it is important to note that it is not a recognized vitamin and its effectiveness and safety as a cancer treatment has not been established. In fact, it can be toxic or lethal in high doses, especially when taken orally, because of its ability to release cyanide.

The requirement of Vitamin B17 is that of a fruit. For example, it is not advisable to eat a significant amount of seeds.

Vitamin B17 had his moment of fame with the publication of the American doctor G. Edward Griffin who claimed that cancer is formed only because of the lack of this vitamin. Theory rejected by practically all medical and health organizations.

Amygdalin has been the subject of studies that have shown its efficacy in inhibiting renal fibrosis (1).

The taste of vitamin B17 is bitter.

Another component of vitamin B17 is cyanide.
