"Apricot kernel, a by-product of apricot fruit, is a rich source of proteins, vitamins, and carbohydrates. Moreover, it can be used for medicinal purposes and the formation of food ingredients. Several techniques have been adopted for the extraction of bioactive compounds from the apricot kernel such as solvent extraction, ultra-sonication, enzyme-assisted, microwave-assisted, and aqueous extraction. Apricot kernels may help to fight against various diseases such as cancer and cancer immunotherapy, as well as reduce blood pressure." ( NIH 07/2022 - Article PMC9332734)
The above statement is straight from the NIH website, and information gathered from the study. This little Kernel and the B-17 contained does wonders for our health. From heart disease and high cholesterol to cancer, this can help the healing journey of our most deadly conditions.Â
Apricot kernel contains the compounds caffeic acid and gallic acid. These are used in the preparation of various medicines and treatment of various diseases such as cardiovascular disease, breast cancer, anti-asthmatic, antiseptic, sedative, emetic, laxative, etc.Â
Flavonoids are also present in Apricot Kernels. dietary intake of flavonoids and flavones, reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease.
I could literally go ON AND ON about these kernels, but instead I will paste the numerous links to the scientific studies that show PROOF of the power of Apricot Kernels and the B17 they contain. They have shown over and over to have Anticancer effects. They continuously have caused apoptosis and cell cycle arrest ( Cancer cell death) in different types of cancer ON TOP OF all of the other conditions they treat.
Check out my favorite brand of kernels and extracts of the kernels through Richardson Nutritional Center. They have a beautiful brand and a beautiful company. The values and come up of this company almost had me in tears hearing about it. Look up their story and see for yourself why they do what they do <3Â
