Bitter Apricot Extract Amygdalin 98%
Product Introduction
Our amygdalin raw material is carefully selected dried kernels (bitter apricot kernels) from *Prunus armeniaca* L. (Rosaceae), sourced from wild or standardized cultivation sites on the Loess Plateau in Shaanxi, China; stable year-round supplies are ensured, unaffected by production shortfalls in overseas regions.
We employ a dual-phase counter-current extraction process using ethanol and water at ambient temperature. Our products are available in five grades—Food Grade (10%/50%), Dietary Supplement Grade (95%), and Pharmaceutical High-Purity Grade (98%/99%)—with customization of active ingredient concentrations available across all specifications; we can also produce ultra-fine powders (80-mesh/120-mesh) and crystalline granules upon request.
The product is water-soluble and free from visible impurities.
Product benefits
Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity: Studies published in journals such as *Phytomedicine* and the *Journal of Ethnopharmacology* confirm that amygdalin inhibits the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6) and alleviates chronic inflammatory responses; it is frequently used as an antioxidant ingredient in dietary supplements.
Respiratory soothing (traditional pharmacopoeial use): Amygdalin is the key active antitussive component of bitter apricot kernel—a substance listed in the *Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China*—and serves as a mainstream ingredient in proprietary Chinese medicines and throat-soothing dietary products.
In vitro tumor cell regulation: In vitro studies (e.g., via PMC and ACS) indicate that, at specific concentrations, amygdalin can induce apoptosis in certain cancer cells and inhibit VEGF expression associated with tumor angiogenesis; however, it is currently used only as a raw material for drug development and scientific research, and has not been approved for clinical anti-tumor use in humans.
Research into anti-organ fibrosis: Studies in Western pharmaceutical journals demonstrate that amygdalin has the potential to regulate pathways associated with liver and pulmonary fibrosis; it is commonly used as an ingredient in the development of targeted formulations and novel nanoliposomal drugs.
Skincare and brightening: By inhibiting tyrosinase activity and reducing melanin deposition, it serves as a botanical ingredient for gentle skin-brightening cosmetics, often found in serums and creams.

Q1: Is Amygdalin Vitamin B17? Can it be used as an anti-cancer drug?
A: While commonly referred to as "Vitamin B17" in the industry, international nutritional organizations do not classify it as a B-vitamin. The FDA and the American Cancer Society have not approved Amygdalin as a prescription anti-cancer drug. This product is intended solely as a raw material for dietary supplements, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical R&D intermediates; it cannot replace clinical anti-cancer medications. Purchasers must comply with local regulations when manufacturing finished products.
Q2: How do I choose the right purity level for Amygdalin?
A: 10%–50% for food, animal feed, and standard cosmetics;
95% for standard health supplements (tablets/capsules);
98% (High Purity) for pharmaceutical intermediates, scientific research, and high-end skincare products.
Q3: Is there a risk of excessive cyanide levels in the product?
A: Our recrystallization process strictly controls free cyanide levels; every batch undergoes comprehensive testing before leaving the factory to ensure compliance with EU and national limits. The free cyanide content in our high-purity crystalline product is significantly lower than that in crude extract powders. Third-party test data is available, and reports can be requested in advance.
Q4: What is the Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ)? Is there stock available?
A: High-purity (98%): MOQ 1 kg; 50% Food Grade: MOQ 25 kg. We maintain a standing inventory of at least 2 metric tons for standard specifications; orders ship within 48 hours of payment, with a lead time of 3–5 working days during peak seasons.
Q5: How should the product be stored? What is the shelf life?
A: Store in a sealed container in a cool, dry warehouse away from light and moisture. Shelf life is 24 months in the original sealed packaging.
Q6: What customs documents are required for export to Europe and the US?
A: We provide the Certificate of Origin (CO), Health Certificate, copies of business qualifications, and the Certificate of Analysis (COA) free of charge. We also assist with commodity inspection documentation as needed to meet the specific import requirements of different countries.
Q7: Can the purification process be customized according to a client's proprietary formula?
A: Yes, customization is supported. Our R&D team can adjust raw material purity and water solubility based on the client's end-product dosage form (e.g., capsules, liquid formulations, or skincare products). The customization lead time is 7–15 working days.
