HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Amygdalin Vitamin B17 110 mg by Dr. Clark Store

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains 1 active ingredient: amygdalin (110 mg per capsule), a compound found in apricot kernels that your body converts to cyanide. The capsule itself is made from gelatin, with rice flour as an inactive filler.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not assessable

This is a single-ingredient Apricot Kernel product and its label doesn't state a use — see Apricot Kernel's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

For cancer, amygdalin is rated possibly ineffective based on the evidence we hold. It's not established to work for this purpose.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Apricot Kernel

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

This is where we need to be direct. The safety data advises against taking amygdalin — consuming more than 2 small apricot kernels or half of a large one daily may cause acute or chronic cyanide poisoning.

Children are at risk from any dose. Symptoms of poisoning include abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness, confusion, weakness, and in severe cases, seizures, respiratory failure, and death.

One case documented elevated liver enzymes and persistent cyanide byproducts weeks after stopping. During pregnancy and breastfeeding, the safety data advises against use.

Cyanide exposure can harm mother and baby, and cyanide byproducts may pass into breast milk with unknown safety.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Apricot Kernel

Meds to double-check

No known interactions
Known Interaction Concern · database check
No known interactions

No medication interactions are currently documented for the matched ingredients — that isn't a guarantee none exist.

Why this rating?
  • None of the 1 matched ingredient has a documented medication interaction on file.

No interactions are documented for the ingredients we could check. However, the concern with this product is not drug interactions — it's the cyanide toxicity from amygdalin itself.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.

We can't recommend this product. Amygdalin converts to cyanide in your body, and documented cases show it can cause serious poisoning — even liver damage — at doses people have taken.

It's not proven effective for cancer. If you're exploring alternatives for cancer care, please talk with your oncologist or pharmacist first.

Amygdalin Vitamin B17 110 mg by Dr. Clark Store: Common Questions

Does Amygdalin Vitamin B17 110 mg by Dr. Clark Store interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in Amygdalin Vitamin B17 110 mg. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Amygdalin Vitamin B17 110 mg contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Is amygdalin the same as vitamin B17?
Amygdalin is marketed as vitamin B17, but it's not actually a vitamin. It's a compound from apricot kernels that your body breaks down into cyanide. That conversion is where the toxicity risk comes from.
How much of this product would be dangerous to take?
More than 2 small apricot kernels or half of a large apricot kernel daily can trigger acute or chronic cyanide poisoning in adults. Since this capsule contains 110 mg of amygdalin, even one or two daily poses risk — and children are at risk from any dose.
What are the signs that I'm being poisoned by amygdalin?
Early signs include abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness, headache, weakness, and confusion. More serious symptoms are seizures, palpitations, low blood pressure, respiratory failure, paralysis, and coma. If you've taken this product and develop any of these, seek emergency care immediately.
Can I take this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. The safety data advises against use during pregnancy and breastfeeding because cyanide exposure can harm both mother and baby, and cyanide byproducts may pass into breast milk with unknown safety.
Does amygdalin actually work for cancer?
The evidence we hold rates it possibly ineffective for cancer. It's not established to work, and the toxicity risk makes it not worth considering as a treatment.
