Amygdalin (from Ancient Greek: ἀμυγδαλή amygdalē "almond") is a naturally occurring chemical compound found in many plants, most notably in the seeds (kernels) of apricots, bitter almonds, apples, peaches, cherries, and plums.
Amygdalin is classified as a cyanogenic glycoside because each amygdalin molecule includes a nitrile group, which can be released as the toxic cyanide anion by the action of a beta-glucosidase. Eating amygdalin will cause it to release cyanide in the human body, and may lead to cyanide poisoning.
Since the early 1950s, both amygdalin and a chemical derivative named Laetrile have been promoted as alternative cancer treatments, often under the misnomer vitamin B17 (neither amygdalin nor Laetrile is a vitamin).[2] Scientific study has found them to be clinically ineffective in treating cancer, as well as potentially toxic or lethal when taken by mouth due to cyanide poisoning.The promotion of Laetrile to treat cancer has been described in the medical literature as a canonical example of quackery,[4][5] and as "the slickest, most sophisticated, and certainly the most remunerative cancer quack promotion in medical history".

It may lower blood pressure: An older study on people between 40 and 65 years old found that amygdalin helped lower systolic blood pressure by 28.5% and diastolic blood pressure by 25%. However, this was a very low-quality study that did not use a control group, so more research is necessary.
It may provide pain relief: Older research on rats indicates that amygdalin may help relieve pain. However, there is a lack of human-based evidence to suggest the effectiveness of amygdalin as a pain-reliever.
It may improve immunity: A 2020 study suggests that vitamin B17 may help increase immunity. However, the research also highlights a lack of evidence to support this and that more research is necessary.
