Apricot Seed Extract — Available in 9 Formats

Q: What is apricot seed extract?

Apricot seed extract is a concentrated extract derived exclusively from the kernels of bitter apricot fruits (Prunus armeniaca). The kernels contain amygdalin, the active compound also known as Vitamin B17. TJ Supply carries only Novodalin brand apricot seed extract, HPLC verified at ≥98% purity per batch.

Q: What is the difference between amygdalin, laetrile, and Vitamin B17?

Amygdalin is the naturally occurring compound found in bitter apricot kernels. Laetrile is a semi-synthetic, water-soluble derivative of amygdalin developed in the 1950s. Vitamin B17 is a common marketing name for amygdalin-based supplements. All Novodalin products sold by TJ Supply contain natural amygdalin extracted directly from bitter apricot kernels.

Q: Which format of apricot seed extract is best for beginners?

For those new to apricot seed extract supplementation, the 100mg tablets or 100mg capsules are the most popular starting point. They deliver a lower dose per serving and allow users to begin gradually. The 500mg formats are the most popular overall and are the highest-dose oral option available.

Q: Are all TJ Supply apricot seed extract products from the same manufacturer?

Yes. Every apricot seed extract product sold by TJ Supply is manufactured by Novodalin under GMP-certified conditions following 21 CFR Part 111 Good Manufacturing Practices. TJ Supply is an authorized Novodalin distributor and is listed on novodalin.com.

Q: What does HPLC verified ≥98% purity mean?

High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) is a laboratory technique used to identify and quantify compounds in a sample. Novodalin tests each batch of apricot seed extract by HPLC to confirm that the amygdalin content is at or above 98% purity. This is the industry gold standard for supplement purity verification.

Q: What is the difference between tablets and capsules?

Both tablets and capsules deliver the same authentic Novodalin amygdalin at the same HPLC-verified purity. Tablets are compressed directly from the purified extract. Capsules enclose the extract in a vegetarian-friendly shell. The amygdalin content, purity, and source are identical between the two forms.

Q: What is the Novodalin Cream and how is it different from the oral formats?

The Novodalin Cream is a topical formulation combining amygdalin with DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) for skin application. The 44ml cream contains 15% amygdalin + 10% DMSO. The 15ml Vita B17 Cream contains 7% amygdalin + 6% DMSO. Both are for external use only and are distinct from the oral supplement formats.

Q: Who is the injectable amygdalin intended for?

The Amygdalin Injectable 3g/10ml is intended for use by licensed healthcare professionals only. It is not a self-administered product. TJ Supply supplies this format to healthcare practitioners who specifically request it as part of their clinical practice.

Q: Do you ship apricot seed extract internationally?

Yes. TJ Supply ships Novodalin apricot seed extract products worldwide from San Ysidro, California. Free shipping is available on US orders over $90. International shipping rates vary by destination. Call +1-619-819-7531 or email b17@tjsupply.com for international shipping inquiries.

Q: Is apricot seed extract the same as raw apricot kernels?

No. Raw apricot kernels are the whole seed and contain amygdalin at inconsistent concentrations. Apricot seed extract is a purified, concentrated form of amygdalin obtained through a controlled extraction process, verified by HPLC to be ≥98% pure amygdalin. Novodalin products are manufactured extracts, not raw seeds.

Why TJ Supply for Apricot Seed Extract

01

Exclusively Bitter Apricot Seeds

Every Novodalin product uses kernels sourced exclusively from Prunus armeniaca — the bitter apricot species with the highest natural amygdalin concentration. Sweet apricot or other stone-fruit kernels are never used or substituted.
02

HPLC Verified ≥98% Per Batch

Every manufacturing lot is tested by High-Performance Liquid Chromatography before release. A batch that does not reach 98% amygdalin purity is never shipped. You receive a Certificate of Analysis on request.
03

GMP Certified Under 21 CFR Part 111

Novodalin manufactures all products in a GMP-certified facility under FDA Good Manufacturing Practices. Every step from raw seed intake through final packaging follows verified protocols. TJ Supply distributes only finished product from this facility.
04

Dr. Krebs Jr.’s Original Extraction Method

Novodalin uses the original amygdalin extraction and purification process developed by Dr. Ernst T. Krebs Jr. — the researcher credited with standardizing amygdalin for use as a dietary supplement. This method produces the most consistent and highest-purity form of the compound available.

“All TJ Supply apricot seed extract products come from the same Novodalin manufacturing facility, carry the same ≥98% HPLC purity guarantee, and are distributed by the same authorized channel that has served customers worldwide for over 25 years.”

The Novodalin Extraction Process

How raw bitter apricot kernels become ≥98% pure amygdalin

Tree Selection

Only bitter apricot trees (Prunus armeniaca) are selected as the botanical source. Sweet apricot varieties, which contain far less amygdalin, are never used. Harvest timing is controlled to ensure peak kernel maturity.

Kernel Separation

Harvested apricot fruits are processed to separate the hard pit from the flesh. The pit is cracked to extract the inner kernel — the concentrated natural source of amygdalin. Only intact, undamaged kernels proceed to extraction.

Amygdalin Extraction

The kernels undergo a controlled solvent extraction process using Dr. Ernst T. Krebs Jr.’s original method. This technique selectively isolates amygdalin from the kernel matrix while minimizing co-extraction of oils and other seed compounds.

Purification

The crude extract is subjected to multi-stage purification. Fractional crystallization and filtration steps remove non-amygdalin compounds. The resulting crystalline amygdalin is tested at this stage before proceeding to final formulation.

HPLC Verification

Every lot is tested by High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) — the gold standard for purity analysis. Only lots that confirm ≥98% amygdalin content advance to formulation. The HPLC result is recorded in the batch Certificate of Analysis.

GMP Formulation & Packaging

Verified amygdalin is formulated into the appropriate delivery format — tablet, capsule, cream, or injectable — under GMP-certified conditions following 21 CFR Part 111. Each bottle is sealed, labeled, and quality-checked before distribution to TJ Supply.
