We've been distributing Amygdalin for 25+ years. Before you buy anything, read this page. It takes 5 minutes and will answer every question you have.
You've been reading about B17 for weeks and want to separate fact from marketing before spending money.
You're exploring options for someone you love and need to feel confident in the product's legitimacy before recommending it.
You're interested in Amygdalin as part of a broader wellness approach and want to understand exactly what you'd be taking.
You've seen too many unverifiable claims online and want straight, documented information from a source you can evaluate.
Amygdalin is a naturally occurring compound — a cyanogenic glycoside — found in the seeds of fruits from the Prunus genus, most abundantly in raw bitter apricot kernels (Prunus armeniaca). It was first isolated by French chemists in 1830 and has been studied in scientific literature ever since.
You'll encounter it under several names:
At TJ Supply, we distribute Amygdalin extracted from selected fresh, raw, bitter apricot kernels using Dr. Krebs' original low-temperature extraction method — a process designed to preserve the natural glycoside bond of the molecule. All products are verified at ≥98% purity by HPLC chromatography.

The single biggest risk when buying Amygdalin online is receiving a product with no documentation. There are many sellers who offer low-quality or adulterated products. Here is exactly what to ask for from any distributor — including us.
We have never hidden this information, and we never will. A responsible distributor tells you the full picture before you buy — not after.
Amygdalin is a cyanogenic glycoside. During metabolic breakdown, it releases small amounts of hydrogen cyanide. At inappropriate doses or when combined with certain foods that accelerate hydrolysis (high-enzyme foods like raw almonds, bean sprouts, or certain fruit seeds), the risk of cyanide toxicity is clinically documented. Cases have been reported in the medical literature from both raw apricot kernel consumption and concentrated extracts.
This risk is dose-dependent and manageable under professional supervision — but it is real, and any distributor who minimizes it is not being straight with you.

This is not a legal disclaimer written by our lawyers. It is a professional standard of care that we take seriously, and it is the most important sentence on this page:
A qualified practitioner — your physician, an integrative oncologist, or a licensed naturopath — can evaluate your specific situation, review your current medications for interactions, and help you determine if, when, and how Amygdalin supplementation might be appropriate for you.
