B-17? Sounds like a vitamin.

It is so considered by some: Laetrile. Found in apricot and apple seeds.

The FDA does not recognize. Used in Mexico as anti-carcinogenic alternative treatment.

If there is no genuine deficiency disease associated with its lack, then it is not legitimately a vitamin. However, that is a separate consideration from whether its presence has salutary effect.

Since such seeds are also high in cyanotic compounds, they can be dangerous in large doses.

Not prescribing, just informing.
