What Are The Benefits Of Taking Laetrile?
by Charlie Berry
There's a new nutrient that's gaining a lot of media attention lately. It's called laetrile or vitamin B17. You won't find vitamin B17 content listed on nutrient labels because it has not been researched well enough for government agencies to establish an RDA or adequate intake, but that does not mean that laetrile is not important. Taking laetrile supplements can be beneficial in a few different ways.
Reduced Blood Pressure
High blood pressure increases your risk of heart attack and stroke. Many people take medications to lower blood pressure, when really what they need most might be better nutrition. Laetrile is one nutrient that may help lower blood pressure. You can get more laetrile by eating more carrots, celery, sprouts, and beans, which are also high in fiber — another nutrient that can help increase heart health when consumed in increased volumes.
Pain Relief
Some people have experienced relief from chronic pain when they increase the amount of vitamin B17 in their diets. It is thought that the nutrient allows for pain relief by reducing the amount of inflammation in the body. Inflammation can cause pain or make it worse. Inflammatory pain conditions that may improve when you start taking vitamin B17 include arthritis, gout, and sports injuries. If you have pain related to an old injury or joint replacement, laetrile may help.
Improved Immunity
It is thought that the body converts some of the laetrile you consume to cyanide — not enough to harm you as long as you take the supplements as recommended — but enough to help your immune system fight off pathogens like viruses, bacteria, and fungi. If you get sick often and your doctor has confirmed that nothing more sinister is happening, you may want to try vitamin B17 supplements to boost your immunity.
Cancer Prevention
The cyanide generated when vitamin B17 breaks down is also said to help fight off cancerous and precancerous cells. While there is not way to prevent cancer 100%, every little bit helps — and adding laetrile to your diet can be a smart step. If you are at an increased risk for cancer due to your genetics or exposure on the job, taking laetrile may be a way to negate your risk.
Vitamin B17 is not a miracle cure for any illness or ailment, but it can be a beneficial supplement to take. Talk to your doctor for more tips and advice, and reach out to companies like Primo Health Technologies to learn more about B17.

About Me
I used to be skeptical about chiropractic healing. However, that was before I tried it for myself. I was in an accident that did serious damage to my back. I followed all of the doctor’s recommendations, did my physical therapy, and still didn’t feel any better. That was when I finally decided to try going to my friend’s chiropractor. It was such a relief when I finally started to feel better thanks to the great chiropractic care I received. That’s when I decided to start researching chiropractic care and how it could be used to treat different conditions. This blog contains the results of that research. If you’re looking for a way to feel better, you too may benefit from chiropractic healing. These articles will help you learn how.
