Natures SuperFood – Vitamin B17

Nature is our teacher | EvoLove Store

Everything the body needs to thrive is already provided by nature. 

Nature has its own system for helping the body eliminate abnormal and dying cells. The key to harnessing this system is a species-appropriate, diverse diet, rich in foods that include bitters. In the wild, carnivores fed on herbivores that grazed on open lands filled with grasses rich in Vitamin B17. Nature’s medicine can be found in trees, plants, fruits, vegetables, leaves, roots, nuts, and seeds. Vitamin B17, also known as amygdalin, is present in many foods like mung beans, loquat leaves, cassava, various fruit pits, carrots, celery, and numerous beans. Apricot seeds—tiny treasures with remarkable health benefits – are particularly high in Vitamin B17.

Our bodies, and those of our pets, are designed with intelligent systems and innate wisdom. This means we all have built-in mechanisms created to combat abnormal cells. However, because our diets have shifted away from what we once consumed, we no longer intake the natural products essential for these mechanisms to function optimally.

Biomimicry, a new field of biology, involves studying and mimicking the strategies, processes, and ecosystems that nature uses to solve complex problems. Companies are now applying these principles to address issues created by modern society, which have negatively impacted both people and the planet. Instead of attempting to outdo the creator, man should learn from what nature has provided.

All the answers we need to survive and thrive are found in nature.
Pawsome Benefits Of Apricot Seeds:

C#ncer Disruptor: The Power of B17 – Found abundantly in apricot seeds, B17 has been shown to target and neutralize abnormal cells. The theory is that when B17 encounters an enzyme found predominantly in c#ncer cells, it breaks down into compounds that may help destroy these cells while leaving healthy cells unharmed. This makes B17 a potential natural ally in supporting your pet’s body in warding off c#ncer.

Digestive Health – A healthy gut is the foundation to a strong immune system and overall well-being. Apricot seeds are rich in fiber, helping to maintain your pet’s digestive harmony. This natural fiber keeps everything moving smoothly, reducing gas, bloating, and helping prevent common digestive issues like constipation.

Heart-Healthy Hero – Nature’s solution to heart health may include apricot seeds as they are rich in thiamine (Vitamin B1) and Omega-3 fatty acids. These nutrients may help lower blood pressure, boost circulation, and support a strong, healthy heart. 

Inflammation and Arthritis Avenger – Apricot seeds are nature’s answer to inflammation and arthritis. Thanks to their anti-inflammatory properties, these seeds help neutralize acids and toxins in your pet’s body. Studies suggest that they may alleviate symptoms of arthritis, reducing discomfort and improving mobility.

Eye-Health Enhancer – Zinc, a vital mineral found in apricot seeds, plays a crucial role in maintaining eye health. Zinc helps transport Vitamin A to the retina which is essential for clear vision. Regular intake may support your pet’s eye health, keeping their vision sharp.

Liver Love – The liver is one of the major organs of elimination and is pivotal for a body to thrive.  The Vitamin B17 in apricot seeds is linked to better liver function, potentially helping to combat conditions like autoimmune hepatitis by encouraging healthy T-cell growth and reducing inflammation.

Immune System Supercharger – Apricot seeds are renowned for their immune-boosting properties, helping your pet’s body fight off harmful invaders and stay resilient against sickness.

Mind Matters – Omega-3 fatty acids in apricot seeds offer natural support for your pet’s mental well-being. These essential nutrients may help stabilize mood, prevent cognitive decline, and promote overall mental health—keeping your pet’s mind as sharp as ever.

Bone-Strength Builder – Calcium is crucial for strong bones. Apricot seeds provide a natural source of this mineral, helping to maintain your pet’s bone density.  

Healthy Skin – Apricot seed oil is rich in fatty acids, vitamins A and vitamin E, all integral to healthy skin

Muscle Repair Master –Apricot seeds are packed with protein to support muscle repair and growth. In humans, it is well documented that obtaining adequate quality protein contributes to longevity. The same applies to our fur family!

Energy Booster – The iron and phosphorus in apricot seeds contribute to supporting oxygen-rich blood and efficient energy production.

Respiratory Relief – Used in traditional medicine for centuries, apricot seeds have been nature’s go-to for respiratory health. They act as natural expectorants, helping to clear airways and reduce symptoms of respiratory issues.

Antioxidant Protection – Phenols and alpha-tocopherol, both found in apricot seeds, are powerful antioxidants that help neutralize harmful free radicals.

By turning to nature as our teacher, we can unlock the incredible benefits of apricot seeds for our pets so they may live longer, healthier  lives filled with vitality!
