MDR (minimum daily requirement):
Vitamin B17 is not accepted officially as a vitamin, and, thus, no need in human nutrition has been established. Therapeutic doses are determined by doctors who use it in cancer treatment. If apricot and other fruit pits are included in the diet for preventive purposes they should be used only in small amounts, only a few pits a day. It is considered that if the diet contains an abundance of whole seeds, grains, nuts, beans and other foods mentioned above, deficiency of this factor will be unlikely.
