Efficacy and function

The extract of amygdalin contains 3% amygdalin, which is decomposed by enzymes to form hydrocyanic acid. The hydrocyanic acid is toxic, but a small amount of it has a sedative effect on the respiratory center. Therefore, the literature records that it has the effect of relieving cough and asthma, and has the effect of killing typhoid bacillus and other fungi.

In recent years, scientific research at home and abroad has proved that hydrocyanic acid has anti-cancer effect, which is really good for human health.
