Health or Nutrition Benefit Notes:
Apricot seeds (Prunus armeniaca) are rich in amygdalin (also known as vitamin B17), a natural compound studied for its immune and antioxidant benefits. This oatmeal combines fiber-rich oats, healthy fats, and polyphenol-rich cinnamon to support balanced blood sugar, metabolism, and digestive health. Pumpkin seeds add zinc for immune defense and hormone balance. Natural almond butter provides heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, vitamin E, and magnesium while enhancing the bioavailability of the apricot seed powder, helping your body better absorb and utilize its beneficial compounds.
