NusaPure Apricot Extract 20:1 | equivalent to 10,000 mg | 150 Capsules

NusaPure Apricot Extract 20:1 is a concentrated fruit extract. Each capsule is equivalent to 10,000 mg of apricot fruit powder, and every bottle holds 150 veggie capsules. It is made for people who want the antioxidants and natural pigments of apricot fruit in a concentrated form, without eating large amounts of dried apricots and the sugar that comes with them. The root problem it addresses is oxidative stress: the slow build-up of free radicals driven by sugar, chronic stress, poor sleep and a diet short on colorful produce. In daily life this often shows up as tired eyes after screen time, dull skin that is slow to renew, and a general sense of being run down. This extract comes from the fruit itself, not the kernel, which is an important difference.

What Is Apricot Extract?

Apricot extract is a concentrate made from the fruit of the apricot tree (Prunus armeniaca L.), a member of the rose family. The 20:1 ratio means twenty parts of fruit powder are concentrated into one part of extract. As a result, each capsule holds 500 mg of extract, equivalent to 10,000 mg of apricot fruit powder. The fruit's orange color comes from carotenoids, chiefly beta-carotene, which the body converts into vitamin A. Apricots also contain polyphenols such as chlorogenic acid, catechins and flavonoids, the same family of compounds that gives colorful fruit its antioxidant power.

Benefits of Apricot Extract

• Antioxidant protection: Apricot carotenoids and polyphenols neutralize free radicals before they damage cell membranes and DNA, which is the root of much everyday cellular fatigue.
• Eye health: Beta-carotene converts to vitamin A, which the body uses to build the light-sensing pigment in the retina, the pigment you rely on for vision in dim light.
• Skin renewal: Vitamin A supports skin cell turnover, and carotenoids help shield skin from sun-driven oxidative stress.
• Immune barriers: Vitamin A keeps the mucosal linings of the gut and airways intact, and these linings are the body's first line of defense.
• Balanced inflammatory response: Polyphenols help calm the low-grade chronic inflammation behind many unexplained aches and much of the fatigue people live with.
• Liver support: The liver faces heavy oxidative load as it processes toxins all day, and chlorogenic acid is linked to protecting its cells during this work.
• Gut environment: Polyphenols reach the colon, where beneficial bacteria feed on them, supporting a balanced microbiome that affects both digestion and immunity.
• Blood vessel health: Antioxidants help protect the vessel lining and cholesterol from oxidation, an early step in strain on the heart and arteries.

How Apricot Extract Works in the Body

Every cell makes energy in its mitochondria, and free radicals form as a natural by-product. When free radical output is matched by antioxidant reserves, the cell stays healthy. High sugar intake, insulin resistance, chronic stress with elevated cortisol, poor sleep and smoking all push free radical production up and drain those reserves. Once the balance tips, chronic inflammation follows. This is where apricot compounds step in. Polyphenols donate an electron to neutralize a free radical. Carotenoids are fat-soluble, so they settle inside cell membranes and protect them from within.

Beta-carotene takes an extra step. As a fat-soluble pigment, it is only well absorbed when there is fat in the meal and enough bile from the gallbladder. After absorption, an enzyme in the gut wall and liver converts it to vitamin A. How efficiently this happens depends on gut, liver and thyroid health, as well as adequate zinc. People with sluggish bile flow, low thyroid function or an inflamed gut may get less from carotenoids.

Some factors improve your results. Vitamin C recharges antioxidants after they are used, so they keep working longer. Healthy fats such as olive oil, avocado and eggs open the door for carotenoid absorption. Other factors work against you: low-fat diets, medications that block fat absorption, and refined sugar, which burns through antioxidants faster than they can be replaced.

What Makes This Formula Different

The first difference is the 20:1 concentration. Each capsule delivers the equivalent of 10,000 mg of apricot fruit powder, and two capsules deliver the equivalent of 20,000 mg, an amount that is hard to get from fruit each day without excess sugar. Second, the extract comes from the fruit, not the kernel, so it is a dietary supplement drawn from a familiar food. The capsule is a cellulose veggie capsule, and the formula is vegan and Non GMO. It is not manufactured with wheat, soy, milk, egg, fish, crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts or sesame ingredients, although it is produced in a GMP facility that processes other ingredients containing these allergens. The other ingredients are minimal and familiar: rice flour, silicon dioxide and vegetable-source magnesium stearate. The product is made under strict GMP guidelines, and a bottle of 150 capsules lasts 75 days at the suggested use.

Who Is This Product For?

• People who don't eat enough colorful fruits and vegetables and want a concentrated antioxidant source.
• Anyone who spends long hours in front of screens and wants to support eye health.
• Those who care about skin renewal and radiance from the inside.
• People on a low-sugar diet who want fruit compounds without the sugar load.
• Anyone dealing with chronic stress or short sleep, both of which raise oxidative stress.
• Vegans and vegetarians looking for a clean, plant-based supplement.

How to Use

For adults, take two capsules once daily, preferably with a meal. The best choice is a meal with healthy fats such as eggs, olive oil, avocado or nuts. Carotenoids dissolve in fat and are poorly absorbed without it, and dietary fat also triggers the bile release needed for absorption. Pairing the dose with a source of vitamin C, such as leafy greens or bell peppers, adds further support. Not intended for use by persons under 18.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is apricot extract the same as apricot kernel or vitamin B17?

No. This extract is made from apricot fruit. The substance sold as vitamin B17, or amygdalin, comes from the bitter seed inside the pit. The fruit is rich in carotenoids and polyphenols, while the kernel is an entirely different material in both composition and use.

What does 20:1 mean on apricot extract?

It means twenty parts of apricot fruit powder were concentrated into one part of extract. That is why each capsule's 500 mg of extract equals 10,000 mg of fruit powder, and two capsules equal 20,000 mg.

Why take apricot extract with food?

Carotenoids, especially beta-carotene, are fat-soluble. They need dietary fat and bile from the gallbladder to be absorbed. Taking the capsules on an empty stomach wastes a large share of these compounds.

Can capsules replace eating apricots?

The capsules deliver the fruit's antioxidant plant compounds at high concentration without the fruit's sugar, but they don't provide its full fiber. They work best alongside a diet rich in colorful vegetables, quality protein and healthy fats, not as a replacement for it.
