VITAMIN
B-17 AND SICKLE CELL ANEMIA
The successful use
of cyanates in the control of sickle cell crisis has been indicated clinically
and experimentally. Thiocyanate, an intermediate product of the metabolism
of Vitamin B-17 is thought to be the active component. The recommended daily
supplementation of Vitamin B-17 is 50 to 100 mg for small children and 250
to 500 mg per day for the adult sickler.
