It is a well-known fact that medicines are poisons taken in small doses. Maybe the FDA banned the advertised product because it might be taken in larger doses than is good for you. On the other hand, HCN has long been known to be present in apple pips, etc AFAIK, but that doesn't mean that apples should be banned!
The danger would be from vitamin extracts from fruit, because then the quantities ingested can be way too high if not carefully controlled.
