Cornsilk Tablets
Many are unaware of the benefits of cornsilk tablets so let's discuss just what is cornsilk. Cornsilk is an herb that is grown around the world. It's been used for centuries by Native Americans as well as Europeans. In Chinese medicine, cornsilk is a popular herbal medicine intervention used to eliminate edema -- the accumulation of serous fluid in tissue spaces or body cavities as well as other men-related health issues including prostate issues, which we'll explore in this article.
Cornsilk gets its name as cornsilk tablets are made from the extract made from the stigmas, which are the yellow strands that adhere to corn found in the husk.
Information on Cornsilk
Benefits of Cornsilk
Cornsilk has been used as an herbal agent dating back to antiquity for many conditions, i.e., minimizing edema (water retention), gout, cystitis, lowering blood pressure, even helping rheumatism symptoms. Its chief claim to fame is its potent antiprostatitis capability. Helping and remedying urinary problems seem its forte.
It's a mild diuretic, tonic, urinary demulcent (soothing or softening agent), and possesses anti-inflammatory properties. It's even been used in the treatment of gonorrhea. French herbalists use it to thin bile as well as to promote bile flow. Chinese herbal medicine practitioners do this as well. To put it simply, cornsilk is tremendous for men with prostate problems.
Prostate problems include, frequent urination, pain while urinating, and prostate swelling. Other male urinary-related problems include swelling and/or inflammation of the urethra -- cornsilk tablets help resolve that as well.
My Opinion on Cornsilk & Cornsilk Tablets
Cornsilk tablets can be beneficial to one's health as a diuretic, in promoting prostate health by combating prostatitis or BPH. Cornsilk seems to be a powerful remedy for problems with the urinary system. It's even used for renal problems with children as well as for the treatment of cystitis, urethritis, and of course prostatitis. It's even been used in the treatment of gonorrhea. French herbalists use it to thin bile as well as to promote bile flow -- Chinese herbal medicine confirms this.
Its chief benefit is certainly for promoting prostate health, therefore it is a valuable aid for men 35 and older. When used with other potent nutrients that are shown in clinical studies to promote prostate health
Cornsilk Tablets PrecautionsCornsilk appears to be a very, very safe herb. There is scanty research information on cornsilk (and cornsilk tablets) but there is hardly any anecdotal info as to cornsilk usage problems.
Choosing Good CornsilkWhen choosing cornsilk tablets as a supplement, look for the following three things:
- Ideally, your cornsilk tablets supplement should also have lycopene and beta sitosterol. These two substances are very powerful in preserving and assisting prostate and urinary health. They work together to form a very potent, synergistic compounds. Saw Palmetto has long been used for prostate health but beta sitosterol is actually thousands of times more potent. When used with cornsilk, it is even more powerful.
- Get only herbal standardized cornsilk extracts. This preserves the highest potency of the active ingredients or compounds from which the cornsilk benefits are derived. They should also be manufactured by GMP compliant facilities to preserve pharmaceutical grade quality.
- Ideally, make sure the supplement does not contain any fillers or additives such as sucrose (sugar), starch, gluten, silica (sand) or any other artificial colors, dyes, or flavors.
- Ensure the supplement manufacturer has a Certificate of Analysis (COA) on file for review by you the customer thus confirming the potency of the herbal ingredients listed on the label.
Cornsilk Tablets Product
One company in New Zealand I discovered in my research (thanks to my doctor friend) has a multivitamin supplement product that has not only cornsilk extract, but beta sitosterol, and lycopene as well. Their product also meets all the above criteria in the preceding section. Their male-specific multivitamin product is NOT a prostate specific product. There are versions specifically for men, women, and a generic unisex version.
All contain over 70 nutrients including but not limited to herbal extracts, enzymes, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, trace nutrients, etc. It is a complete supplement.
