What is Corn Silk Extract?

Corn Silk refers to the long, shiny, thread-like strands that grow underneath the husks of an ear of corn. Botanically, they are the stigmas, the part of the female flower that captures pollen.

Corn Silk Extract is a concentrated form of these stigmas, typically produced by steeping the dried silks in a solvent (like water or alcohol) to draw out their bioactive compounds. This extract can then be used in liquid tinctures, capsules, or dried into a powder.

Corn Silk Extract has a long history of use in traditional medicine systems, including Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Native American folk medicine, primarily as a diuretic and urinary tract remedy.
