Cornsilk Tablets

First, what is cornsilk?

Cornsilk is an herb that has been grown and used for thousands of years all over the world -- North America, South America, Europe, and China.

Cornsilk tablets can be made from cornsilk extract, which comes from stigmas -- the soft, yellowish strands that adhere to corn found inside the husk.

Information on Cornsilk: How can it benefit you?

Historically, cornsilk was used as an herbal remedy for a wide range of conditions, most notably in treating urinary conditions, bladder and kidney problems. Other uses include mitigating edema, cystitis, gout, and rheumatism.

Nowadays, however, one of the most prominent uses for cornsilk is to improve the health of the male prostate, such as prostatitis. For example, it has been found to harbor anti-inflammtory properties, which may explain why it may help urethritis (inflammation of the urethra).

Prostate problems usually begin for men around the age of 40, and may manifest itself as difficulty in urinating, having to urinate frequently, or experiencing discomfort or pain while urinating.

Studies on cornsilk have shown that its anti-inflammatory properties act as a natural diuretic, which allows for the increased flow of urine with less discomfort.

Nutritional-Supplement-Info's opinion on Cornsilk (and Cornsilk tablets)

Some of the benefits ascribed to cornsilk above are speculative and anecdotal. The strongest documented benefits and clinical studies are in the area of urinary difficulties.

Therefore, we believe it holds the most promise for men who are experiencing prostate problems, such as prostatitis or BPH.

If taking cornsilk for prostate health, men should also take it in conjunction with beta sitosterol and lycopene, two very important nutrients for prostate health. The combination of all three may work synergistically, enhancing the benefits of each other.

Xtend-Life's Total Balance is a product that contains cornsilk extract, along with lycopene and beta sitosterol, and other important prostate health nutrients.

Total Balance however, is more than just a prostate health supplement. It contains almost 70 total nutrients total!
