The silky tassel inside the corn husk is not often considered a food, but it is highly valued in herbology as a urinary system support. Corn is indigenous to central America but is now widely cultivated elsewhere. After the corn plant has shed its pollen, the silk is gathered, dried and powdered for various uses. It contains silicon, B vitamins, PABA and moderate amounts of iron, zinc, potassium, calcium, magnesium and phosphorus. Its key constituents are maizenic acid, fixed oil, resin and mucilage. Cornsilk is very popular in Chinese herbology and is an example of one of the many valuable sources of nutrition that go overlooked or are considered waste by the general population. Nature's Sunshine knows better! Each capsule contains 400 mg cornsilk.

Take two capsules with a meal three times daily.
