Corn Silk

Corn silk is the fine stigma and style threads of maize (Zea mays), supplied by Nustras as a cut-and-sifted botanical and as a powder or extract. It has a long history of use in traditional herbal practice for urinary- and kidney-support and as a soothing diuretic herb, and contains flavonoids and other natural constituents.

Corn silk is formulated into urinary- and kidney-support supplements, traditional herbal teas and tinctures, diuretic and detox blends, and functional products, in capsules, tablets, powders and liquids.

The material is prepared from the Zea mays stigma as a yellow to golden-brown botanical, supplied cut-and-sifted, powdered or as a standardised extract. Identity is confirmed by organoleptic examination and TLC or HPLC, and heavy-metal, pesticide and microbial limits are supplied to specification and confirmed on each lot's certificate of analysis.

Nustras supplies corn silk in bulk commercial quantities, in food-grade bags, cartons or fibre drums, to manufacturers and formulators internationally, with a certificate of analysis, specification sheet and country-of-origin documentation on every lot. Corn silk is an accepted botanical ingredient in major markets; buyers confirm the form, botanical name and claim for their product.
