Using corn silk for medicinal applications has shown a super low occurrence of mild side effects. The rare instances reported include:
- Lowered Potassium. Those who already have decreased blood potassium levels may have some difficulties.
- Allergic Reaction. Skin rash, stomach cramps, tightness in the throat, and dizziness can occur in cases of allergies to corn or corn products.
- Low Blood Sugar. Because corn silk naturally lowers blood sugar levels, please consult with a physician before taking the supplement if you already have issues with low blood sugar.
- Potential Adverse Combinations. Though rare, there is the possibility of adverse reactions when taken in combination with certain medications. If you are taking any prescription medications or other herbal supplements, consult with a healthcare provider before adding corn silk to your regimen. He or she can work with you to catalog your medications and see how they might interact with a supplement. *
