With an estimated 12,500 Americans turning 50 every single day, "boomers" are driving the demand for innovative products designed to offer a greater variety of choices in addressing all types of minor ailments and cosmetic concerns, including those related to foot care. According to the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA), three-quarters of Americans have foot problems. Minor complaints and concerns about the cosmetic appearance of feet tend to increase with age. Dr. Arnold Ravick, a podiatrist and spokesman for the APMA, says, "Baby boomers, especially men, have become more conscious of their health, and they want more natural products."

Boca Raton podiatrist Dr. Bret Ribotsky is past President of the American College of Foot and Ankle Orthopedics and Medicine. He says, "Calluses and discolored toenails are two of the most common problems, particularly in older individuals." But, "Even though older individuals are more likely to have foot problems, calluses and yellow or discolored toenails can be an issue at any age."

Dr. Ribotsky recommends NonyX® Nail Gel from Xenna Corporation for yellow, discolored toenails, which he says he uses to clean nails "from the outside in." NonyX Gel exfoliates the dark, yellow or thick granular material called keratin debris, which can build up under nails over time, making them unattractive.

C. J. Buck, CEO of Xenna, says, "NonyX Gel is a topical, easy-to-use gel that breaks down and removes keratin debris - the discolored, yellow or thick granular buildup under nails which is the actual source of nail discoloration. It softens keratin debris using natural ethanoic acid, and permits it to be scraped out from under the nail after about four weeks. Once keratin debris is removed, NonyX Gel keeps nails looking clear and attractive with regular use."

NonyX Gel is also safe for diabetic use. Dr. Ribotsky says "Using NonyX is like brushing your teeth; it's a cleanser for toenails."

A recent clinical study confirmed NonyX Nail Gel significantly improves toenail color and clarity by exfoliating yellowing keratin debris from under the nail.

Xenna's acid-free Callex® Callus Ointment uses natural, fast-acting enzymes to exfoliate, thin and soften calluses and dry, cracked heels. According to podiatrist Dr. David Tsui, "Callex Ointment works very well. I have used it on my patients and on myself. You see a real difference in one week." A gentle rubbing action with a wet, soapy washcloth is sufficient to gradually exfoliate callus and dry, cracked heels, as well as on hands and other hardened skin areas.

Dr. Jack Morgan, a Monterey Park, California podiatrist, says, "Among the many products for dry feet, only Callex Ointment contains natural enzymes, which have proven to be remarkably effective for softening and thinning calluses, exfoliating dry cracked heels and moisturizing dry, scaling skin. Whether young or old, my patients care very much about the cosmetic appearance of their feet."

NonyX Nail Gel can be purchased in the footcare section of Walgreens, Rite Aid, Longs, Drug Emporium, Brooks and most Medicine Shoppe drugstores. You’ll also find it at HEB and Brookshire grocery stores, through podiatric physicians, independent pharmacies and online at www.drugstore.com and www.xenna.com.
