Clinical Study Reports Significant Improvement For Discolored
Toenails.
Topical Gel Improves Nail Appearance by Exfoliating Yellowing
Keratin Debris Buildup Under Nails.
Princeton,
NJ - December 7, 2004 -- Xenna Corporation announced
today the results of a 3-month extension study which confirm
its natural, ethanoic-acid based NonyX Nail Gel significantly
improves toenail color and clarity by exfoliating yellowing
keratin debris from under the nail.
The whitish, granular buildup called keratin debris is the
source of most toenail and fingernail discoloration. It
can build up under nails over time and appear white, yellow
or brown, causing nails to look discolored. Patented NonyX
Nail Gel is a topical gel marketed as a natural exfoliant
of keratin debris for use on toenails and fingernails.
The 12-month, single-center, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled,
parallel-design, usage study reported a significant difference
between the ethanoic acid gel and placebo gel in terms of
nail clarity and color, as well as amount of nail containing
keratin debris. After 12 months of twice daily application,
100% of subjects using NonyX Gel showed improved primary
toenail color/clarity and a reduction in the amount of debris,
versus placebo scores of 44% and 33% respectively. Significant
improvement in nail appearance (translucency, color) occurred
at month 5 on small nails and at month 9 on the primary
toenail, compared to placebo.
NonyX Gel is among a growing number of natural products
for personal care. According to Dr. Arnold Ravick, a podiatrist
and spokesman for the American Podiatric Medical Association,
"Baby-boomers, especially men, have become more conscious
of their appearance and they want more natural products."
NonyX Nail gel is sold in the footcare section of Rite Aid,
Walgreens, Longs, most Medicine Shoppe pharmacies as well
as independent drugstores. It is also available through
podiatrists and online at www.drugstore.com
and www.xenna.com.
