Hands and Feet: Tools of the Athlete's Trade

Xenna Corporation Offers Innovative Solutions for Yellowed, Discolored Nails and Callused, Cracked Feet and Hands

Princeton, NJ, October 11, 2003 -- Athletes place extraordinary demands on their feet and hands. Nails in particular take a beating over time, and may become thick or turn shades of yellow and brown, while calluses can wreak havoc with both hands and feet. Regardless of the sport, no athlete needs distractions such as these to interfere with their game. Xenna Corporation (www.xenna.com) has developed NonyX® Nail Gel and CalleX® Callus Ointment to address the personal care needs of athletes and others with active lifestyles.

NonyX® Nail Gel is a patented, topical gel which exfoliates keratin debris. Keratin debris can build up under the nail over time, making once clear, healthy-looking nails appear yellow or discolored. NonyX Gel is an all natural exfoliant of this debris; regular use results in clear, healthy-looking nails.

NonyX Gel is being recommended and used by podiatrists and professional athletes alike. Ted Arzonico, Head Athletic Trainer of the Orlando Magic Basketball Team says: "I was skeptical in the beginning, but stuck with it, using NonyX Gel twice daily and sometimes three times after workouts in the pool. I used it on one toenail that now looks better than ever. Basketball players are leery of new products, but when they see my results, it's a different story. My nail looks really good."

Callex

Another common problem for athletes is calluses. New CalleX® Callus Ointment is tough on calluses, gentle on skin. CalleX's urea-free, all natural formulation uses an endoprotease derived from plants to thin and soften callus. Of particular benefit to athletes, CalleX Ointment gently exfoliates callus tissue, while normal skin is unaffected and the amount of callus removed is up to the user. With CalleX, a fine, undetectable layer of callus can be maintained to cushion and protect underlying tissue and bone. According to David Tsui, DPM, "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 hands and other hardened skin areas.

Both NonyX Gel and CalleX Ointment are ideal items for sporting goods retailers. For more information, call toll free: 1-800-368-6003 or 609-921-1101.
