Diabetics Among Those Seeking Natural Personal Care Products, Especially for Feet

Diabetics Among Those Seeking Natural Personal Care Products, Especially for Feet

When it comes to foot care, it’s extremely important for diabetics to establish a daily routine and pay close attention to any changes or injures to their feet. For those looking for products that are both natural and diabetic-friendly, Xenna’s NonyX® Nail Gel and CalleX® Exfoliating Dry Heel Ointment are logical choices.

Princeton, NJ (PRWEB) October 12, 2010

According to “Life Without Bread” authors Christian B. Allan and Wolfgang Lutz, diabetes is currently the only noninfectious disease designated by the World Health Organization as an epidemic.

Carol J. Buck, CEO of Xenna Corporation (http://www. xenna. com), a distributor of natural, diabetic-friendly foot care products says, "We know that diabetics are being encouraged to take charge of educating themselves about their own health issues. This is good news, since it’s estimated that more than 15 million Americans have type 2 diabetes.

Buck says, “When it comes to foot care, it’s extremely important for diabetics to establish a daily routine and pay close attention to any changes or injures to their feet. For those looking for products that are both natural and diabetic-friendly, Xenna’s NonyX® Nail Gel and CalleX® Exfoliating Dry Heel Ointment are logical choices.”

Used by podiatrists since 2001, NonyX Nail Gel was rated as a “top niche brand” by Drug Store News in 2010. Xenna Corporation was also a recipient of the TOP 50 Research Facilities Award in 2006.

Care of toenails can be done using Xenna’s natural toenail gel. Sold in pharmacies and the foot care section of national drug, grocery and mass retail chains, NonyX Gel (pronounced “Non-X”) breaks down and removes keratin debris – the discolored or yellow granular substance under toenails that makes them so unattractive.

Applied daily, NonyX Gel results in improved nail color and clarity within 5 to 9 months as keratin debris is exfoliated. Once keratin debris is removed, continued use of NonyX Gel then keeps nails clear and healthy-looking. NonyX is on Facebook at http://www. facebook. com/pages/Nonyx-Nail-Gel/126217594112519?ref=ts.

“While NonyX Nail Gel is for anyone with unsightly toenails, whether diabetic or not, NonyX Gel is one of the few foot care brands that is both natural and also available in the footcare sections of large retailers around the country, including Walmart, Walgreens, CVS, Rite Aid, HEB, Publix, Harris Teeter and many others, says Buck.

Dry, cracked feet are also a common condition of diabetics. Xenna’s acid-free CalleX Ointment softens and exfoliates dry, cracked feet using natural, fast-acting enzymes. Applied twice daily without the need for scraping (a particularly bad idea for diabetics), feet are smooth and soft in 2 to 4 weeks.

Fragranced with peppermint oil, CalleX Ointment also keeps foot odor at bay and is free of potentially irritating urea, salicylic acid, parabens, lanolin and colorants. CalleX is on Facebook at http://www. facebook. com/pages/Callex-Exfoliating-Ointment/177971592235302?ref=ts.

Ms. Buck, the inventor of NonyX Nail Gel and CalleX Ointment advises the making of good foot care habits and hygiene: “Especially for diabetics, keeping feet looking great requires a commitment to following good foot hygiene practices, examining your feet on a regular basis, and using products which are diabetic-friendly.”
