Pharmacists Say Consumers Seek Advice, Recommendations for Natural Products: NonyX® Nail Gel Touted a Favorite in Foot Care
The trend toward natural alternatives in everything from toothpaste to foot care is one that pharmacists are striving to keep up with. Highly educated baby boomers with above-average incomes comprise the primary market for naturals.
Princeton, NJ (PRWEB) February b15, 2005 -- Driven largely by baby boomers,
the trend toward natural alternatives in everything from toothpaste to foot care
is one that pharmacists are striving to keep up with. Highly educated baby
boomers with above-average incomes comprise the primary market for
naturals.
According to Randy Gunsel, Certified Nutritional Consultant
with Hopewell Pharmacy in central New Jersey, the trend is expanding to include
a broader demographic range. He says, "We've noticed a significant increase in
interest. It's hard to pick up a magazine or newspaper without seeing an article
about the benefits of nutritional supplements, as well as many other types of
products that contain natural ingredients."
Hopewell is a compounding
pharmacy; one where the pharmacists actually make individualized prescriptions
in their own lab. Independent compounding pharmacies like Hopewell combine what
Mr. Gunsel describes as "the best of both worlds" - both orthodox and
alternative approaches to wellness. At Hopewell, all compounding is done on a
per prescription basis, and pharmacists use ingredients derived from plants,
rather than animals.
He says, "When it comes to natural foot care
products, NonyX Nail Gel has become a favorite for us because of the feedback
we've gotten from customers. They've actually come in and thanked us for
recommending it."
Podiatrists also recommend NonyX Nail Gel, which rids
nails of their yellow or dark discoloration by exfoliating the source of the
problem - keratin debris buildup under the nail. Dark, yellow or thick keratin
debris can build up under nails over time, causing them to lose their clear,
healthy-looking appearance. Patented NonyX Gel softens, breaks down and then
clears out this unattractive keratin debris using natural ethanoic acid. NonyX
Gel is also safe for diabetic use.
A recent clinical study confirmed
NonyX Nail Gel significantly improves toenail color and clarity by exfoliating
yellowing keratin debris from under the nail, and is safe for use by diabetics.

Mr.
Gunsel says the pharmacists at Hopewell are also recommending Xenna's Callex®
Ointment for calluses and dry, cracked heels. Newly patented Callex has been
shown in consumer studies to significantly reduce callus, dry, flaking skin and
cracking on soles and heels within 15 to 30 days, and is safe for diabetic use.
Acid-free Callex moisturizes dry, rough or flaky skin and contains natural plant
enzymes that exfoliate and thin callused areas, while leaving normal skin
completely unaffected.
NonyX Nail Gel can be purchased in the footcare
section of Walgreens, Rite Aid, Longs, Drug Emporium and most Medicine Shoppe
drugstores. It is also available from podiatric physicians, independent
pharmacies such as Hopewell (visit them online at www.hopewellrx.com ), and
online at www.drugstore.com
and www.xenna.com.
Callex
Ointment is now available in the footcare section at Longs Drugs, from podiatric
physicians and online at www.hopewellrx.com, www.drugstore.com and www.xenna.com.
