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."

Used by podiatrists, diabetic-friendly NonyX Nail Gel 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.

Mr. Gunsel says the pharmacists at Hopewell are also recommending Xenna's CalleX® Dry Heel Ointment for feet that have thickened areas or dry, cracked heels. Newly patented, CalleX Ointment is acid-free and diabetic-friendly. CalleX Ointment moisturizes dry, rough or flaky skin and contains natural enzymes that exfoliate and thin thickened areas, while leaving normal skin completely unaffected.

NonyX Nail Gel, also money-back guaranteed, can be purchased in the FOOT CARE section of Walgreens, Rite Aid, CVS, Wal-Mart, Meijer, TARGET, Snyders, Longs, Duane Reade, ShopKo, Kerr Drug, Giant Eagle, HEB, Bruno's, Hannaford, many other grocery stores and most Medicine Shoppe pharmacies.
