| | Super Bowl Athletes Prepare for Game Day by Getting Feet and Hands in Shape Written by Dana Lawrence
Callused, rough feet and hands are a common problem for professional and amateur athletes alike. When their feet and hands are not in top shape, it’s a silent factor that hurts a player's game. Carol J. Buck, CEO of Xenna Corporation, says, "A number of top professional football and basketball teams have used our products to keep their feet and hands in top condition, including New York Jets, Green Bay Packers, Indianapolis Colts, Miami Dolphins, San Antonio Spurs and Orlando Magic." Xenna Corporation offers patented, natural solutions for discolored, thickened toenails, callused feet and hands and dry cracked heels. Late last year their NonyX® Nail Gel was nominated by a professional football player to for inclusion in FX Sport's National Football League and National Baseball League Alumni Guide and Yearbook. Only products personally endorsed by a player are permitted to appear in these publications. Patented NonyX Nail Gel is an ethanoic acid topical that rids toenails of their yellow or dark discoloration by exfoliating source of problem - keratin debris buildup under nail. Dark or yellow keratin debris can build up under nails over time, causing them to lose their clear, healthy-looking appearance. A recent clinical study confirmed NonyX Nail Gel significantly improves toenail color and clarity by exfoliating yellowing keratin debris from under nail, and is safe for use by diabetics. A 4-oz bottle is a three month supply.
