Clinical Study Reports Significant Improvement for Discolored Toenails

Topical Gel Improves Nail Appearance by Exfoliating Yellowing Keratin Debris Buildup Under Nails

Princeton, NJ December 11, 2004 -- Xenna Corporation announced today the results of a 3-month extension study which confirm its natural, ethanoic-acid based NonyX Nail Gel significantly improves toenail color and clarity by exfoliating yellowing keratin debris from under the nail.

The whitish, granular buildup called keratin debris is the source of most toenail and fingernail discoloration. It can build up under nails over time and appear white, yellow or brown, causing nails to look discolored. Patented NonyX Nail Gel is a topical gel marketed as a natural exfoliant of keratin debris for use on toenails and fingernails.

The 12-month, single-center, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel-design, usage study reported a significant difference between the ethanoic acid gel and placebo gel in terms of nail clarity and color, as well as amount of nail containing keratin debris. After 12 months of twice daily application, 100% of subjects using NonyX Gel showed improved primary toenail color/clarity and a reduction in the amount of debris, versus placebo scores of 44% and 33% respectively. Significant improvement in nail appearance (translucency, color) occurred at month 5 on small nails and at month 9 on the primary toenail, compared to placebo.

NonyX Gel is among a growing number of natural products for personal care. According to Dr. Arnold Ravick, a podiatrist and spokesman for the American Podiatric Medical Association, "Baby-boomers, especially men, have become more conscious of their appearance and they want more natural products." Dr. Bret Ribotsky of Boca Raton, FL, past president of the American College of Foot and Ankle Orthopedics and Medicine, recommends NonyX Gel to clear discolored nails by softening keratin debris and allowing it to be removed from under the nail, either manually or by breaking down on its own.

NonyX Nail gel is sold in the footcare section of Rite Aid, Walgreens, Longs, most Medicine Shoppe pharmacies as well as independent drugstores. It is also available through podiatrists and online at www.drugstore.com and www.xenna.com.

Xenna Corporation is a privately-held company which develops and distributes natural, personal care products for skin, hair and nails. In addition to NonyX Nail Gel, Xenna distributes Callex Callus Ointment, a plant-based exfoliant for calluses and dry, cracked heels, Curlaway Curl Relaxer for semi-permanent curl relaxation, 183 Topical Solution for Thin and Fine Hair, an MSM-rich scalp stimulant, 183 Follicle Shampoo for thin and fine hair containing patented L-TOC, and all natural Ian Charles Volumizing Gel for hair that is flat or hard to manage.
