TENDER CORP.’S HEALTHIFEET™ PROVIDES CONSUMERS WITH SUSTAINED RELIEF FROM
FOOT DISCOMFORT

OVER THE COUNTER MOISTURIZING CREAM IDEAL FOR PEOPLE WITH DIABETES,
NEUROPATHY OR JUST PLAIN COLD FEET 

 

LITTLETON, N.H. (February 19th, 2009) – Tender Corp., a leading manufacturer
of over-the-counter topical cream and first aid products designed to enhance
consumers’ quality of life, today announced the release of HealthiFeet™. 

 

A topical moisturizing cream clinically proven to relieve foot discomfort,
HealthiFeet™ contains L-Arginine, a naturally occurring amino acid which the
body uses to regulate circulation. The L-Arginine in HealthiFeet™ is
transported through the skin transdermally by a patented delivery system,
restoring normal temperatures to cold feet and keeping them warm and
healthy. Developed by SST Inc., the patented penetrating formula of
HealthiFeetä naturally absorbs through your skin, exactly where you need it.

 

“Our feet mirror our overall health,” says Tender president Jennifer Cusick.
“Conditions such as nerve and circulatory disorders,” she continued, “often
show their first symptoms in the feet. With three out of four Americans
experiencing serious foot problems at some point in their lives, proper foot
care becomes critical to maintaining a healthy, balanced lifestyle. Regular
use of HealthiFeet Foot Cream is essential to maintaining healthy feet.”

 

Proper foot care is especially important for people with neuropathy or
diabetes. Poor circulation in the feet of diabetics results in 82,000 foot
amputations each year1.  However, comprehensive foot care programs have been
shown to reduce amputations by 50%.2 

 

When used as directed, the podiatrist-recommended HealthiFeet™ has been
clinically proven to increase blood flow by 33% - 35% and foot temperature
by five to eight degrees.3 As such, HealthiFeet™ also provides a much-needed
solution for people who suffer with everyday cold feet. 

 

HOW TO APPLY HEALTHIFEET™

 

Simply rub HealthiFeet™ Foot Cream into the feet for five minutes, liberally
covering the entire foot, top and bottom. Warmth can be experienced in less
than ten minutes and last for several hours. The warmth will occur gradually
and is an indication that HealthiFeet™ is working to restore normal
temperatures to your feet. Apply the cream twice per day, morning and
evening, for seven days. After seven days, apply once per day to maintain
soft, healthy feet. 

 

HealthiFeet™ comes in 1.8 OZ (MSRP$9.99) and 4 OZ (MSRP$19.99) tubes.
HealthiFeet™ will be available nationally at Wal-Mart beginning in March
2009.
