How PodiaDerm™ Foot Gel Works
PodiaDerm™ Foot
Gel is the ONLY foot care product that provides the consumer with
a triple action benefit:
- Improves circulation in the legs and feet
- Softens dry, scaly, or calloused feet
- Relieves pain in the legs and feet
PodiaDerm™ Foot Gel is a one of kind formula consisting of a combination
of three natural ingredients: arginine, capsaicin, and urea. Each key
ingredient in PodiaDerm™ has a specific purpose:
Arginine for Circulation
Arginine, a
naturally occurring amino acid that is a precursor of
nitric oxide, has been shown to control blood
flow by relaxing the smooth muscle cell lining of the
blood vessels causing blood vessels to dilate. Early
studies on L-Arginine support circulation benefits.
Capsaicin for Pain Relief
Capsaicin is an alkaloid derived
from chilies. For centuries, herbalists have recommended
rubbing red pepper into sore muscles, and the active ingredient
in red pepper is capsaicin. Capsaicin interferes with the action
of Substance P, a nerve chemical that sends pain signals to the brain.
Urea for Moisturizing
Urea is an important part of
your skin's natural moisturizing system. The body uses manufactured
urea in the same way as the urea naturally found in the skin. Scientists
call urea a true “humectant” because
it is an important component of the body's Natural
Moisturizing Factor (NMF). Urea causes hard dry skin to "unpack” and
expose its water binding sites, thus enabling the cells to
absorb and retain additional moisture.
