To further diversify its product portfolio, Nikon Corp. introduced “Nikzon” – a new advanced hemorrhoidal cream, marking a strategic expansion into pharmaceutical relief solutions.

Here are some pictures of the packaging submitted anonymously by YouTube influencers who could not wait to get their hands on the new product and have reported excellent results after using it (unfortunately, many of the leaked pictures I received are NSFW):

The new Nikzon hemorrhoidal cream is now available for sale at leading retailers such as Amazon, with prices starting at $5.94:

Anyway you look at it, it’s still a Nikon:

The name “Nikzon” is based on the legendary “Nikon Z” mirrorless cameras.

Nikon also has an introductory offer for Nikzon + Charmin Ultra Soft “Smooth Tear” toilet paper for a complete hemorrhoid treatment/solution:

More Nikon Z5II camera rumors (see my previous post for the specifications):

The upcoming Nikon Z5II camera is rumored to have a dedicated Picture Control button on the top plate, similar to Fujifilm (see above image).
Pricing will be a little bit higher than Z5 (previously reported here, the Nikon Z5 is currently selling for $996 after a $400 rebate).
Nikon has scheduled events for April 2-3, but as usual, it is still not certain whether this is the official camera announcement or the internal presentation to the press and the influencers. If the official Z5II announcement doesn’t happen this week, it will most likely be next week.
