How do you get stronger nails?

Question

My nails are falling apart! I have the best polishes, take vitimans, and eat healthy. So....whats the deal? they chip and break all the time. Please help!

Answer 1

you could try and leave them not torching and they will be healty. Take a calcium supplement and a Gelatin supplement according to directions. Keep your nails manicured regularly, and apply nail hardener

Answer 2

First you should be in good health. Your nails and hair are the first to show that you are not so well. If you eat right then the next step is to manicure your nails at least once a week. Everyday cream twice a day. Must be kept moist. Use a nail hardener. If you don't moisturize your nails, it will chip and break because of dryness. You have to do everything together, one doesn't go without the other. Like you cannot tell me I eat well and you don't moisturise your nails. Infact, your entire hands should be moisturised at least twice a day. Some people need to do more than others. I don't have to do much to have beautiful nails although I am very natural. I do not use nail polish.

When I went for a physical check up recently, the doctor said that he was amazed that my nail were natural. Its only then that I realized when he saw me a year ago I had just cut it all short. Sometimes I do that. It takes only two weeks to grow back. My hair grows quickly too. Make sure that you have enough calcium in your diet.

Answer 3

Fingernails are just another type of skin, but not all nails are created equal. The nails protect the nerve-rich fingertips and tips of the toes from injury. Nails are a substructure of the outer layer of the skin and are composed mainly of keratin, a type of protein. Nails grow at the rate of about 0.05 to 1.2 millimeters per week. The nail bed is the skin on the top of which the nail grows. Healthy nail beds are pink to dark pink, which show a rich blood supply.



Some common nail problems



Brittle Nails

These often occur from iron deficiency, circulation problems and other problems of the body's endocrine system.



Discoloration

Cigarettes, hair dyes and even tints sometimes discolor the nails.



Dry nails

Dry skin gets worse in winter or in colder-weather months and so does the condition of some nails. Some get brittle, which is why you have to be careful about soaking them in water with chlorine, soap or detergents. Rubber gloves and warm gloves worn outside in cold weather can help. White spots. Don't believe what you hear. You probably don't have a mineral or calcium deficiency. White spots usually develop because you've hit your nails against something.



Greenish Nails

Greenish nails are usually a result of a localized fungal infection. If you find greenish nails under your nail polish, consult your health care provider as there are treatments for this kind of fungal infection





Some tips for keeping nails healthy.



Use nail polish remover with caution. It can dry the nails and your cuticles. Try not to repair nail enamel every day.



Watch out for signs of nail infection, including redness, pain or pus. The nail plates are porous and dry quickly. Nail polishes waterproof the nails and cause the skin under them to stay wet longer. This makes them more open to infection.



Be careful of some nail products. Some can cause rashes on the fingers or around the eyes since buffing or filing can cause small particles to enter the air. Some of the more damaging products are in nail hardeners.



Applying artificial nails over your own is not recommended. They may look nice for a while, but they destroy the underlying nail. The chemicals and glue used are dangerous to the body, and are readily absorbed through the damaged nail and nail bed. The use of artificial nails has been known to contribute to the development of fungal infection of the fingernails

Answer 4

Biotin supplements help a lot to grown strong nails and your hair will be healthier as well.

Get regular manicures or do them yourself. Do NOT get acrylics, as another person suggested. Once you take acrylics off, your nails take awhile to get back to normal and are not usually stronger.

Revivanail is an awesome product. It's a clear polish that you put on every day for a week in between manicures. Just add a thin coat every day for a week. After a week, take it off, have a manicure and start over. It can also be applied over colored polish. It strengthens and will help your nails grow and look great. Always works for me and my nails are very thin. You can usually find this at a beauty supply. There are some similar names out there...make sure it's REVIVANAIL. In a square bottle, and usually in a black box.

Rub oil on your nails and cuticles (and hands if you wish) every night...during the day, too if you can. Keep your cuticles healthy and pushed back gently.

If all else fails, see a Dr or nutritionist to see if your body might be lacking in some vitamin or mineral. You can tell a lot about a person's health by looking at their nails.

Answer 5

Take vitamins.

If worn artificial nails it actually makes the natural nail go soft because no air is getting to it. The air is what hardens the nail. Again, nails constantly covered in polish, even with bases will suffer in the long run when and if decide to grow them.

Vitamins will help, a healthy diet too, to toughen also wear gloves when washing up as detergents and hot water can cause the softening and splitting.

When file your nails, file in one direction only as this again can cause splitting of the nail.

And finally, a good hand cream to pamper them at the end of a long hard day.

Answer 6

The nutrients that are absorbed in your body are directly reflected in the appearance of your nails. Specifically vitamin b, calcium and plenty of protein are essential for healthy nails. Protect your hand and nail for harsh detergent and cleaners by wearing rubber gloves whenever you will be in the contact in such chemical. Moisturizes nails and cuticles at least once a week, preferably right before retiring for the night. Give your nails a break from polish- the more you nails allowed to breathe, THE LESS THEY WILL CHIP AND BREAK. Try applying hardening polish before you apply regular polish. This way, the polish less damaging to your nail. Biting your nails is not only a nasty habit to have- it makes you nails look horrible. People say that you can tell a lot about a person by their nails: Remember this and remember to take of your nails!

Answer 7

Don't use nail polish at all. They are all bad for you, and I think that includes the nail hardeners too. Rub vaseline or creams into them regularly as well as your hands. This will keep your hands looking good over the years too, as you age. Give yourself a manicure or have them done. Buff your nails with those pads that polish your nails a shiny pink naturally.



I garden extensively and use my hands for all kinds of abrasive activities. I was prevented from gardening for about three months during the full garden season and actually did nothing at all with my hands. My nails were very, very strong for months afterwards, even when I resumed gardening. If you have some kind of hobby or job, where you use your fingertips a lot, you can stop doing that or wear protective gloves. My hands and nails would be much improved if I wore proper gloves all the time. Of course, you can not live for good nails alone.

Answer 8

Acrylic is NOT THE ANSWER when you use it you have to go to the nail shop every two weeks and when they use the drill on your nails it breaks down your nail bed b/c it takes layers off your nails. Use Sally Henson's Hard as nails as earlier suggested and take a multivitamin EVERYDAY. The directions are on the bottle and I believe they suggest you use a coat for 3-4 days then use remover to take it off and repeat the process. Also, you can use this stuff call NailTek (I believe that is how to spell it), but go to a beauty Supply Store and they should know what you are talking about. Women need vitamins any way. Also, be sure your eat a healthy diet.



And when you take your acryllic off you have to wait MONTHS before you start to see the new nail getting stronger. It took time to damage them and it takes time to repair them!



Good Luck!!

Answer 9

I know you have a lot of answers to this question and I see people telling you to take vitamins or put garlic on your nails....If you don't want to do all that all you have to do is keep the insides of your nails clean. If you have a cracked nail NEVER use a fingernail clipper. This damages your whole nail completely and will cause your nails to grow slower. Always file your nails. In the summer your nails are moist because of the humidity. You can always keep them polished with clear nail polish. In the winter you may want to keep your nails polished all the time. Keeping lotion on your nails also keeps your nails from drying and breaking. File your nails in the shape you want them to grow. When you file them move the file back and forth and under your nail. I know that sounds weird but that's damaged nail fibers under your original nails that you don't want. Rinse off your nails and immediately polish them. If you do this for a few weeks you'll see good results.

Answer 11

Go to a good nail salon and buy a product called Solar Oil. This is the finest oil for nails. Concering Salons. NEVER go to a Salon where the tech wear masks. There a two types of Acrylic for nails. Nail Grade and Dental Grade. Believe it or not Dental Grade is bad. (when dentists use they add stuff that makes it safe.) The good stuff costs 3 to 4 times more due to it's purity. Dental grade is bad for nails and can even be dangerous. That why they wear the masks. A owner of a slon has 2 choices. Pure Acrylic requires no mask and costs a fortune (it's worth it though) or buy the garbage and a few bucks for masks.

Answer 12

Chipping nails are a sign of brittleness. Continue with the vitamins but lay off the polish for a while. That, and the acetone based removers you will use can damage the nails. Be careful with your cuticles when manicuring. Eat well and ensure a balanced diet with fresh fruit, vegetables and fish but, most importantly, eat and drink plenty of calcium bearing foods, milk, butter and cheese.

Answer 13

I know this sounds rediculas especially from a guy, but,I used to work in a welding shop . An there was these two guys .Both welders. Well with there job ment picking up washers or rings to be welded ,an thats impossible with welding gloves on, because there about an 1/8 inch thick ruff leather. So they grew there nails bye soaking them in transmission fluid.You might not like that idea so try a diffrent type of oil maby baby oil.but there nails were thick an very strong so You do the math.

Answer 14

Do you smoke? Over work? Drink too much? Under too much stress? All of these can cause the break down of your nails. Try a special nail polish that strengthens your nails. If you remove the polish, only use a nail polish remover that says- "Strengthens Nails" on it. If all of this still does not help, see a specialist.

Answer 15

Hair and nails are made from the same cells. If you have a steady diet and your nails are still falling apart it could be a physical manifistation of stress. It is better having brittle nails than losing your hair also you could have a fungi problem. If the nails are slightly yellow or miscolored that is a good indication. If you do have fungi you must go to a Dr to get the proper meds.

Answer 16

You must drink 2 glasses of milk a day. Keep them short and trim and use a hard as nails polish. Make sure you use a hand a nail creme. Wear rubber gloves when doing dishes or anything with chemicals..After a couple of weeks you'll see the difference. After about 6-8 weeks keep them filed and let them grow. make sure you put hard nail polish on every day and on the 3rd day remove it and start again.

Answer 17

The best thing I've found for weak nails is Nailtique (sp). You can get at CVS and many manicure shops. If you're nails are really week try the #3 - use #2 when they get alittle stronger. I would use 2 coats to start and reapply once or twice aweek. Start again with clean nails every 7-10 days. I know it worked for me years ago after having weakened my nails badly from using tips and wraps. Hope this helps.

Answer 18

Boiled shrimp. Purchase a package of frozen shrimp or get a pound at the Fish and Sea food area of your supper market. Place a handful in a zip lock bag and nuke em' in the micro-wave for just 60 seconds. Allow 2 minutes cool down and nuke for another 60 seconds. They should be done. If not, cool down again and repeat till all the shrimpies are pink. Shell all but three. Enjoy with butter and garlic. The three unpeeled eat. The shell is well chewed and swallowed. The minerals in the shell will harden your nails.

Answer 19

Okay, first of all you are supposed to clean them really well, then put garlic (yes garlic, I know it stinks, but it really helps) just rub the garlic in, and leave over night. In the morning wash your hands really good to get the garlic and the smell out. Third apply nail polish remover. Just clean your nails with it. Then you will put nail hardener or just clear nail polish on them. Do this for about two to three times a week and you should be okay. oh and after they grow the first time cut them and let them grow again this time doing the garlic process and that really I mean really helps. Good Luck!!! [e-mail]

Answer 20

I have the same problems, and this may not help but I have heard it may be partly caused by stress. If the chip and break most often when you have no polish on (like mine) I can only recommend to keep at least a clear coat on all the time. I find that Sally Hanson Teflon Tough works great(as far as the clear).

Answer 21

Lay off the polish for awhile, that might help. But then again I don't use polish and I have the same problem. I can't grow them very long before they start splitting down the middle. I have these ridges on all my fingernails and I eat healthy. I'm very interested in the answers you get here. If anything works good for you let me know by e-mail. Good Luck.

Answer 22

My nails used to split across the tip and peel and my cuticles were a disaster. Every year by Good Friday they would be so dry and painful from Winter cleaning and water use that it was painful to even type. Since Easter this year, I have rubbed the nail beds every day 2x with Arnica Oil. The cuticles look great and I actually have nails. Arnica oil I get at the health foods store, but you can get it at www.yvesrocher.com I hear olive oil works too.

Answer 23

first of all, don't trust cosmetics at all. they are just fancy items and look good only when body is healthy.



u need to drink more milk and eat milk products for CALCIUM(a mineral which is very essential for bones, nails r a kind). ok. and pls dont use polishes or any sort of nail art thing when ur nails r facing problems.



along with vitamins, proteins, carbohydrates etc, u need many more nutrients as well. CALCIUM is 1 of them.

take care. revise ur diet. make sure u take 2 to 3 glasses of milk everyday. u need that.



if the problem still persists, u immediately need to see a doctor. becoz revising ur diet will not have an instant result , it will take days.. weeks.. so, yeah. if it is getting worse, u see a doctor.



ok. take care. nails are an important part of our body. we must all take good care of ourselves. :-)



do take care.

Answer 24

12.by keeping them sensibly short ur ensuring that they wont break so often

13.try using an intensive hand cream before u go to bed and wear cotton gloves or just a pair of socks over ur hands to let the hand cream penetrate.



hope it worked

Answer 25

The chip and break all the time yea but just because you use polishes and take vitamins doesnt mean your always going to have healthy nails it all depends on how much calcium you have your in your body because your nails are made up of protein that you get from milk as well as vitamins. if that doesnt help go to your doctor and ty asking about prenatal pills. those pills arent just for pregnant women but also for people who dont have enough calcium in their body.

Answer 26

Strange as this sounds. Eat Jello. The gelatin helps nails get stronger. Plus I use NutraNail Maximum 10" Strengthener atleast once a week. It protects nails against water which makes them weak. Milk does help too.

Answer 27

There is a nail buffer you can buy at the dollar tree that has 4 sides to it, its a 4 step process then you also buy nail cuticle oil to put on afterwards. I have been using these 2 items for about 8 months now and have nails. I was never ever able to grow nails before that. They often sell them on lil carts in your local mall also.

Answer 28

Do you wear gloves when you wash dishes and use harsh cleaners? This could be a problem you want to address! Also if you polish and take off the polish on your nails often that could wear them down. Try going without polish and just use a cuticle cream instead.

Answer 29

I was a nail biter for 35 years and on my birthday last year i decided to grow my nails. I too had the same issues you had. I tried all the polishes, the gelatin and all and one day i was speaking to my physician about this and he prescribed pre-natal vitamins for me, Im not pregnant but he told me that they have the things in them that help grow not only your nails but your hair also. Look at a few pregnant women, they have shiny thick hair and long strong nails. The vitamins have no adverse side affects and they worked wonders for me. Please talk to your doctor before trying new vitamins and they are a prescription. Good luck

Answer 30

When you remove polish try using a hardening and nourishing polish remover, also apply nail strengthening clear coat polish as needed. Soaking your nail in lemon juice may help as well. Taking a calcium supplement and using almond oil may help your nails become stronger so they do not chip and break as often as they do.

Answer 31

(HEY DEEHORTON>>>>I know you've got a lot of junk to wade through...but definately read this. It's not a waste of time but real nutritional info and please don't rely upon some chemically laden product to repair something natural like nails...you can do it naturally)



Some of this might have to do with mineral deficiency. If you do not eat a lot of leafy greens and veggies, then try adding a good mineral supplement to your diet. Or at least increase your veggies and foods with high mineral content. That will help so long as you have a good digestion. If you don't, then try looking into herbs and supplements like enzymes, betaine hcl(low stomach acid only), bitters and Deglycerized licorice for stomach healing and digestion support. If your digestion is good, then just focus on improving your diet, increasing the healthy stuff, decreasing the junk. You know how it goes!

Biotin also helps strenghten nails and hair. In health food/vitamin stores, there are some good formulas to help do that, just look for things like horse chesnut, biotin, minerals, sicila and gelatin.

those can help. don't do everything at once. research and find someone educated about nutrition to get some help where you live. mostly find out what's going on with your digestion and overall health. nails are a good or poor sign of current health status/issues. for instance, those little white spots, are often due to zinc deficiency. horizantal lines and brittle nails are often due to poor protein digestion/absorption issues. Vertical lines are mineral deficiency.

usually nail problems are often due to poor digestion and poor mineral absorption and other health issues in the body. I've had it a lot but I also have stomach issues and don't have good digestion. whenever I improve my digestion, my nails improve. they go hand in hand.

Answer 32

I tried years ago a combination of iodine and vinegar soak makes your nails very tough you would only be required to soak nails in this mixture three times a week for 15 minutes at a time and your nails will grow and become very strong 2 parts iodine 4 parts vinegar , the only trouble is liquiod iodine is kinda hard to find now days.

Answer 33

Take a prenatal vitamin to help your hair and nails grow longer and stronger. Also, being a nail tech, NEVER, EVER put a hardener on your nails. A hardener does just that...it hardens, which can also make them brittle and break much easier. Try Nailtiques, (found in fine salons) they make them in different prescriptions. Find the one that is right for you and you will be amazed, I have seen it work absolute wonders.

Answer 34

Okay Believe it or not but washing Dishes helps your nails grow!!!! As well as drinking milk everyday!!!! And Keeping them clean!!!! And I have pretty long nails and thats what I do. Wash dishes when I can and Drink at least 1 1/2 cup of milk everyday!!!! 1 cup sometime in the day and then 1/2 or more before I go to bed.. But there is no limit to how much you need to drink thats just my set balance.

Answer 35

First of all your nails are made up of a substance called karitin. Take a multi- purpose vitamin and use a nail strengthener from a proffessional product. OPI has a good one. Research and compare. Or you could have a medical problem called atrophy of the nail. Consult a physician if your problem doesn't get resolved.

Answer 36

My mom's nails are the same way. Try taking some calcium pills, it will take awhile, in the mean time, check your cuticles, and where a clear cop of nail hardener. Do not put colored polish on them, because if you use polish remover on your nails it makes them worse. hope that helps

Answer 37

Beauty supply store sells a nail treatment for exactly what your talking about- it paints on clear like normal nail polish but it streghtens your nails. Also if you work or play in water alot- it could be breaking them off. Wear gloves while doing dishes and gardening to protect them.

Answer 38

geltian tablets. once you have some nice nails growing, go have them put a poly coat on them, at a salon. but you have to grow from the inside , and the gelenton tablets, are the same as unflavered gelenton. yeaons ago, when in high school all us girls drank unflavored gelton, each day. yuckie, yet made nails grow like crazy. we never used to polish them, as polish was thought to smother the nails. we buffed them, look for a good buffer also. it will make them shine.

Answer 39

I used to have soft, curving nails that broke off fast. Know what?? I read about Horsetail herb. Honestly, above and beyond garlic or anything else, these little suckers did the deed. I'm happy to say they're still strong and I stopped taking the herb a while back. (Horsetail has silica in it that's great for hair and nails.) Have fun.

Answer 40

If the nail is not pink it means that they are not healthy.

Fluoride and calcium make teeth and bones stronger. But did you know they make fingernails stronger, too? Barielle Fortifying Nail Builder is rich in both. It bonds weak nail layers and seals free edges while fortifying the nails with calcium and fluoride. Vitamins B, E, and A bolster your nails against splitting, peeling, and cracking

Answer 41

Drink lots of milk!! Also use Sally Hansen Hard as Nails nail polishes! They are the best!!!

Answer 42

Omega 3 and 6 - fatty acids from fish oil or flaxseed oil

will help. Also, make sure you are getting enough vitamins,

especially A and B. Zinc is also recommended. A good

multivitamin/mineral supplement might be sufficient.

Perhaps with Omega 3 & 6 in addition.

Answer 43

homemade remedie: warm olive oil on the microwave and dip nails for about 15 minutes. Perform this 4-5 times a week, and guarantee your nails will be stronger

Answer 44

Prenatal vitamins will make hair and nails grow (but eat with them or they'll make you sick). Also, Country Bunny Bath & Body makes a great lotion bar of vitamin E and Beeswax that you rub into your cuticles for healthy nail beds and gorgeous model hands and they're only $7 or $8 bucks. Plus they smell AWESOME!

Answer 45

Do you bite your nails? that could be one of the reasons. What i did was for a while was trim my nails with nail clippers. the longer you do that the stronger the nails grow because the nails grow stronger each time. Just be sure that you cut the nails correctly

Answer 46

Hey The Best Thing If You Like It Is Drink Plenty Of Milk

Answer 47

Try eating high protein nuts like almonds, not roasted/salted ones, which give very little nutrition, and drinking soy milk. Also, wearing polish all the time can suffocate the nail bed. Try letting them breathe for a while.. Moisturizing the cuticle can help bunches- hope this helps!

Answer 48

i didn't read the other answers and i hope i don't repeat another one , but i know an old remedy that says something like this : take some olive oil , warm it up just a little , pour it into a bowl and sink your nails into it , 5 min. each hand .do this every day for a week and it should make the difference ..

Answer 49

Stress usually causes nails to do that. You should eat lots of protein because it makes your nails stronger and healthier. So it's not just about eating healthy, it's about eating protein. Such as milk, eggs, etc. My mom had the same problem.

Answer 50

I had great luck with Nutra Nails - and I discovered it while working in a hardware store and really being rough on my nails. I'm sure other products might also work but it was a minor miracle to have them even in length and not breaking off while doing such demanding work.

Answer 51

The average multivitamin does not contain the recommended daily value of calcium for women. You should either take calcium pills or increase your daily dairy intake. You can also try to use products like Sally Hansen or any other nail hardener.

Answer 52

Horsetail rush a natural plant based source of silica. Silica provides dietary support for cartilage, nails and hair.*Biotin helps support the matrix of hair, skin and nails. Go to GNC (General Nutrition Center) store and pick up some vitamins. Also, you can apply protein polish to your nails. This will help nourish them so they don't crack or peel.

Answer 53

Sometimes i take my mind off the fact that my nails are not responding to all my TLC. I've found that when i worry a lot, everything goes wrong. However,try rubbing some olive oil over your nails and place briefly over a source of heat, e.g candle light.Avoid putting your nails in water for too long and most of all, be anxious for nothing. trust me, it worked for me.

Answer 54

There are vitamins specifically designed for healthier hair and nails. Make sure you get lots of protein and calcium in your diet too. Sometimes strong nails are simply genetic. I know people who do everything right and their nails are still weak. It's like someone having really thick hair and another having very fine hair.

Answer 55

Exercise to make use effectively of the good nutrients and vitamins, take glucosamine 6 Phosphate tablets , eat red meat , eggs , take supplemental vitamin A and C

Worry less , do 5 push ups per day to increase the circulation to your fingers .

Answer 56

Good food supplement with calcium and lot of milk products should do the magic... also while going in for a manicure make sure the beautician does not scrape out the nail it self while cleaning it.

Answer 57

Sally Hansen has nail strengtheners and nail hardeners in nail polishes. Keep them somewhat short, that reduces breakage. Don't get acrylics put on unless you plan on keeping them, because all that happens is your nails are thinner as a result of the filing they do when acrylics are put on.

Answer 58

this is what I did. I would let my nails grow as long as they would grow, and then I'd clip them all off. I'd keep doing that for about 2 years and now I can grow them as long as I want to, and they're as strong as artificial nails. Look at your nails like a bush or a tree, the more you prune it and alter it's growth, the stronger it becomes because it has to adapt to being cut.

Answer 59

When a real mess to start with try a nail hardener, some cheap$2 ones are real good, try to avoid filing except for a very fine& light only when neccesary,vitamins and minerals are the only real answer for the long run however try this to start with and remember to keep your cuticals clear so they can breath.

Answer 60

Honestly, if you really want to know. The best way to make your nails healthy and shiny is to take prenatal vitamins. You can find them at the local GNC or vitamin store. I have a wife and three kids. Everytime she took those vitamins her nails drastically improve

Answer 61

eat more calcium rich foods or take calcium supplements since nails are consider bones too. the acrylic in nail polish can actually weaken the nails and make it brittle. you should try to go without polish and let your nails breathe for awhile

Answer 62

hear stop listening to the jokes these ppl say. i got strong as nail it takes 30 seconds for me to clip one nail. n i eat at least 5 times a day. i take no vitamins, excercise on a blue moon maybe red moon. Anddont polish them, but that i recommend. just take it easy, easy EASY!!!!!!!!!EASY that all u need. calm down seriously just nails comon. ok the 30 second is bull but i got good nails. n everything else is correct.

Answer 63

Eat alot of vitamins and cut off the biting nails and don't od with the fake nails ok and the tips

Answer 64

You must first have a professional manicure. Reason all nails will be filed correctly and cuticle area cleaned. Maintain this procedure and in between use Duri Nail Products

Answer 65

you all are going to love this answer.



soak you hands in blood. the protein causes faster growing stronger and healthier looking nails.



Works with hair too but not certain any one wants to wash their hair in blood.



I have heard soaking them in mayo or beer or other high protein solutions works also, but I never tried it. I used to cook a lot meat and preparing it made my nails grow fast and strong.

Answer 66

L'Oreal Grow Stronger clear nail polish, I'm wearing it now and even with gelatin and calcium, I still need it.

Answer 67

Make Jell-O tea by putting 1/2 package of any flavored Jell-O into a tea cup. Fill with boiling water and stir. Drink like tea. If it gets too cold it will start to gel. This helps your nails.

Answer 68

Actually, getting acrylic on top suffocates your natural nails. Letting them recoup and heal from that process takes time. Take B vitamins and Vit E as well. Patience for them to turn around...it works. Oh and stop biting them (smiles) Nadia

Answer 69

My nails were thin and brittle. I started using the gelatin plant. Gelatin supplement can be as little as 2.5% with additives like powdered animal horns and hooves.The real product can be ordered from the Internet. In China, we can get it from a traditional medicine store.

you could have an underlying health issue. When nails are thin in areas and not the whole nail and only every couple of months or so its an issue in the body.
