Anyone With Nutrition Knowledge- What Supplements Can I Take To Strengthen My Nails?

Sunday May 31, 2009

I already take 5000-10,000 mcgs of Biotin.
What can I take to help my thin nails to thicken or at the very least become a little stronger.
I am a healthy adult, I take a multivitamin, vit B, fish oil and calcium.
Are there any other supplements that I am forgetting?

I had the same problem. I tried some nail strengthening nail polish (It was like $2 at wallgreens or something) but it actually didn’t work. I guess it makes sense, it was only $2 or something. But, it’s good you’re taking calcium! Try vitamin E. If you puncture the little capsules and apply the liquidy stuff directly onto your cuticles, it actually does work as well. I’ve tried a lot of things…and that’s worked the best for me!
Good luck! = ]

Do Calcium vitamins, drink lot of milk, eat yogurt. Any dairy products definitely help you w/ your nail strengthening. I have them very hard b/c I love milk and I take Calcium only vitamins.
Good Luck!

I’m trying to lose weight too and it’s sooo hard. My aunt is using a weight loss product and it’s really working for her. I’m gonna try it and I recommend you try it too. Check their website at http://www.myldirect.info , my aunt got a free trial and paid only 6.99$ shipping and handling.
