What can I eat to help my nails grow healthier?

My nails grow quite long but are always brittle and break easily, I cut them regularly because of this but I'd like to let them grow. Is there anything I could change in my diet or any vitamins I could have for this.What can I eat to help my nails grow healthier?
Vitamins make your nails grow stronger and longer. So does eating or drinking dairy products. I also recommend that nail polish stuff that helps your nails grow and at the same time it lets out bitter formula to stop you biting them.What can I eat to help my nails grow healthier?
i don't know if this is fact or not but i heard strong nails are past down in your family.

just having a really good diet will repair your whole body, so maybe that's the case?

You could definitely drink milk,but there are some vitamins you can take(I forgot what they were called!)just go to the pharmacy and tell about your nails and see if they can help you.
take a regular multi-vitamin like centrum. It doesnt cost much, maybe about 5 bucks for 50 capsules at walmart. I have long hair, and pretty strong nails now.



The vitamin Biotin is great for nails.
Milk,water,fruit juice,fruit

Since your nails are hair it is important that you get plenty of protein and calcium.What is the best thing to do to make your nails grow long,strong,and healthy?
You can take prenatal vitamins. They also help your hair grow too.
The best thing to do is to drink plenty of milk and or orange juice. Drink lots of water and visit the nail salon with a manicure every week. Always try to see the same person so they will know how to treat your nails...
vitamin e pills work wonders for hair and nails!
Aside from vitamins and proper diet, there is a product I've seen on TV called ';T.I.P.S.';


Either from HSN or QVC (I believe QVC)


Go to their website hsn.com or qvc.com, it's one of them.

I have rough, peeling toenails and my doctor said it is a zinc deficiency. Why are my finger nails so healthy?

Your toes are farther away than your finger tips. The are more of an extremity than your fingers. Also, you use your fingers, so they get stimulated and have more blood flow. I have rough, peeling toenails and my doctor said it is a zinc deficiency. Why are my finger nails so healthy?
It may only be showing in your toenails if they aren't as well taken care of ie. moisturized etc. But if he ruled out fungus, there probably isn't much you can do. Some people are just like that.

  • How to get stronger and healthier nails?

    My nails are brittle and break easily. Are there any particular foods I should eat or vitamins to take to make my nails stronger?How to get stronger and healthier nails?
    I had the same problem, especially after curing my addiction to acrylic nails. There is a product called ';Nailtique.'; It costs $13, but it is sooo worth it. It is clear and you apply it daily. My nails grew back and became thicker in about a month. I still use it off and on, mixed in with Sally Hansen products (which I agree with everyone else on). As far as vitamins, always take a multivitamin, but also take Biotin, which is great for your hair and nails.How to get stronger and healthier nails?
    I Suffred tooo....and these are some remedies that helped me


    Gelatin..just Put Some In Your Milk n DRink It


    Dip The For 5 mIns In Olive Oil


    Use Sally Hansen Products...Best Thing Ever


    Yup Thats All


    Moisturise Your Hands With Vitamin E Cream - An Essential
    Rub garlic on your nails as often as possible and it will get stronger. Also, don't soak them in the water for a long time. Use gloves when washing.
    I know anything with jellatin will make them grow .My nails grow very fast but I love jello.
    Use a non-acetone polish remover. It is less drying.
    saly hansen is number one. get one called diamond hard i think with nylon. the nylon ones are the best . and sally hansen is number one again!





    oh and take a regular multivitamin such as centrum regular. that should help the process and maintain ur nails for a lifetime lolz
    Sally Hansen has products for this problem. Eat food with protein...keep your nails just above the tip....don't ';saw'; your nails when filing them....use gloves when your hands are in water...use a good hand and nail moisturizer.
    Eat Jello! I think they even have Gelatin pills that can help too. Or you could put a clear top coat on your nails everyday.
    I have a nail polish remover that helps to make weak nails slightly thicker and a lot stronger.





    My nails never broke since...





    It is called: Sally Hansen and it has vitamins E%26amp; hydrated ehat protien.





    It is 8 fl oz/ 236.5 ml and works everytime.

    First start by cleaning your nails using a scrubbing brush and a mild soap.


    Then dry them thoroughly and apply a light hand cream.


    Now wait til the hand cream has soaked in and then using a nail file, file your nails down to one length even if they are really short.


    Now rinse your hands to get rid of any dust from filing.


    Now your ready to paint start with applying two coats of paint in a bright color and then add a clear top coat when dry.


    Every week take off the nail polish and apply cuticle cream/oil and file nails neatly.


    Eventually they will reach the length you desire.


    Remove Nail polish thoroughly.


    Note! Keeping nails painted all the time actually makes nails stronger! Just be sure to refresh your polish.

    If my nails grow really fast and healthy, does that ussually mean that hair is growing fast and healthy?

    just curious about if healthy nails usually a sing of healthy growing hair tooIf my nails grow really fast and healthy, does that ussually mean that hair is growing fast and healthy?
    YES It does because hair and nails are made out of the same material so if your nails are growing so is your hair.If my nails grow really fast and healthy, does that ussually mean that hair is growing fast and healthy?
    Hair and nails are 2 completely different tings. If you take good care of your hair, that does not mean your nails will look fine to.
    Yes.
    No, I don't think so. The best way to get longer hair faster is to massage the scalp to increase the blood flow and there are theories on vitamin supplements but I've not heard any real evidence on that.
    Well, for me I have both healthy hair and nails. It might mean that your body is healthy and make sure to drink plenty of water[fyi i drink 6 bottles, yes 6, of water a day]
