Nails Paper thin!!!

I am not due for labs until next month. Last time my iron was really low and vitamin D borderline.  Everything else was fine.

Does any one have a clue which vitamin I should have more of? Since this has never happened to me before I am really alarmed.  Thanks

Some say to take biotin for hair and nails and some say dont waste your money!  

I read somewhere that your nails are made of protein. 

I am only 4 months out and eat more protein now than I did before my surgery. And my nails are stronger than they have been my whole life....and I do really mean that.   

I have wondered if eating more protein has translated to stronger nails. 

I guess I dont have any answers for you, just random thoughts. I will be looking for others to reply so I can learn something too. 

Follow up on your iron. One symptom of low iron is thin and brittle nails.

 I added in Biotin to my vitamin regiment a few months ago and can tell a huge difference in the strength of my nails and hair.  It's inexpensive and worth a try :)  I take (2) 5mg capsules a day.  

Thanks

How often are you getting labs? If I have a out of range lab I will retesr in 3 months or sooner.
You need labs. Guessing based on symptom is not wise.

Last Labs were in Dec not due again until next month. Thanks

B2 (riboflavin) made my nails grow fast and strong. My nails are better than they ever were before surgery.

Thanks I will give it a try!
