What vitamins am I missing?

So....my nails on both my hands and feet are dry, brittle and breaking and I'm wondering just what vitamins or minerals am I short of. I'm 8 1/2 months post-op. Any ideas?  (I'm also in a long 4 week stall....don't know if that's related )

Cheers...Jane

What vitamins are you currently taking?  It could be just the dry,  cold weather. 

I'm taking... 2 multi's for women 50+, 2000 D3, 1200 Calcium Citrate, 1000 B12 every other day, B50 complex and CoQ10.  I was wondering about Zinc or Iron???

You need Biotin AND I TAKE Hair Skin AND NAILS ALSO WITH BIOTIN IN IT AS WELL

Thanks....I'll check out Biotin !!!

You likely don't "need" extra biotin. I'd be mindful of adding vitamin/minerals without your doctor's/centre's knowledge. Additionally, I have heard many instances of women adding extra biotin (thinking it would promote hair growth) only to find that it worked really well - on their face. :/

Yikes...good to know. I definitely don't need more hair on my face. Thanks for the heads up.

since I've been using Biotin going on 2 yrs. my nails are long and strong and so is my hair I swear by it and any facial hair was all ready there

That's great - for you. Advising someone that they "need" a supplement - maybe not so great.

really not nice just trying to help not advise
