What do you take for your nails???

I will be 2 years out in October. And I am still having problems keeping my nails healthy and strong. I take my vitamins everyday plus an extra 1000mg of Biotin. My hair has come back in abundance and is thick and beautiful again. However, my nails...especially my toenails are still giving me problems. They are always flaking off and then yesterday my big toenail almost ripped off completely. I am so depressed about this because I used to have such pretty feet. I am a little obsessive about my toenails so I always keep them groomed and I usually do it myself as I am afraid to catch something from a salon. Please help me!!! Can you give me any advice as to what to do to get my nails heathly again???? I want to wear open toed shoes!!!!...LOL Thanks, Laura

sorry i can't give you a good answer for this but i take the prenatal vitamins and they work wonders for my fingernails but my toe nails are like yours. my left foot big toe nail started peeling off recently..it's weird. i'll be watching this post to see if anyone has answers to this question...but like i said the prenatals work great for my fingernails. and i'm a nail biter....they grow back within a couple days.

low iron can cause nail problems too..... my nails are so bad I have gel overlays. Darlene

My nut. told me to take Biotin & Zinc for hair and nails. I have always had very thin nails but with the Biotin & Zinc my nails did not get any worse than they've always been so if you had healthy nails before, I would assume it would help improve yours. Good luck! Vickie J.

Are you sure you don't have a nail fungus??? That can cause nails to flake. You might want to check that out.

Definately have your Dr take a look at the toenails. They can determine if there is a medical issue causing this problem such as a fungal infection, or vitamin mineral deficiency. Maybe they can check your labs too.

I use Hair Skin and Nails from GNC. It seems to help keep my nails in good shape!
