If you like jello, eat some jello. You'll notice your nails will be so much stronger within 2 days. There's an ingredient in there that helps your nails, but I can't remember what it is...

Energy gal was incorrect. Jello is a brand name for gelatin. The ingredient in all gelatin is powdered collagen. Collagen is ground up animal hooves (essentially animal toe nails). That's why it improves nails.
Lousy nails are most often the result of vitamin B and iron deficiency. Without enough vitamin B, the nails are thin, weak, and tend to split. A lack of iron will cause small white flecks to appear embedded in the nail itself.
My nails haven't been too bad, but I noticed they looked healthier once I started taking the sourceCF softgels, which have vitamin B in them.
