Bad Fingernails

hey lisa,

i don't know if i'm any help to answer this. i never had any trouble with my nails until the last year or so. i've had horrible breaking and chipping -- i am now walking around with 3/4 of a middle toe nail. they grow fine, but then sometimes just break in places that makes them seem weak. at the time it was really bad i thought it might be b/c i'd cut out meat except chicken. but i don't know. my vitamin levels are fine and i do take calcium, although i'm not sure either of those two things really help.

Put me down for sucky nails too. Vitamin E helps keep your nails strong so if your E is low your nails will be brittle. Gelatin is supposed to help too so eat your jello! You can actually buy gelatin pills too. Also try prenatal vitamins. Any woman of child baring age should take them even if you aren't trying to get preggers because the vitamins and minerals in them are greast for you, snd your hair and nails will be great. My nails grow like crazy since I started taking them.
