I have never had very good nails but they are now dreadful. Following a spate of poor health my nails flake and break off. Quite often quite well down to the fingers which make them sore.

I wondered if anyone takes a supplement that could help.

Not a supplement, but CND Solar Oil has made a big difference to my nails, which used to be really brittle and broke easily. You can buy it on Amazon.

Omega 3 fish oils...

A blood test showed that I was low in vitamin D and gave me a prescription. My nails have been really strong since taking it

My Mum ate one whole Almond per day for months and her nails improved considerably. Worth a try.

The CND Solar Oil contains almond oil, so that would make sense...

I have been taking a collagen supplement for about 18 months and it has made a big difference to my nails which were apt to split, crack and chip but are now much stronger and rarely break. The supplement has also made a huge difference to my hair which is much stronger and more abundant than it used to be.
