    Unhappy Breaking/Chipping Nails

    My nails have been breaking over and over again, it's really annoying me.

    What am I lacking?

    Any vitamins that help?

    the girl who did my nails in London alwasys said that she could really tell the difference between those who took multi-vitamins and those that didn't, as in those that did had much better nails - so that might be worth a try!

    hey,
    My nails were also very weak, until I started to use Nail Inc. A&E treatment...its excellent and I am sure you can buy it in HK. Although, your skin, hair and nails are good indicators of a vitamin deficiency, which you should pay attention to. So maybe think about taking a supplement which has vitamin A and B in it, they do produce special hair, nail and skin vitamin supplements...hope this helps

    Rosemary, have you changed your diet lately or been eating a lot less fish?

    Try taking Evening Primrose oil religiously.
    This is a huge help for your hair, skin and nails.
    You should notice a difference in a few months.

    Don't give up if it takes a while to see results- you'll have people commenting in no time.
    Keep it up!

    All the best

    Silica is what is missing if you have cracked or chipped nails and also nrequired for dry breaking heair. MSM also very helpful, once again for future referrence.
