Hi guys,

Just wondering if anyone has had any problems with their fingernails peeling? I am eating healthy, I get in 60grms of protein/day, but have had some problems with my nails, breaking and just peeling. Any thoughts?

Thanks :blushing:

maybe 60 isnt enough protein........

i have read on here that people take biotin to help with nails and hair

mine look a little off colored but not peeling yet

during my pre op they were brittle and breaking

good luck

There's a few other nutrients involved in healthy hair skin and nails that just protein! A general good multivitamin supplement would [probably be more helpful than just increasing protein.

Protein has nothing to do with nails. However you should make sure you take your vitamins. I take a multivitamin, b-complex, and calcium. The multivitamin contains biotin which helps with hair, skin, and nail growth.

You need more Protein and take Biotin, keep them short so they don't peel so easy and at night rub a little olive oil in the cuticle area and the nail bed. Drink more Water. (I was a nail tech for years)

Since Jello is the best thing for nails eat some jello or buy some geletin caps or get some hair skin and nails from GNC they are big but you can break them in half and it did help tremendously with my hair and nails.

MIne are peeling too and I take mulit-vitamin twice a day and calcium twice a day...ugh!
