Ocnlvr 1 Posted October 25, 2010 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: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oceangirl6 0 Posted March 8, 2011 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 Hi guys, Just wondering if anyone has had any problems with their fingernails peeling?

Jachut 487 Posted March 8, 2011 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.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AngryBaby 2 Posted March 9, 2011 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ttny007 29 Posted May 3, 2011 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) Theresa Hi guys, Just wondering if anyone has had any problems with their fingernails peeling?

cheryl2586 3,053 Posted May 3, 2011 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.
