Glad hearing it is working. Started out with capsules, made my pouch more sore, guess it would have given me GERD in the Old Days, so I now use the gummies. Yeah I know, usually gets forbidden but my calorie levels are so abysmal that they said" it's Okay" but if you start craving Carbs you'll have to delete it. So far, so Good and my nails are a little stronger, don't drink Knox Gelatin any more like Mama made me do, mainly because I haven't drank OJ since before surgery and I didn't drink a whole lot then, one of the things that encouraged my GERD like I NEEDED something to.
But it is nice to have them to grow. long enough to trim instead of breaking at my fingertip level. As for my hair, well redheads have the fewest hairs per square inch compared to other shades. Went from Bob to pixie to a D.A., if you're old like me you remember the style, instead of a mullet at the back, as it grows out , you swoop it up with gel and let it stick out like a sideways Donald DUCK rump! No I am not regressing to adolesence, had enough trouble with THAT the first time! My mama was going through " the change" the exact same time, very hormonal scene, poor Daddy went fishing a lot, coward!

Two words for you: goat's milk. An ounce or two each week. It'll fix this. It did for me.

I started using Biotin capsules at first when I had sleeve surgery 0ct of 2016,5,000 mg twice a day and my nails which were thin as paper got hard as nails then I stopped for a few weeks totally thinned out and tearing off.Back on it after RNY REVISION SURGERY 10,000 twice a day and so much better.

HEY Thanks- never thought of such a thing- but if it works I will be a Lucky Ducky- my Cousins Leland and Dorothy raise and milk goats, live about 20 miles away so No-Problem-o, I'm sure if I ask they would even deliver me some! Leland's Dad was my Uncle Ray, Mama's older brother. Majority of relatives on Mama's side LIKE me, it was just the paternal bunch that thought I was a waste of breath and space.

Also, my dermatologist doc recommended pure lanolin cream, called Elon. I dot it on each nail twice a day, when they got thin, tearing, super dry, etc. and it firmed them up and smoothed our the ridges within days! I also use a OTC cuticle cream for the super dry skin around each nail, tip of fingers. Good luck!
