What is the best natural way to strengthen nails: using creams with keratin, drinking gelatin, calcium pills?

My wife has paper thin nails... always has. To take care of this she gets her nails done about once a month [acrylic ones - french tips - etc.]. This and with supplements [calcium, iron, multi] she now has some decent nails. She still gets the ';fake'; ones put on tho, because they don't ';tear'; and cause pain.

Massage a little Vitamin E oil into them every night. Simple but effective.What is the best natural way to strengthen nails: using creams with keratin, drinking gelatin, calcium pills?
All of the above.
Vitamin E ^_^





also, i ordered a product called Strong Results from Avon and it did wonders for my nails...
Keratin won't be readily completely absorbed through your nail.They're similar to skin cells but don't have exactly the same membranous quality.Gelatin is helpful because it can be converted into collagen and keratin.


Honestly eating things like chicken skin on occasion in addition to gelatin is far more helpful.There's much more collagen in skin.


Supplementation of calcium won't be that helpful but Biotin and B complex will help both hair and nails.I know I'm a guy but I know alot about nutrition.
Calcium
I just asked this question and someone said BIOTIN. I've heard it works as well. Honestly applying stuff or soaking your nails in anything really doesnt help. You have to go down to the root of the problem -- the body and nourish it.

I'd say calcium pills because that's what our nails are made up. Like when you get those white lines on your finger nails which means that you don't have that much calcium or that you need more calcium.
