Content: Many vitamins and minerals are important for nail health. To improve your nail health from the inside, maintaining a well-balanced diet is critical," says Murphy-Rose. " Among others, nails require good sources of protein, calcium and vitamin D, iron, B-complex vitamins, and antioxidants." A diet rich in iron includes cereals that are iron-fortified, spinach, various lean red meats, chicken and fish, tofu, and beans. Murphy-Rose suggests adding additional sources of lean protein and leafy greens to your diet to amp up nail health, "as well as antioxidant-rich foods like blueberries, broccoli and bell peppers." You can also supplement your diet with vitamins, says Murphy-Rose, who favors calcium and vitamin D for healthy, shiny nails. " I personally notice a huge improvement in nail strength and nail growth when I take Vitafusion Calcium + Vitamin D gummy vitamins every day for a few weeks. Any similar well-absorbed vitamin supplement should help." Another note on biotin: One of the B-vitamins, it helps to prevent brittle nails.
