For the last few months my nails have been flaking any advice from you good people to help sort this problem. Thanks

I take calcium tablets. I started when I noticed my nails flaking and thought that my bones would also need calcium.

Have you been dieting recently? My nail condition suffered when I was following a low fat diet. Try including some healthy fats in your diet - e.g. fish, avocado, coconut oil etc. Whatever solution you follow, bear in mind that it will take some months for the new growth to replace what's already there!

I have anaemia and my nails are very brittle. Could be that, so make sure you are getting enough iron

I had dry flaking nails too, and found that the only thing that worked was to take a combination of multi-vitamin and cod liver oil tables every day.


The ones that work for me are Multi Bionta and a high dose cod liver oil capsule, but you may find another combination that works well.


I had to take them for 2-3 weeks before I started to notice a difference, but over time this has really sorted out my nails - and as a bonus my hair seems to like the supplements too!
