Taking Supplements
Many supplements can help toenails grow properly. A deficiency of iron is a possible cause of brittle nails. Consult your doctor to take a blood test, which can help determine a deficiency of iron. In addition to supplements, iron is high in some foods like raisins, meats, legumes, fish, and eggs. Another option can be biotin, which has been shown to improve nail health and strength. Calcium supplements can help with weak and brittle toenails as well. You can find this mineral in tuna, dairy products, and green veggies. Last but not least, taking vitamin E supplements can help. This powerful fat-soluble antioxidant can keep your nails strong and healthy. [5]
