Brittle Nails: Why?
 

What is present in, or missing from, my diet that is causing me to have brittle fingernails? I recently cut back my magnesium by 2/3. Could that be related? Is lack of calcium a possibility? (My calcium tests are usually normal.)

Thanks!

Have you ever tried MSM?
It's great for hair, nails, skin, allergies, list goes on and on...

Nervous,

There are so many things that can cause brittle nails, from dietary to wet/dry cycles to aging/menopause (hormonal) to thyroid imbalance (hypo and hyper) and many, many more. It might be better/faster to just
google: brittle nails causes treatment and see what looks likely. Nobody knows you like you. ;)
