Well-groomed, healthy nails are always in the back of our minds. Whether you choose an impressive manicure with nail art or you prefer to leave your nails natural, one thing is for sure. Healthy nails are important for all of us.
Although in theory you can agree with the above, in practice maintaining strong nails is a more difficult case. Poor diet, stress (which can make you eat them) or the many semi-permanent manicures are just some of the reasons that nails can wear out. The result is that your nails become weaker and weaker and break more easily.
The good news is that there is a simple solution. Because where the daily lifestyle often lags behind, vitamins come to save the situation. But which vitamins are suitable for strengthening nails? We did our research and we present them to you!
Biotin
Known as vitamin B7, biotin enhances the thickness and firmness of nails. In fact, scientific studies have linked the consumption of biotin supplements with a 25% increase in nail thickness! Especially if you consider that biotin is not automatically created by the body but must be consumed through food, you understand why it is at the top of today’s list.
Collagen
A miraculous ingredient for the skin but also for the nails. Collagen supplements benefit nails as they contain amino acids. And these amino acids are the basis for healthy, strong nails, providing the body with a variety of nutrients. More specifically, research shows that collagen supplements improve nail growth while reducing breakage. In other words, they provide all the benefits we desire!
Keratin
Another structural component of nails, keratin is crucial for strong nails. You can choose between a supplement that combines keratin with biotin or collagen or consume it as a separate supplement.
Ω-3
Omega-3 fatty acids strengthen the skin barrier, locking in moisture and keeping the skin soft and supple. Thus, they strengthen the nails, making them more shiny and reducing irritations.
Antioxidants
If you are a skincare junkie you will not be surprised to see antioxidants in this list. Antioxidants, but also more specifically, vitamin C are essential for good nail health as it is essential in the synthesis of collagen. At the same time, vitamin E enhances the appearance of nails, giving them a healthy, fresh color. In addition, other forms of antioxidants, such as fruit extracts, protect nails from oxidative stress.
If you, too, want to strengthen your nails and improve their appearance, you now know the solution. To choose the nutritional supplement that suits you with more confidence, consult your dermatologist and get ready to see your nails more beautiful and strong than ever!
