Dry, Peeling, Soft Nails with Ridges....Any Suggestions?
Hey Precious Folks! Thyroid Disease has destroyed my nails. I have tried almost everything for them. I keep my hands & cuticles moisturized, but, to no avail. Any suggestions? Thanking you in advance.

Are you taking a Food Based B Complex vitamin? I highly recommend Thorne Vitamins. Or Pure Encapsulations.

1 Reactionirr43t, Thank you. Those are exactly the 2 brands I use with the B Complex. I alternate sometimes. Blessings to you.
I too have thyroid disease and incidentally noted recently, with the somewhat regular use of Citrucel that my
nails were much stronger and a couple no longer had ridges. Citrucel reminds me of "jello" and I think jello is
collagen? So maybe collagen would be most helpful?

3 ReactionsHi! For years I lamented about my thin nails, because I was jealous that my mother and sister had beautiful strong thicker nails! A year or so ago I came across a Collagen video and am still taking it because it has helped tremendously!! Also,my daughter recommended I take prenatal vitamins and my nails got even better and grow faster!! Iam 68 and so tickled!!!Good luck!
