Home Remedy to Strengthen Nails

Ask your pharmacist to order you a bottle of two of Decolorized iodine. It is iodine without the orange stain. Put a Q-tip in the bottle and swipe each nail with it every day for a month. Then keep doing it a couple of times a week and then once a week and then a couple of times a month. It is amazing how much more healthy and strong your nails become. It is inexpensive and it works. Iodine is used to strengthen horses hooves. It works on people too.

Rather than a topical solution, you may want to start taking vitamins. There are some especially formulated for nail and hair health.

My mother takes 1000mg Biotin tablets daily to help her finger nails. Biotin is also good for hair growth.

I am looking for an inexpensive home remedy to strengthen nails.

My fingernails are very thin and tear easily. What can I do to strengthen or thicken them?
