Remember You Are What You Eat

Like so much of our outward appearance—from how clear our skin is to how shiny our hair is—our nail health begins with the nutrients we put in our body. Eating a well-balanced diet as well as increasing your biotin intake is your best bet for helping to strengthen your nails. Biotin is a B vitamin found in a variety of foods.

The highest amounts of biotin are found in animal proteins, like eggs, chicken, and salmon. However, you can also consume biotin in plant-based foods including nuts, seeds, spinach, and sweet potatoes. For comparison, an egg yolk contains approximately 10 micrograms of biotin while a serving of spinach has seven micrograms. I always recommend getting any vitamin and mineral naturally from your diet, as your body absorbs them better from diet than in a supplement form.

When Necessary, Take a Multivitamin

While biotin supplements are a buzzy product in the beauty space, they're no longer seen by experts as the best option. Although dermatologists used to recommend biotin as an over-the-counter treatment to help strengthen nails, a 2017 FDA warning highlighted that biotin can interfere with lab tests—so we no longer encourage routine biotin supplementation, we recommend focusing more on a balanced diet.

However, if you have a biotin deficiency, taking biotin can help strengthen and nourish nails. Deficiencies in biotin can have an effect on hair, nails, and skin, which may be why many people increase their biotin intake to support healthy nails. Symptoms of biotin deficiency can include hair loss, dry scaly skin, rash around the mouth, eyes, and nose, and brittle fingernails. Biotin has been proven to help strengthen brittle nails, which in turn can help them grow.
