Nutrition for Healthy, Strong Nails

Your nails can reveal a lot about your overall health. Brittle, slow-growing or discoloured nails may indicate that your body is lacking key nutrients. Like hair and skin, nails require a steady supply of vitamins, minerals and structural components to grow strong and resilient.

Biotin — The Key Nutrient for Nail Maintenance

Biotin (vitamin B7) is recognised for its contribution to the maintenance of normal nails. It supports the production of keratin, the structural protein that forms nail plates. Studies have shown that adequate biotin intake is associated with improved nail thickness and reduced brittleness over time.

Minerals for Nail Strength

• Zinc contributes to normal protein synthesis, which is essential for nail growth and repair. It also supports the maintenance of normal skin and nails.
• Copper plays a role in cross-linking collagen and elastin, contributing to the structural integrity of nail tissue.

Plant Extracts in Skin Hair & Nails

The formula includes several complementary plant extracts:

• Horsetail herb powder (Equisetum arvense L.) — a plant source of silicon dioxide.
• Bamboo shoots extract — another plant source of silicon dioxide.
• Millet seed extract — a traditional grain included for its mineral content.

Nutri-Leaf Skin Hair & Nails combines horsetail, bamboo, millet and nettle leaf extracts with biotin, zinc, copper, vitamin B12 and vitamin C. One capsule daily provides comprehensive nutritional support for strong, healthy nails.

Practical Tips for Nail Health

• Protect your hands — wear gloves when cleaning or using harsh chemicals.
• Keep nails trimmed and filed to prevent breakage.
• Moisturise hands and cuticles regularly.
• Avoid using nails as tools for opening or scraping.
• Be patient — nails grow slowly, and nutritional improvements take several months to become visible.
