Nails are an area of the body that is made up of various layers of a protein called keratin, which is responsible for keeping them strong and healthy. When the organism does not receive enough keratin, the nails become weak and brittle, they have little resistance and break easily.
If the nails present these characteristics, it can surely be due to various reasons, such as bodily disorders, external aggressions or a diet deficient in some essential vitamins to keep nails in good condition.
The vitamins that can be lacking in the body and cause weak nails are:
Vitamin B12 o cobalamina
Vitamin B12, also known as cobalamin, is considered an essential nutrient within the body, since it helps to synthesize hemoglobin and in the production of cells, among them, the red blood cells that are in charge of transporting oxygen for the organism to fulfill its functions correctly.
Biotin is a vitamin that is within the vitamin B complex and is a coenzyme that is responsible for multiple processes that occur in the body. Some of these processes in which biotin acts are helping to metabolize proteins and other nutrients, keeping muscle cells in good condition and also ensuring that hair, nails and skin remain healthy and strengthened.
For this reason, the portal ecoceutics.com I included “biotin in the list of vitamins for brittle nails because, thanks to its metabolizing and strengthening properties, it helps the beginning of the nail (the whiter part) to improve and grow stronger and also helps the nails to come back to be thicker”.
This vitamin can be found in foods rich in biotin such as egg yolk, brewer’s yeast, wheat germ, and oats, among others. In addition, you can also include it in your diet through vitamin supplements in the form of tablets or capsules.
Vitamin B9 or folic acid
Vitamin B9 or also known as folic acid also belongs to the B vitamin complex and is an essential nutrient for its regenerative properties that help accelerate the growth and renewal of many structures in our body.
Thanks to these properties, folic acid also influences the state of the nails, since it is necessary for the production of cells and their structures. “A vitamin B9 deficiency would affect the health of the nails, since it is necessary for the regeneration and growth of new cells, so that, in the end, they would become brittle nails due to poor growth,” highlighted the web portal dosfarma.com.
Among the foods rich in folic acid are: asparagus, beets, spinach, avocados, hazelnuts, lentils and chickpeas, among others.
In addition, vitamin E can also combat other problems that can occur in the nails, such as wounds that occur in the skin that surrounds the nails thanks to its repairing and healing properties; and also helps make nails stronger and more durable.
Vitamin E can be found in foods such as: wheat germ oil, sunflower seeds, almonds, oily fish and hazelnut oil..
