Fingernails

My nails refuse to grow. They used to be very long and strong but now they grow a tiny bit, then break. I though maybe getting a glus manicure would help, but they still break eaisly. I've tried all types of nail hardners. Any advice? Thanks...

Are you getting enough Calcium? Make sure to drink a lot of milk.

I'm probably not getting enough calcium. I eat a lot of fruit and veggies and some protein but I don't like milk so I try to eat cottage cheese and yogurt but probably not enough.

There are calcium supplements you can take, any pharmacy should have something you could try.

Does calcium really help grow strong halthy nails? I guess maybe the protein does it. Maybe I'll try that. Thanks for the advice...

Where can I get MHM. Can it be bought at a food or drug store? Thanks...
