My nails have always been soft to the point of bending and chip & peel easily. I started taking biotin in a caplet that also contained other multiple vitamins (actually less expensive than just the boitin alone). I took about 3 months and I can say than my nails are at least 50% stronger and manage to grow out longer. Its not a miracle, but it is a great improvement.

My thunbnails are very strong, so I can't figure out why the rest of my fingernails are not strong. I began taking Biotin vitamins a few months back...fingernails got stronger so I decided to get professional manicures done every other week...ok until she decided to used a 'nail strengthener' on my nails...now I am back to square one with very weak nails. Don't know what that nail strengthener would have done to cause my nails to weaken again. Why can't there be a cream with biotin in it to put on my nails??? It would seem to me that would work quicker(?). I have 2 fingernails that always split. My thunbnails are very strong, so I can’t figure out why the rest of my fingernails are not strong.

Vitamin/mineral supplements need to work with each other as they are litterally dependent on each other. I would suggest a recommended multivitamin, consider reading the nutrisearch comparitive guide to nutritional supplements, by lyle macwilliams. biotin alone is not responsible for healthy nails/hair. The multi i use is life force from source naturals. youll be doing your body good by using a multi and not just biotin. you can always supplement more biotin along with a multi. vitamins alone cannot work to their full potential.

After about 2 months I started seeing an improvement, and after 4 months I was very happy with fewer lines and cracks and thicker nails. Unfortunately, when I stop the Biotin, my nails quickly start returning to the way they were. I guess it's Biotin for life for me. BTW - I had previously tried decolorized Iodine and Nail Strengthening Cream, and neither helped at all. OK – I never believe this stuff, but Biotin really worked.
