They will grow, although slowly, but once they get just past the tips of my fingers they flake off in layers.

First are you sure its not a fungus that is making them flake, its a classic sign. If so then try some spirulina, but make sure you dont an allergy to algae. Also take in calcium but remember that too much calcium is a very bad thing. Vitamin E also helps with hair and nails try getting some of that. Also too some meds will make your nails do this or a vitamin deficiency.

The FIRST thing you should do is see a doctor! Nails that 'break' and 'flake' are a symptom of thyroid problems ... especially if you are also gaining a lot of weight, are 'underweight' or have little energy. Getting your thyroid 'fixed' will help your nails ... but they will still 'flake' at times if your thyroid gets 'off' just a little bit.

Hi, Calcium. Dairy or products that have calcium and lotion, it's a dry, harsh world in the winter. Good luck and then go get a manicure!!

take calcium, and go to the beauty supply store, and get that almond oil, use it every night, it makes your nails more resilient.
the almond oil- super nail dryer.. but it is great for your cuticles too!
