The Underlying Causes of Brittle Nails

Your nails are primarily made of keratin, a protein. When your body lacks the essential building blocks and co-factors for keratin production and overall nail health, they can become weak, prone to breaking, peeling, and splitting. Here are some common nutritional culprits:

Biotin Deficiency: Often lauded as the "hair and nail vitamin," biotin (Vitamin B7) is crucial for the metabolism of fatty acids and amino acids, which are vital for healthy cell growth, including that of nail cells. 

Iron Deficiency: Anemia, caused by low iron levels, can lead to brittle or spoon-shaped nails (koilonychia). Iron is essential for oxygen transport, and inadequate oxygen supply to nail beds can impair their growth and strength. 

Zinc Deficiency: Zinc plays a vital role in protein synthesis and cell growth. A lack of zinc can manifest as slow nail growth, thin nails, or even white spots. 

Magnesium Deficiency: Magnesium is involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions in the body, including protein synthesis. Its deficiency can contribute to brittle nails and ridging.

Vitamin C Deficiency: Vitamin C is crucial for collagen production, a structural protein found in nails, skin, and hair. Without adequate Vitamin C, nails can become weak and brittle. 

Protein Deficiency: Since nails are made of protein, insufficient protein intake can directly impact their strength and integrity. 

Omega-3 Fatty Acids: These essential fats contribute to the overall health and hydration of cells, including those in your nails, preventing dryness and brittleness. 

Beyond Nutrition: Lifestyle Factors 

While nutrition is paramount, other factors can exacerbate brittle nails: 

Frequent Exposure to Water and Chemicals: Repeated wetting and drying, and exposure to harsh cleaning products or nail polish removers, can strip natural oils from your nails, making them dry and brittle. 

Aging: As we age, our nails can naturally become drier and more prone to breakage. 

Underlying Health Conditions: Thyroid disorders, fungal infections, and certain skin conditions can also contribute to brittle nails.
