What helps your nails get thicker?

Gelatin and calcium are the obvious choices. My aunt took gelatin pills that she picked up from the pharmacy and her nails got significantly stronger. Calcium can also be taken in pill form, but if you're drinking enough milk or ingesting enough dairy then you probably won't benefit too much more from this. If you already have a great deal of calcium in your diet, look at your potassium (i.e. found in bananas) - as the potassium is what helps your body intake the calcium from your foods and beverages. Also, Invest in a good nail hardener, and make sure to cut your nails if you have any snags - don't peel it off - it weakens the nail.
