Since losing weight, my finger nails have become very weak. So I tried adding back some dairy. Sometimes I take two calcium supplements a day. But recently I just split the fingernail of my right ring finger vertically. What do these vertical splits mean? I read online that it can happen when you expose your hands to lots of cleaning solutions without wearing gloves. But I don't do that. I think it's more of a nutritional thing.
Anyway, I tried cutting my nail short. Still it's a deep split:

I hope someone in the medical field does answer you. From personal experience I can tell you that calcium is great as long as you're also taking vitamin D with it, so that it can absolve. Have you tried taking Biotin? Biotin is good for the skin, hair and nails. It seems like it could just be a deficiency, I suffer from weak nails sometimes.

Thanks. I did read about biotin.

I have no clue. Nails are made of keratin, not calcium. But you should eat as much calcium as you possibly can (not just supplements). Osteoporosis is a beast and most women get it.

Have you ever tried Knox Gelatin, it comes in small packets...it is very good to help build strong fingernails, mix it in fruit juice because it doesn't have much flavor. Also try cleaning your home, floors, wood, with Murphy's Oil Soap, mix it in warm water, don't use gloves its gentle to hands and...it has oils which make your nails smooth.

Knox Gelatin is derived from a porcine source. It's not Kosher. Also, I don't think there's external factors that caused Lisa's fingernail to split.

I think I'm going to cut the rest of my nails shorter to avoid any more more splits.

Those are certainly my fingers in the picture. I think I would make a good male hand model. What do you guys think?

Male hands?

multivitamin, milk. Cut your nails short and don't put nail polish. I have heard of some oils which can strengthen the nails...You can go to Salus since they know better.

Male hands?
Yes. My hands are rather large.
