vitamins that can help build strong nails. They are also a good choice for

sources for essential vitamins are dried apricots for vitamin A, kiwi for
vitamin C and bananas for B6. Blueberries, blackberries and grapes are also
high in antioxidants, which promote good health.
Vegetables

minerals and vitamins for a healthy body and strong, healthy nails. Sweet
potatoes, carrots and dark green vegetables--like broccoli and asparagus--are
high in vitamin A. Carrots also contain vitamin B6, while spinach and other
leafy green vegetables have calcium, iron and antioxidants.
Grains
Yeast and barley are
just two of the grain products that contain the B-complex vitamin biotin and
protein that can lead to healthy nails.

help restore brittle or dry nails.

Soybeans also contain
biotin. In addition to soybeans, lentils are a good choice for vitamin B6 and
sulphur amino acids.

Lean meat products are
good for a healthy body. Liver and kidney contain iron, protein and biotin, all
