According to research, 40% of women can have brittle nails.

As well as the positive effects on nails, this formula also promotes healthy hair and skin.

Skin, hair and nails are chemically related. Basic requirements for the health of these structures include adequate intakes of nutrients such as protein, essential fatty acids, minerals and vitamins. The ingredients in Blackmores Nails Hair and Skin support healthy protein and fatty acid metabolism. The formula contains nutrients which have been found to contribute to the health of the nails, hair and skin:
Biotin is an essential vitamin which has been found in clinical trials to strengthen soft brittle nails and reduce breaking and splitting after 12 weeks.
Silica is concentrated in the nails, hair and skin and contributes to collagen formation.
