Clients will often come to us with complaints about weak, cracked, split, or peeling fingernails. It is not one-size-fits to fix the situation. Here are several suggestions you can try.
- Lack of or malabsorption of protein
- Zinc deficiency
- Calcium deficiency
- Magnesium deficiency
- Iron deficiency
- Vitamin D deficiency
- Hormone Imbalance (only if hair is falling out as well)
- Excess carbohydrate consumption
- Lack of essential fats (especially omega-3 and monounsaturated, such as olive and avocado)
Remedies:
- Fix all of the above, if out-of-whack
- Supplement with Biotin
- Supplement with Silica
- Soak fingernails in gelatin

I read that sometimes cracked or peeling nails can be caused by hypothyroid.
