General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

I have gone through your question and understand your concern. I would suggest you follow a wholesome well-balanced diet to improve your hair and nail health. Try to add nuts like Walnuts, Brazil nut, Almonds, seeds like Sunflower, Pepitas, fish, avocado, yogurt to your diet.

In addition, Biotin supplementation is shown to improve hair and nail health and you can take Biotin supplements available over the counter. However, some beauty health supplements over-hyped today contains Collegen; which is not supported by scientific evidence to produce any benefit to the body and must be avoided.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
