Hello,
I recommend taking zinc and iron supplements to help improve your nails. Consulting with a dermatologist in order to exclude a possible fungal infection is necessary. You should know that a fungal infection, may lead to yellow, thick and poor shaped nails.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
