OPI Nail Envy I posted about this product before. I have horrible nails because of a severe vitamin D deficiency. I tried OPI Nail Envy, and now you can see the line where the old nail is growing out and the strong, healthy nail is growing in.

I haven't had a single nail split or break since I started using this product a couple of months ago. You start out by painting on 2 coats then adding another coat every other day. I just use the original formula, but there are several different ones available.It's completely worth the price.

As far as the cause, it could be a lot of things from environmental factors to a medical issue. I found my vitamin deficiency from a blood test. The doctor is treating the vitamin issue, and I'm taking care of my nails.

:) My nails have rebounded much faster than the vitamin issue because he said that will take several months to deal with.

Had same problem I had the same problem, don't know for sure what causes it, but I started taking One-A-Day Active and now my nails grow strong and long. This wasn't why I started taking them, but it sure has been a wonderful side benefit.

Great, healthy nails are a bonus from this program... Forty years ago, I set out to find a natural prevention for arthritis. The little bonus from my daily ritual to prevent stiff joints...is smooth, healthy nails, wrinkle free skin and healthy hair. Treating these problems from within has proven to be much more effective that topical creams.

This is what I take every day...( I do take additional supplements for preventing arthritis, too) 2 Omega 3 Fish oil gelcap 1200mg 1AM, 1PM. 1 Organic Flaxsed/Linsed oil gelcap 1000mg. 1 Cod liver oil gelcap 1000mg I order my supplements from puritain.com The Puritains Pride company also supplies many health food stores, pharmacies and markets under their individual brands...buying direct saves a lot.

Until 9/20 they have a buy 1, get 2 free sale. They're made in the USA, pure, fresh and work great for us. Enjoy your strong healthy nails.

Biotin, Vit D3, Calcium supplement, Silcon Take vitamins, Celiac diet (no dairy or grains) blocks minerals absorbed.

I take 5000 IU of VitD3. I monitor it by blood test. Vit D3 also stops me from crying for no reason.

It made me laugh when I first took it and stop sadness when the weather is rainy or has low sunlight. (S.A.D.) .

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
