Damaged Nails

If your nails are flaking or splitting, you have damaged nails. These are most commonly caused by severe dehydration but can also be caused by a heavy object dropping on your toes nails. Physical damage to your toenail may cause it to be thick until the damaged area grows out. This is why thickening of the big toenails is common in young men, particularly football players. Old people also often have thickened, hard toenails, probably because of the damage they have sustained over the years, and because their nails grow more slowly, it takes longer to repair the damage.

Customer Review:
"Vitanail has given my broken fragile nails some much needed TLC. I have tried many other treatments but nothing has worked. I've seen results in 3 weeks which I think is pretty good, thank you for all your help!"
