This Supplement Strengthens Users Nails — After Years Of Struggling With Breakage*

Snagging, brittle, breakage-prone nails aren't the most dire of situations, no. But if you're regularly pining for the long, strong tips that are so in style lately, I'm sure it's, at the very least, a poignant annoyance. After all, there's nothing more appealing than what you don't have.

Nail supplements fall under the broad category of beauty supplements. And while you can find nail-specific options out there, you can also just find a beauty supplement that addresses nail health, alongside skin and hair. (Multitasking beauty for the win.) One such is mbg's beauty & gut collagen+, which features the namesake collagen peptides along with other beauty heavy hitters like hyaluronic acid and vitamins C and E. 

Collagen supplements contain short chains of amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins like keratin (what your nails are made of). The thought is that if you provide your body with those nutrients, it will be better equipped to grow healthy, strong nails. There's research to suggest this too: One study even found that when individuals took collagen daily for 24 weeks, it helped support their nail health1, improving growth rates, reducing breakage, and supporting appearance.*  

But don't take our word for it—users agree. Sara K. says, "I've struggled with weak, short nails for years. This has made my nails grow so long and thick. I am so happy."* Or as Vickie T. writes, "my nails are finally growing after trying many other products!"*

But it's not just the collagen—this blend contains several nail-supporting ingredients to make a more well-rounded formula. For example, biotin has been shown to support thickness and firmness of nails2 in several human studies.* For example, one moderately sized human study found that those who took biotin supplements had 25% thicker nail beds3 than the placebo group.* And antioxidants can help protect the body from stressors that may affect the nail's health: For example, vitamin E has research that shows it can help support a healthy, fresh nail color4.*
