Does Knox gelatin improve hair and nails?

Knox gelatin improves my nails after 1-2 weeks. I still don't know exactly why. I use 1/3 packet plain Knox gelatin in water a day. Without it my nails are so weak that common tasks like opening a necklace clasp will cause the nail to split.


Does jello make nail hard?

No, it does not. And neither does gelatin. From Wikipedia: "For decades, gelatin has been touted as a good source of protein. It has also been said to strengthen nails and hair. However, there is little scientific evidence to support such an assertion, one which may be traced back to Knox's revolutionary marketing techniques of the 1890s, when it was advertised that gelatin contains protein and that lack of protein causes dry, deformed nails. In fact, the human body itself produces abundant amounts of the proteins found in gelatin. Furthermore, dry nails are usually due to a lack of moisture, not protein." One thing that does help is Biotin supplements. A group of Swiss researchers has demonstrated that use of Biotin supplements increased the thickness of nails by an average of 20% among participants of a recent study. A well-balanced diet is also important for healthy hair, skin, and nails.

What is the benefit of taking gelatin tablets 650 mg?

I have a friend who worked at baylor university. There was a research program and mice were given a combination of gelatin, vitamin a and vitamin e. After a few months the mice were furry little balls. Since then my friend uses this combination and it grows thick hair for her, it also grows and strengthen nails. Also., i googled gelatin and a company named knox makes gelatin and they even have one formulated for nails. So gelatin is great for nails and skin but i would add the e and a. She just takes a cheap brand of the a and e and takes whatever the bottle says to use. I suggest using kinesiology (muscle testing) to find the right combination of those three products (and also which brand to use), and whether to use liquid or tablet form of gelatin. You should be able to do an internet search to find out about kinesiology or perhaps the local library can help. Any good alternative healer or practitioner can teach you how to muscle test (kinesiology) yourself or have someone else do it to you. Good luck

Vitamin E will help make nails stronger and help them to grow. Also, the addition of gelatin to your diet will help. It can be obtained by eating a serving or two of gelatin dessert each day, or buying plain gelatin [available at most grocery stores and supermarkets] and following the directions for mixing in a glass of water.


How do you grow your nails long?

Don't bite your nails and eat iron, which makes your nails stronger. Put on clear nail polish (or a colored one) that says it will help strengthen your nails. Don't over wash your nails or else (i think) the enamel wears off.
