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.

Should you wash your hair every day if you want it to grow?

Washing your hair doesn't really have anything to do with hair growth, as far as I know. Although there's a shampoo by Pantene called Beautiful Lengths (that would only keep your hair healthy enough to maybe get a little longer). But if you want it to grow, you should try Knox Gelatin. It's actually sold for desserts, but it's loaded with the vitamins and proteins your hair needs to grow. You can buy it in the grocery store, and you mix it with juice or soda or a smoothie or something. It's not going to taste great, but Knox gelatin works!! It makes your hair and nails and maybe even eyelashes strong and healthy. And if your hair is healthy, that means it will grow. But theres no medicine or hair product that will directly "make your hair grow long." You just have to keep it as healthy as you possibly can and it will grow.For more information about Knox Gelatin for hair growth, just Google things like:knox gelatin hair growthknox gelatin hairknox gelatin for nailsect...Hope this helps.

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.

Does gelatin help thicken hair?

I have been using edible gelatine in my diet for a few months and yes from what I see my hair and nails are stronger, I'm not sure if this is because of the gelatin only because I have also been using a mixture of vitamins and minerals.


Will eating a spoonful of gelatine help with arthritis and make your nails stronger?

According to the Arthritis Foundation there is no relief of pain or inflammation when gelatin is consumed; its effect is the same as a placebo. Collagen hydrolysate did appear to aid in the absorption of cartilage when combined with calcitonin. gelatin is recommended for strengthening hair and fingernails however, there is no scientific evidence to support either claim. the protein in gelatin has nothing to do with the type of protein required for the healthy growth of hair and nails.

How do you use knox gelatin for hair?

You have to go to the store or look in your cupboards for pineapple juice. Go in the shower and then get your hair wet. The water must be as hot as you can stand because it melts in hot water. Then use a little of shampoo and conditioner in your hair and wash it out. Next open the pineapple juice and pour a little into the part with Knox in it. wash it out and then shampoo and condition again.


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
