A product for stronger nails and it helps the hair, too!
In the '80s I worked in a health spa, and one of the massage therapists recommended I try horsetail for my hair, as I was dealing with a REALLY bad perm. I swear by the stuff, and when I'm not pregnant, or broke, I'm taking two a day. When I take them, my nails seem stronger and less likely to chip on the ends. I don't wear nail polish (why have nice nails to change poopy diapers?), but do like my nails somewhat long. This is a product I recommend to anyone who is looking to enhance what nature gave them. My hair grows about 1/2 inch every six weeks, and my nails need trimming once a week. That compares to when I was pregnant, and on prenatal vitamins!
