Hi Doc. Check our Morley Robbins' book "CuRE" - copper is essential to proper iron metabolism, and he argues we all have too much intracellular iron, even if we present with low blood ferritin, because of copper deficiency.

@ArsalanAspires

Too little zinc may negatively impact hair growth, but also consuming excess zinc can lead to hair shedding as it can sometimes but not always cause low copper levels. Low copper levels push us into the telogen phase of the hair cycle and can cause shedding. This is why it's important to make sure zinc is in balance, not too low or too high.

Last year, my cat bit me (5 surgeries, 12 days in hospital, and 7 months of physiotherapy), and she also damaged the bed of the nail of one of my thumbs. Now I have a large ridge down the centre of that thumb nail because the nail is regrowing as two separate nails (they are joined, but could split apart). However, the previously visible ridges on that nail have disappeared. I only have ridges on my thumb nails, and they began in my mid 60s, so are obviously age related.

Try a linseed poultice. A cup of seed a cup of boiling water blended til smooth and add s splash more boiling water if too dty. When cold spread the mix over nail bed etc and all areas damaged. Leave for.8 hours and repeat 5 times. This will melt away scar tissue and nerve damage.

I just started using 40% urea cream. The results are impressive. All of the dry cuticles skin is gone. The vertical ridges are softened and my nails have a luster. I can not believe the results. I highly recommend 40% urea cream.

My whole life I had a problem with my nails, partly because of my profession. I use organic castor oil and it makes a big difference for my nails. Rub a few times a day a little drop on the nails, let it dry very well and you will have nice shiny nails. The ridges are half of what they were!!

Thanks for.this excellent explanation!

Would a person benefit from collagen along with iron supplements?

@ArsalanAspires

4 ай бұрын

Collagen may help promote improvements in nail growth rate, nail strength, and nail appearance. Iron supplements should be reserved only for confirmed iron deficiency. Taking additional iron if your iron storage is healthy won't play an additional role. Hard to say.

Do you have a link for the Barielle ridge filler? I’m an R.N., I really like your videos. Congrats on your channel growth!

Collagen Peptides - 5g twice a day in tea or coffee. I play classical guitar, and after 20 years of trying "failed" topicals, etc., collagen peptides did the trick. The result wasn't immediate and I almost gave up, but after a month my nails quit breaking and were thick and sturdy.

I have excema and have always had vertical ridges and brittle nails. Although the excema doesn't actually effect my hands directly, the ridges are pronounced. Collagen/Biotin supplements help to a degree, but although the nails grow faster and stronger, the ridges remain.

Try Zink. It works also in exema. Don't overdo it . To much Zink blocks cupper. Take magnesium citrate with it.

Ordering the products recommended. I've tried other things that claim to work. The items recommended aren't expensive. Hoping this helps. I wont start looking for any changes for at least 6 months, and realize the total turnover will take up to a year.

My nails have always been ridged. They are also very thin and bend when not trimmed. I'm going to try slugging before bed.

I have pronounced vertical ridges but do not have any of those things you mentioned, low iron or psoriasis . I did have powdered dip fake nails for years. I can’t do those anymore due to the weakness of my natural nail. I had the ridges even before I started the fake nails. They are just more pronounced now.

@@ArsalanAspires All too often lichen planopilaris is simply written off as lichen planus. They are different from one another. I’ve had the scalp patch biopsy which came back with the result of Lichen planopilaris (LPP) and frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA). My immune system is attacking my hair follicles and my nails. I have the verticle ridges in my nails as a result. My dermatologist has only recommended an over the counter almond oil for my nails. It’s not helping. Thank you for your time and your expertise.
