Nail Problem
I've been on Metformin for a little over six months. I'm having trouble with my fingernails. They've become brittle, peel, and grow very slowly. Is this a side effect of the drug?
Take biotin to help this.
You need to take magnesium supplements. Nearly every system of the body needs magnesium to process properly, including essential protein to build new muscle, hair, nails, etc. Metformin washes magnesium out of the body so you need to supplement with about 700 mg of magnesium kelate daily.
supplement with avacado oil capsules. . . . helps hair and nails
