Splitting fingernails

I have my wife swimming 3 or 4 times a week. Her fingernails are splitting and tearing as a result of all the time in the water. Any suggestions for protecting fingernails? Thx! You have your wife swimming and you are worried about her fingernails? Hmmmm....:afraid: In hopes that you just worded that poorly - I think they make nail strengthener that she can use to help...

I find that if I am not drinking enough milk my nails will go to pot. I drink a whey protein shake after each workout (containing milk) to facilitate this.

OK. OK! I apologize for the wording. Should have said "My wife is swimming 3 or 4 times....." Still need a solution. Thanks

Fort - you've actually used this stuff - while swimming basically every day? I've tried a lot of products, Vitamin D, Biotin etc to no avail.

Low grade protein, like whey. If toenails do this, it could be fungal which requires labwork

Fort - you've actually used this stuff - while swimming basically every day? I've tried a lot of products, Vitamin D, Biotin etc to no avail. Yes, I just started using it every day a few weeks ago on a friend's recommendation. Seems to be working!

I would go with fort's idea.

I play guitar and my nails have been awful this fall. Thanks to this thread, I'm at least gonna put an oil-based skin moisturizer on my nails before swimming and I'll likely get The Fortress's nail formula.
