Iâ¿¿ve seen ads touting vitamin H as the best supplement for nails and skin, but is it worth the high price? Thereâ¿¿s some science behind the beautifying effects of vitamin H, but the nutrient is really just biotin, one of the B vitamins.
Some studies seem to indicate that consuming more biotin may increase nail thickness by as much as 25 percent and improve skinâ¿¿s ability to hydrate itself.
But do you really need biotin supplements? No, not really, you can get the benefits of biotin form your diet.
Snack on biotin-rich food (½ cup of peanuts, 1 cup of yogurt or half an avocado) daily should do the trick.
