How fast your nails grow is determined by several factors, including age, genetics, diet, and physical health. Eating a nutritious diet high in vitamin B, potassium, calcium, and iron contributes to strong and healthy nails and may make them grow faster.

Some companies sell vitamins that are meant to help strengthen nails, most notably using a b-complex vitamin called biotin, but there is very little evidence to suggest that these vitamins actually improve brittle nails.
