Câu hỏi:Canxi có tốt cho móng tay không?
Trả lời: I don’t know of any evidence to demonstrate that oral ingestion of calcium does anything positive for nails, at all!
Nail plates do contain a very small amount of calcium, but that likely comes from the water we wash our hands with. Calcium is found only on the surface of the nail plate, and not in deeper layers, which further supports that the calcium comes from hand washing.
To my knowledge, the nail plate doesn’t need calcium and doesn’t benefit from it at all. Of course, should any convincing evidence become available to support this seemingly silly notion, I’m happy to review and consider that info, until then I would not recommend calcium supplements since they don’t appear to benefit the nail. The same is true for topical application of calcium; this can’t help the nail plate either.
