What vitamin / food is specifically good for skin, hair and nails?

I've had really bad skin, hair and nails for the last month or so, though I've tried to take care of them. What mineral might I be missing from my diet that is necessary for their upkeep?What vitamin / food is specifically good for skin, hair and nails?
Vitamin E, D and the B vitamins particularly Vitamin B6 and B12. There are compumd supplements on the market designed specifically for skin hair and nails. The most common brand is ';perfectil'; but most of the larger chemists and supermarkets do their own cheaper brands.





Diet wise lots of fruit and vegetables are very good for you. I swear by tomato juice which is high in vitamins and a strong antioxidant (gets rid of nasty free radicals which can damage skin and body cells.) Also high protein foods like cous cous and pine nuts - also yummy!





Green Tea is an excellent antioxidant which can help your skin.

Also, make sure you're drinking plenty of water. It seriously helps ALL those things. And make sure you're getting enough whole fiber. Good luck!
That's right.
There are many vitamins, minerals and other essential nutrients such as fatty acids etc that are useful for the well-being of skin, hair and nails. Generally, a well balanced diet and drinking loads of water should do the trick. In addition, you may wish to suppliment your diet with a daily dose of multi-vitamins but be careful because an overdose of vitamins can be as harmful as a deficiency.

You could cover most of your bases by using a general multivitamin and mineral complex once a day, like Centrum Forte. Two other products that can be used to fortify hair and nails are zinc and biotin, which can be purchased separately to supplement what is in the multivitamin tablet. Also, make sure that you are getting enough water, and a balanced diet, making sure that you get enough protein, which is something that often women lack the proper amount in their daily diet.
