I have just had a very interesting conversation with a lady in my local shop.
She has very long nails - I would say two inches long from base to tip and ALL that length, no shorter ones - and I always assumed they were false. Today I heard her telling someone they were her own. I don't have problems with my own nails as they have always been strong but I know lots of people do have trouble growing strong, long nails, so I asked her about them.
She said she always bit her nails, right up until her 20's - she is in her late 40's now. She used to do a job which meant opening lots of boxes and her nails were ruined. In looking for a solution she decided to try Berocca and her nails became stronger and stronger.
She said she drank it every day for years but it got too expensive so now she has the cheaper version from the supermarket - I don't know what this is but I think she said it was from Sainsburys could be somewhere else though? Apparently it has just the same ingredients, or very similar, as Berocca.
She also said she always protects her nails with gloves when doing housework, gardening, opening boxes or anything that might soften or split her nails.
She also said it makes her hair stronger!
Always good to get the recommendations from 'real' people who've been using the products for years.
