The main supplements I would look into are Biotin, Silica, Zinc, Calcium and Magnesium.
Most times weak fingernails are a sign of mineral deficencies. Specifically the ones I listed above. Start out with zinc although I'd highly recommend the other supplements as well since they all play a critical role in hair, skin and nail health.
i used Knox gelatin-it worked very well, the only thing is once you stop using it, the brittleness returned. A pack a day in juice or water for about 2 weeks and you will start to see a big change and just keep on with the packet a day. My nails looked so pretty and they were strong and long. Good luck.
