Vitamin H (Biotin) Biotin is a vitamin that is a part of the B vitamin family and is helpful in increasing nail growth. This vitamin is responsible for strengthening as well as promoting growth of hair, nails and skin. You can obtain biotin from food or supplements, to meet your daily requirements. Foods containing biotin include whole grains, mushrooms, cauliflower and bananas.
To make sure you're getting enough, munch on seafood, chicken, nuts, eggs and whole grains. Biotin, also called vitamin B7 or vitamin H, is also important for tough nails and hair. Without it, your nails will become thin or weak. Salmon, nuts, lentils, bananas, beans and cauliflower contain high amounts of biotin. If you can't work enough of these into your diet, take a biotin supplement. It takes about six months for nails to replenish themselves, so you'll need to wait four to six months to see results.
