How do I know if I should take biotin or collagen?

Asked 2 years ago

My nails are incredibly brittle this winter, more than I've ever seen them before. On top of that, my hair is really dry and lifeless. I know that biotin and collagen help with hair and nails, but I don't know which one I should take. Should I be taking biotin or collagen?

Biotin Collagen

Both biotin and collagen are great at fixing dry, thinning hair and brittle nails.  Ideally, you should take both at the same time to maximize their benefits.  Look for hydrolyzed collagen as this is the form most readily absorbed by the body. You can choose to take biotin supplements on their own or as part of a multivitamin or B-vitamin supplement or from food such as dairy, eggs, nuts, legumes, mushrooms, sweet potatoes, avocados or fatty fish.
