Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
Before commenting on whether anything can be done I would really need to get a glimpse of how bad your nails really are. Could you please upload an image of your nails (preferrably in the unvarnished form). You can do so using the facility on the upper right of this page.
Brittle nails may be caused due to iron deficiency. If that is the case, iron supplementation should help.
