Feeling Brittle Nails After Menopause? Here's What It Could Mean for Your Health

Explore causes and personalized insights for brittle nails after menopause using advanced testing with Mito Health.

Why It Happens

Brittle nails after menopause are commonly linked to hormonal decline, especially estrogen, which supports collagen and moisture retention in nails and skin. As these hormones drop, nails may become dry, thin, and prone to splitting.

Low Estrogen Levels: Reduced estrogen weakens nail structure and hydration.

Decreased Collagen Production: Less collagen affects nail matrix strength.

Nutrient Deficiencies: Postmenopausal women may lack calcium, biotin, or B vitamins.

Slower Circulation: Aging reduces blood flow to extremities, limiting nutrient delivery.

Thyroid Changes: Menopause can coincide with thyroid shifts that impact nail growth.

How to Manage

Boost Nutrient Intake: Focus on biotin, calcium, magnesium, and B-complex vitamins.

Consider Collagen Supplements: Hydrolyzed collagen may support nail and skin integrity.

Hydrate Inside and Out: Drink water and use moisturizing nail treatments.

Monitor Thyroid and Hormones: Blood tests can reveal imbalances treatable with lifestyle or HRT.

Protect Nails from Damage: Wear gloves and minimize harsh polish removers.

Restoring nail strength post-menopause requires targeted support for hormonal and nutrient health.
