What causes fingernails to grow faster?

For the past few weeks my fingernails have been growing faster than normal. I've had to trim them almost once a week, before it was only once every month. And fingernails are supposed to grow slower in winter as well. And I'm 20, so don't say it's puberty.

I'm not asking how to get them to grow faster, I want to know why they are growing faster than they were two months ago.

Hey, I saw where you answered that question about having dreamed you're a wolf! Admit it, you're a werewolf, right?

But, seriously, it's probably a combination of hormones (they control stuff like hair and skin, which is why people can speculate that it's just puberty) and diet (lots of silica and calcium, vitamin B especially biotin, etc.).

It's considered a good thing if your nails are strong and grow fast so count your blessings.

Vitamin E

milk?

you are not bitting them, eat them

Well, an easy answer is that you might be eating plenty of cheese and drinking milk which is high in calcium content. Calcium is great for teeth bones and nails, and helps in growth and repair. Good strong nails are a sign of good health.

Cutting them often and proper nutrition.

Pregnancy make the nails grow stronger and faster.
