To my fellow warrior who reminded me to take D3 in order to help my body absorb Calcium: I have always had strong nails and fast growing hair. Until Ibrance. Suddenly my nails were like paper, my thumbnails had ridges, my hair wasn't growing. At all. So I started taking 400mg D3 at least once a day. And WOW! My nails are strong, my hair is growing like crazy, full and shiny again! Awesome! So thank you my fellow warrior for the advice!

Thank you for this great tip! My nails are soft and have ridges as well and my hair is thinning. Do you take calcium tablets as well or just through diet?

I take a calcium, magnesium, zinc combo plus a senior's multivitamin.

Thanks for the tip. B12 worked for my nails but am worried about the thinning hair with ibrance. I will start the D3.

Also plus look up research on VitD and cancer! You want to keep your D level over 60

Hi,

My oncologist put me on Adcal D3 (calcium carbonate and vitamin D3) shortly after I was diagnosed. I have been taking that supplement, along with zometa infusions, and the rest of my treatment. My bones are strong, so I do believe there is merit in the supplement. I'm also taking vegan omega 3 capsules, and my nails feel velvety and healthy.
