Synopsis

Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 3

Chicken protein is a source of high-quality, complete protein, which provides all essential amino acids necessary for various bodily functions, including the growth and maintenance of nails. Nails are primarily composed of keratin, a structural protein. Adequate dietary protein intake, including animal sources like chicken, is important for keratin synthesis and overall nail health. Several studies and reviews (e.g., Dermatol Pract Concept. 2017;7(4):e98) have noted that protein deficiency can lead to brittle or weak nails and sometimes to nail deformities. While there are no clinical trials specifically linking chicken protein alone to improved nail health, the general consensus is that sufficient protein consumption supports healthy nail structure and growth. Chicken, being a lean and accessible protein source, is commonly recommended by nutritionists as part of a balanced diet for supporting nail and hair health. However, it is important to note that no unique or specific compounds in chicken protein are proven to provide additional benefits to nails beyond its role as a complete protein source. Thus, the evidence rests on the general necessity of adequate protein for nail health, rather than any specific property of chicken protein itself.
