I use decolorized iodine on my fingernails to strengthen them. I apply it with a q-tip, then blow dry my nails with my hairdryer. After 1-2 weeks of daily use, I back off the iodine use to 3 days per week. This is an old trick for nails that break easily. I purchase the decolorized iodine at my local pharmacy; it comes in a small bottle. And, yes, I do have hypothyroidism - secondary to Hashimoto's thyroiditis.
