I don't know whether its the almond oil I'm massaging with or the maca I've started taking but my nails seem a lot stronger than before and are growing a lot faster

Doesn't make any sense at all to attribute any of that to almond oil, if anything it might give your nails more of a sheen, moisturize them, but that'd also soften them, not strengthen them.

I think I've heard that attributed to maca before though, so it's possible. I haven't tried maca because despite my brain being female, my gonads are very male... I don't want to risk the maca balancing my "male" hormones and making me more miserable.

I've read online that almond oil can strengthen dry/brittle nails because of the nutrients in the oil.
I've only been using almond oil and maca a few days so it could just be my diet having more vegetables or something.
