Magnesium & Calcium supplements are cheaper still—nail biting can be a symptom of a deficency in one or both. And one advantage of suppliments is that you should know pretty quickly if that’s the cause or not; in the admittedly few people I know who tried suppliments it either significantly reduced nail biting within a week or it never helped at all.
Absolutely true. I test as I can, as difficult as that can be with a sample size of 1. But the magnesium/calcium supplement combo reliably stopped and restarted my nail-biting through three rounds of taking/not taking the supplements, which is as good a track record as I require. When I started testing my supplements I was not surprised to learn that several that had initially seemed beneficial didn’t provide any sustained benefit.

It can be really hard to tell whether a problem is more mind-like or more body-like.
