2. Nutritional Deficiencies
Nutritional deficiencies can lead to vertical ridges and other nail abnormalities. Key nutrients essential for healthy nails include:
- Protein (Keratin): Keratin is the primary protein in nails. A protein deficiency can make it difficult for your body to produce strong, healthy nails.
- Vitamin B12: A deficiency in B12 can cause changes in nail color and texture.
- Iron: Iron deficiency may lead to vertical ridges or spoon-shaped nails.
