Chronic stress acts as a silent exhaustor: it depletes nutrient reserves and impairs their absorption. The result? Nails grow more slowly, become ridged, and more brittle. This phenomenon is exacerbated if we tend to bite our nails or neglect our lifestyle.

Take time to breathe, to move… your nails will thank you.

Fair digestion: impaired absorption
Even with a balanced diet, if the digestive system is disrupted, vitamin absorption can be compromised. Bloating, irregular bowel movements, digestive discomfort… these are all telltale signs. What if ridges on the nails were a secondary consequence of this internal imbalance? Focus on fiber, simple foods, and listen to your body’s signals.
