    Some serious nutritional deficiencies (such as iron deficiency anemia, etc.), as well as some serious mineral poisoning diseases (such as selenium poisoning) do cause serious abnormalities in the nails, such as anti-nails (nails with upward curvature), nail removal, Thin nails and broken. Moreover, nutrient deficiency often affects the health of the skin (including nails). However, the white spots of the nails are calcium deficiency, and the nails are fluctuating because they lack certain vitamins. This kind of judgment is not reliable.
