I had a pretty significant vitamin B deficiency causing megaloblastic anemia and required shots weekly for several months...Also, I have had problems with highs and lows of calcium, iron, and magnesium...I had a hair analysis done which revealed no heavy metal toxicities, but a deficiency in molybnium (? sp), copper, and nickle...and of course, low ferritin (showed in blood tests too)...My doc believes I have a borderline malabsorption problem and a low intrinsic factor...Something inherited...
This sounds like a possible nutritional deficiency. Do you have ridges that run across your fingernails? In any case, mention this to your dr at your next visit because our hair and nails are a direct reflection of our nutrition status.
They are the same color as nails, not very deep but definitely noticable. These ridges are especially noticable on the bed of my thumbs and also on the toenails of the big toes. Other fingernails/toenails don't seem to have ridges, maybe just a few small ridges on index finger nails.
Yeah, I have the deep ridges, and only 5 moons showing. Last year I had one moon.
It's got something to do with hypothyroidism.
Not sure what the exact cause is.
Vitamin D deficiency is common with hypothroidism, too. I was taking twice the minimum daily whatever of vitamin D for over a year in multivitamins, and I still tested deficient. I'm taking a daily supplement now of D3, along with two multivitamins.
I appear to have developed ridges on my fingernails, they run vertically. Is there a medical reason for these ridges or fine vertical lines on my nails?
I take magnesium chelated with amino acids. There are various types of magnesium and some are poorly absorbed such as magnesium oxide with only a 4% absorption rate! I found a couple of articles with info on nail ridges and IST....

"Reasons Behind Fingernail Ridges
First and foremost, certain deficiencies in our organism, malnutrition as well as some other causes, may all trigger the appearance of these ridges upon a person's fingernails.
I have developed ridges on my fingernails. Plan on asking my LLMD about it at my next visit. I was thinking maybe it was the meds.
Did you bang your finger nail recently? Usually with a nutrient deficiency a number of nails would be distorted. At 12 years old, you need to eat 2200-2000 calories per day and have a variety of food that includes starches, meats, fruit and vegetables. The fresher the fruits and vegetables, the better nutritional value. If your mother is concerned, suggest going to your MD and getting your blood tested. It will indicate if any nutrient, vitamin or mineral is deficient or not.
Hi there. My middle finger on my right hand has 3 horizontal ridges very close together. I was wondering if it is more likely to be from an injury because it is only on ONE finger? What else could this be? I dont remember any injury but i also have 3 children under 6 with one on the way and usually have random cuts, bruises and scrapes that i cant remember how i got them!
The doctor says my thyroid hormone levels fluctuates as do my symptoms. My fingernails are the worst and I am so very tired and weak. They are very soft and thin with ridges. I thought the synthyroid was supposed to help with these issues. Am I wrong and is something else going wrong

I have constant migraines, my skin and hair have become excessively dry and my fingernails have become very thin, dry, split all the time and have deep ridges.

What causes ridges in fingernails? Does the presence of ridges indicate a lack of something in the diet?
Itchy raised ridges will appear over my body (arms and back mostly). They come and go randomly with seemingly no reason at all. My sister also suffers from these ridges and we don't know what they are. Any help?
The splitting and problem having strong healthy nails could also be a sign of a vitamin deficiency. I suggest you get checked out by a dr. It should be an easy fix, but it's best to get to the root of the problem to make sure it doesn't cause more issues.
This sounds like a fungal infection. You have mentioned the occurrence of ridges on the nails. Ridges on the nails may suggest underlying disorders like a fungal infection, anemia and dehydration. In fungal infections however, the nails may become whitish ,yellowish and soft. They will eventually separate from the nail bed.
Continue to observe the condition. Have you sought consult with the pediatrician? I suggest that you seek consult with his pediatrician for evaluation also.
Vitamin D deficiency lowers the immune system and can throw off the balance of other vitamins/minerals/etc.
Are you taking an iron supplement or eating high iron foods with orange juice and taking Vitamin C?
I take my iron with Lysine & the above and
1 teaspoon organic unfiltered Bragg apple cider vinegar (has 'the Mother'). It helps with absorption and stomach acid.
