That is caused by a calcium deficiency.

  Edith,
  If you don't mind my asking. The nails on all the fingers, or just a few.   
In other words, just one hand,  both hands, same same fingers on each hand if 
not all the fingers,  which ones.   Thanks.

      Does anyone know about a cause for vertical ridges in the fingernails?  
They look healthy, no sign of anything wrong other than many vertical ridges in 
every fingernail. All my life they've been thin and too delicate to grow out 
long, but they were always smooth.  Several months ago I asked my doctor about 
the ridges and she said she hopes they don't mean anything is wrong and showed 
me her nails which looked just like mine.  They seem to have gotten worse in 
the last few months, so CS must not do a thing for them.

    Mine have been that way for several years.  I've seen a ND and they say my 
digestion/assimilation is not up to par.
