White Spots on nails, what does it mean?

What does it mean if my nails have white spots? Is it Zinc? or Calcium? or somethin' else?

I have had white on my finger nails for...a long time and now I am finally wondering what it is.

Some say "It is nothing just detoxification" and others tell me "I am worried about you, you need something" so I really just wanna get to the bottom and of the pit and find the cause!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks, and lot of love to all!

It's supposed to be a sign of bruising, and if you bruise easily you need to strengten your blood with iron rich foods.

Love,

Zinc deficiency. I have one, too, and I just got the raw pumpkin seeds to eat today, haha.

Here's a really good list and explanation of foods high in zinc and zinc deficiency.

Whoa, that must be why I craved shrimp like crazy a little while ago! It's on the zinc list... and I had those little white spots on my fingernails, too - and now they're gone! Ok well now I know some raw vegan alternatives for the next time I crave shrimp - pumpkin seeds & sesame seeds & peas aren't foods I really ever eat so that must be why I didn't crave them, my body didn't know.

I tried analyzing my cravings but I can't think of any of those foods on the list ever being interesting to me. The pumpkin seeds I got today were free, I was so excited.

I notice that I get the white spots on my nails after I've they've been hit, banged, smashed, etc.
