Mineral elements are called macro elements (such as calcium, magnesium, etc.) according to their daily requirements of more than 1/10,000 of human body weight, and trace elements are called less than 1/10,000. At present, among the 14 essential trace elements confirmed by the World Health Organization (WHO), zinc ranks first.

Small white spots or white spots on your fingernails are not a sign of a lack of calcium or other nutrients. Although, theoretically, any part of the body (such as hair, nails, ears, eyes, etc.) is related to the overall nutritional status of the body, so nutrient deficiencies often show abnormalities in the parts of **, mucous membranes, facial features, etc., and some serious nutritional deficiency diseases (such as iron deficiency anemia, etc.) and some serious mineral poisoning diseases (such as selenium poisoning) will indeed cause serious abnormalities in the nails, such as anti-nails (nail curvature upward), nail loss of code, nail thinning and easy breakage, etc. However, small white spots or white spots on the nails are not a sign of a nutrient deficiency.

Therefore, when people keep asking me this question, my standard is that the small white spots on the nails, as well as the "small crescent" under the nails, have a very small relationship with physical health, if you really care about physical health or nutrition, you should pay attention to physical examination, pay attention to the liver, heart, kidneys, lungs, bones, muscles, fat, etc., and the small nails are not seen.
