Nutritional deficiencies can lead to vertical ridges and other nail abnormalities. Key nutrients essential for healthy nails include:
- Protein (Keratin): Keratin is the primary protein in nails. A protein deficiency can make it difficult for your body to produce strong, healthy nails.
- Vitamin B12: A deficiency in B12 can cause changes in nail color and texture.
- Iron: Iron deficiency may lead to vertical ridges or spoon-shaped nails.

Dehydration can affect every part of your body, including your nails. If you’re not drinking enough water, your nails may become ridged and brittle. Staying hydrated is important for maintaining the health of your nails and skin.
