Child has white spots on nails

[mtotheb]

Hey Guys! Just looking for some advice. My daughter who is pretty much 90% Vegan is developing white spots on her nails, I know this is a sign of possible lack of calcium. We give her really good calcium and vitamin D supplements from vitabiotics which she has everyday. Just wondering if you guys have any help or advice to resolve this issue. Thanks Guys

It's actually a myth that white spots are caused by calcium deficiency, it's usually just damage to the nail. Take a look at this link https://www.drweil.com/health-welln...ing/worried-about-white-spots-on-fingernails/

Thanks so much for taking the time to answer my question. It would make sense that it's caused by my child hitting her hand on something as kids do..

Once again many thanks

No problem

Is it better now, are there any changes?

Hi there

Yes it's all gone. We give her calcium vitamin daily and she eats fortified cereal and no problems since which is great!

You just have to go outside and get some sun for min of 30 min to get your Vit. D and get calcium from veggies and fruits. https://www.healthaliciousness.com/articles/high-calcium-vegetables.php
