How to Get Rid of Calcium Deposits Under Fingernails

Calcium deposits often appear as white dots or smears on the fingernail surface. A person whose fingernails are cloaked with these spots should find ways to increase his daily calcium intake. Calcium is responsible for building strong bones, teeth and fingernails. Those with calcium deficiencies may notice their nails are flexible, weak and easily torn. Find ways to ingest calcium throughout the day to improve absorption, rather than taking in large amounts of your daily requirement all at once.

     Minimize protein and sodium in your diet.健康な成人は、性別、年齢、全体的な健康に応じて、2,300 mg以下のナトリウムを必要とし、通常は1日あたり45〜60グラム以下のタンパク質を必要とします。 Excessive amounts of protein and sodium in your diet can cause the body to excrete calcium.

     Take supplements that contain calcium. Keep in mind how much calcium you already get from the foods you eat during the day. Excessive calcium intake can lead to fatigue, aging skin, weakened kidneys and calcium stones. When the body's calcium stores are sufficient, calcium deposits should gradually disappear from fingernails.
