Its not a deficiency at all. The most common cause is injury to your nails before they grow in the nail bed. They take about 8 months to grow out. If your a nail biter like me you'll have heaps!
There is a small chance of it being zinc deficiency or a liver disorder but thats fairly unlikely and if you did have a liver disorder you'd have felt other effects by now.
They are harmless, just ugly! :)What are all those white bump things on your finger nails?
Theyre just were the nail has been bumped or knocked and the nails growth plate has been damaged leaving a scar (what we see as white flecks) many people claim they show deficiencies in zinc and other minerals but this isn't true.
I hear it can be a sign of cancer and crap like that...but i wouldnt believe that id say its because of not enough water or protein lol
